im sorry, but anything above 10 seonds 0-100 feels pretty slow, and average. 0-100 in 16 seconds is actually slower than an xe corsa by about a second

KNocking 1.5 seconds off by simply adding a small low boost supercharger is good for a car.

I wish  i was like 16 and me and a mate got on the boat back down river and a security guard got on, we shit ourselves thinking we were about to spend 15 yrs in maximum security prison so we went to the back of the boat and chucked them off. When i threw the rubber it slipped out my hand and landed on the back bumper, i thought i was getting caught

About as slow as a Cio 182 then. Or a 2.0 16v Corsa...
Astra VXR is only about 14 seconds to 100mph.... Is that slow, it does 152mph.
Whats the definition on slow?

Yeah, with no dash, 1 seat, and plates as rear wheels.
Most XE Corsas are about 16-18 seconds 0-100mph.... So they must be extreeeeeeeeeeeeemly slow They aint quick I know, but they arn't "Slow" either
PS, my 15.2 terminal was 93mph.... Whoop whoooop
