    Saab 9-5 Estate 6.5 seconds to 62 mph

    Likelihood of me doing a video on this...Nil...I am not a boy racer...I am a good driver...although...I do drive like Ayrton Senna at points and Niki Lauda at other times all depends on my mood..

    Cars I had:
    Suzuki SJ410 ´85 0-100km/h = No idea
    Volvo 440 2.0 ´94 0-100km/h = 10-11sec (worst car I ever had:mad:)
    Toyota Corolla 1.6 VVT-i ´00 0-100km/h = 10sec (Loved that engine and its sound on high revs)

    Cars I have:
    Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 3.0D ´75 0-100km/h = Dont know. Feels like 30sec ? Not even supposed to drive that fast.
    Toyota Hiace 2.4D ´01 0-100km/h = over 20sec ...

    My Civic and my Ex GF 2010 Sentra SR 2.0. Mostly rev ups in a long ass tunnel we have near our house. Then I get on it on the Highway (low traffic, don't worry lol)

    My old 1995 Buick Century 3.1V6. Actually sounded nice (pushrod V6 is the best sound IMO) Had a CAI and a muffler Delete, but the muffler delete barely added any sound.

    My Tacoma says it will do 0-60 in 7.0 Flat, and its a Crew Cab with the extra long bed. 5 speed auto. For how big (and red) it is, it puts a lot of cars to shame, namely the Civic Si at highway speeds, I leave a lot of them and sentras and the like. Smokes tires with TCS turned off and just mash the throttle. New mud grabbers and a 3" lift, bull bar/lights and (possibly) a TRD Supercharger kit are planned for the summer this year, should be TONS more fun.

    My Saab is pretty quick too,

    This is an aero but an older year, Mines an Arc (mid level) but with the better transmission. Pretty much just as quick (only about 15hp difference)

    I haven't personally timed it, but i have a Seat Arosa 1.4 TDI (75hp standard) with a tuning box that gets it to around 100hp, i've seen reports from others with similar setups suggesting it'll do 0-62(mph) between 8-9 secs - although being a diesel it's most impressive really between say, 40 - 70 when you get all the torque.

    It's only £30 a year to tax and gets great MPG, it goes plenty quick with 100hp in such a small car and insurance costs are about as low as they can be as obviously my insurance don't know about it having an extra 25hp, as if anything happened i would just remove the tuning box... best of all worlds, really.

    Gotta love Rosie :)

    She's getting some coilovers and polybushes in the next month, get a bit of a lower stance and make it handle like a go-kart!

    Unfortunately at the moment she aint handling great :( , the driver's side wheel toes out at the bottom, which naturally means it doesn't track straight, hopefully my new suspension / bushes will sort her out.

    0-60 times says my dad's Altima Coupe SR does it in 6.3
    Not bad for a CVT and FWD

    Why only say something about me? I'm not allowed to drive yet and that car may be one I use.
    On topic: Gabester I like your choice of car.
