a type r will not win some other performance cars quarter mile and acceleration but in circuit track they can win easily. is that quarter mile and acceleration are enough to define a car is fast or not? leather seats? sunroof? LOLQuote:

As I stated previously, I'll scan in the car mag which clearly states it does 16's, sometime this afternoon.

Coladuna - post in this thread again talking crap and I'll ban you for a week too. Thank you for stating the facts from Wheels magazine but everything else you have said since then has been rubbish - you seem to be extrememly negative in many of the threads you post in and more often than not, it is not welcomed OK.
TypeG - Same deal for you too. There are too many personal insults and the two of you should be adult enough to now leave it.
My "excitement" at a 16second pass was purely because so many people believed a sub-17 wouldn't happen and correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember you were one of those people....
Now lets leave it at that.
Ok here's pieces of the Wheels August 2004 article:
First off the important bits:

The overall performance figures, including other cars:

And rough scans from some of the pages, if you're intested or still doubtful:

Good work!
Good work there to show all the figures... as I am getting a bit offended by those unnecessary comments....
lol...that scan now really seals my nightmare...lol
that jazz did the same trap speed and 1/4 time as my auto DC5...hahahahaha
top stuff.. impressive results :)
I have some various editions of Motor and Wheels magazines, and not all of them have this figure for the jazz, there are definately some figures saying jazz's only do 17's.
I've seen a lot of vagueness in the quarter mile times in the summary sections of these mags. Which is where i'm guessing colundra was looking. The numbers found there are just guides as they are done under a wide range of conditions, fuel load, temperature and degrees of uphill/downhill. They can't take every car to the dragstrip to test it.
Wheels article i posted is a more reliable source than these summary sections as it was done under proper testing conditions at the track.
oh comon typeG... this fight is over ok? haha
ur euro must be fxxking fast :thumbsup: :DQuote:
