i have had a lot of what i thought were fastish cars. back then my 205 gti did 60 in about 8 seconds (only a 1.6, couldn't afford the insurance for a 1.9. it did gave the 1.9 alloys though). i thought that was so fast. things change though. most people would crap themselves in a really fast car no realising what they have. i don't drive my subaru on the road much now, just too fast. mostly just pootle about in it, take her out on sundays.

but I get about 27/28, all of which is on twisty turny lanes
A mate of mine used to have a 1.8 non-turbo diesel Escort. I don't know what the 0 - 60 time was, but at motorway speeds, pulling out into the third lane to overtake a wagon took some considerable planning. 60 - 80mph acceleration was a bit like measuring tectonic plate speed.
