0-60 - 5.9
1/4 mile - 14.2 @100mph
skidpad - .88g
slalom - 68.2mph
top speed - 155mph limited
weight - 3163lbs

Darn impressive to me....

Two strikes against it:

One is the speed governor (What? they couldn't afford to put hotter tires on it?)

Two and more troubling is the porker weight, god that just screams "Lazy engineering" (IOW boost the sucker out the wazoo to make up for the weight, makes for a peaky ride I would think)
