Acceleration, sec
0-30 mph, sec 2.0
0-40 mph, sec 3.0
0-50 mph, sec 4.1
0-60 mph, sec 5.3
0-70 mph, sec 7.0
0-80 mph, sec 8.7
0-90 mph, sec 10.7
0-100 mph, sec 13.1
1/4-mile, sec @ mph 13.62 @ 104.78
Braking, 60-0 mph, ft 120
600-ft slalom, mph 63.5
200-ft skidpad, lateral g 0.80
3,725 lbs. (not specified if dry or curb weight, I expect it is curb)
The car is a manual 6 speed. I also hear the bottom of the car sports many bash plates for unimproved Australian roads. This car is built to last on dirt roads, but looks to be a few hundred pounds heavier than a Trans Am.

I think the GTO is a boring looking tank... I have no interest in it, just thought some of you guys would be interested in the #'s.

I'd rather have a 4th gen camaro. ;D
