I can't imagine I'll be doing a massive amount to it, but I guess once you catch the bug...!My question (and please excuse me if it's already been discussed elsewhere but I'm new here and a quick scan around the place proved fruitless) - what sort of numbers is a stock G6ET such as mine good for? I guess in particular I'm curious abouta) rwkwb) 1/4 ET @ MPHOf course I've read Wheels magazine and Cars Guide etc that suggest 0-100 in 5.1 secs and 1/4 in 13.3 secs, but figured I'd ask around the traps and see what you guys have achieved.Your memory does extend far enough back to when your cars were actually stock, right??!!
