Thumbs up "First Drive" Article in AMI Auto World Weekly (Feb 27,2001 issue)

(Pages 30 and 31)

Nice pictures and no negative comments.

They claim 0 to 60mph in 7.3 seconds. (?)
and quarter-mile in 15.6 seconds at 91mph.

0-60 in 7.3 ain't gonna get it!

So far the 2 or 3 magazines I've seen have had disappointing numbers. I'm SOOO glad I decided to keep my 2000 and just do the Comptech upgrades. From these numbers, my 2000 w/ Comptechs should beat a Type-S... We'll see...

I'm only jealous of the fact that the Type-S has a beefed up tranny to support the extra power. Makes me nervous about how mine will hold up. It looks like I'm already going on my second and that's with no upgrades yet.

Each magazine has its own method for determining 0-60 numbers. Weight in board, launch technique, whether it is normallized for certain temps and air pressure, etc. Therefore, you can't compare numbers from one source against another. They won't match.
