As a 21 year old college student most of my peers have a hard time understanding why I think my 85 hp 30 yr old car is so fun. Usually I get the question, “Okay, It seems like you can make a lot of upgrades to this car, If you did that how fast would it be” I usually answer with a stutter, uh uh I dunno. So, with a 200 hp six and moderately stiff suspension, what kind of numbers do you guys have? It would be very interesting to see some braking stats, 0-60, some form of slalom, anything. I’m also wondering if the guys out there with 300 to 400hp or getting that much more for performance.

I was thinking the very same thing this one time when I was riding out a 450 degree spin at 60mph (NOT on a public road)... I agree with JP. Not on the road. Go to an autocross. It's safer, there are whitnesses, there is no disputing the outcome, and you'll meet cool people who will edumacate your friends that real fun doesn't happen in a straight line.
