just wanted to get everyones info on how quick (0-100, quarter mile, top speed etc) the euro actually is............and do we all get a flat spot when we hit second when the vsa is on???? is it the traction control telling the wheels not to spin??? very curious.

Have not tested my car yet but I know so far it feels like the more I run in my new Euro the fast it is :D:D

Depends on MT or auto. Do a search and I think you will find some figures here.

The manual version goes from 0-100 in less than 8 seconds and the Auto one is slightly slower than that. Not sure about top speed and quarter mile times.

Check this thread at tsxclub.com forum to give you an idea of maximum speeds.
There's no chance I'll be attempting some of these speeds!!

FYI : 1 mph = 1.6 kmh

Did mine nearing 200km/h and Blow Me! The car is as stable as if you're driving 60km/h

During Spring, my car measured 15 on the RSM-GP, at Heathcote on a 36Deg temp, I ran 15.7

0-100Km/h varies.. best time I had was 7.02 I think...

Every oil change has made a difference with my Euro. Just tried Shell Helix Ultra 5-40 which is good - but I think the semi-synthetic Castrol R stuff I previously used revs faster (10w-30). The other thing that majorly impacts the Euro performance is ambient temperature. With a crisp melbourne morning (ie 5 degrees) my engine feels like a totally different creature.
