also the mr2 has a lower 0-60 because its better at launching being rwd, on the move in gear it might be a different kettle of fish
same reason my leon could beat uk spec scoobies but still had a slower 0-60 because scoobies being 4wd could lose time launching better

see the 106 is anywhere between 17 and 20
based on my 1/4 mile 0-91 too 15.3 seconds, its only gonna take another couple of seconds max to get to 100 from there

also 8.6 - 60 which we again know is wrong
my real world experience with accurate timing shows it goes to 91 in 15.3 seconds, and i also know it definatly will only take a couple of seconds to get to 100
those 0-100 times were probably done in the same fashion as the 0-60 with la payload, and a passengar etc

0-60 means nothing anyway - Manufacturers use these times to make slow hatches sound fast! 0-100 is where its at!

But in this case even though I dont like mentioning 106GTI's, I think it would be close to an NA MR2!
