Here is two questions I can't find

answers to.

What is the book or tested time of our 626? Einstein, I am looking at you for this one.

More interestingly, what is likely to be the fastest 0 to 60 times you could achieve with a 626 or an MX6 if power wasn't the issue? I am looking at FWD traction issues here and I am not looking at daft wide slicks, just normalish road tyres no wider than you could get under your archers, say 205 to 235.

I am thinking of adding Mark 626GT to my ignore list

magazine tested times are approx 8 sec 0 - 60 which I think is way out.. other tested figures I have seen are 7.2 for the 626 V6 in stock form.

With a turbo (or two) I reckon it could get down to around 5 secs, (if the clutch held out)
