Gerald San Agustin:
My best time in the quarter mile is 11.77 @118. Dyno verified horsepower is around 350 bhp. The real thrill is the acceleration from a standing start as 0-60 come by at 4.7 sec (Vericom). I probably will never stop finding new ways to increase the power of the little 1.6 motor. 

Ken Tokowitz:

I have one thing to say... put on a condom and buckle up!  There is no lag at all... and all that crap that everyone else kept "theorizing" is just that-crap.  They have no clue what they are talking about.  ...  The car is mechanically and physically tight.  As you step into the gas, all you feel is PURE acceleration.  The ONLY time it slows down is when you shift, or get off the gas.
