I guess the guys at R&T didn't do their homework or they got a really bad car to test... or maybe they couldn't drive a stick ;) Either way, 10.5 seconds make the car pretty slow. 8 seconds... well, it's not so bad anymore. I don't know, maybe I just happen to have an exceptionally fast car ;) And as I said it was 100% stock including the air filter, airbox, old OEM Bosch ignition coil and so on.
