My poor little Cobalt only has .92 and 70.0 slalom.... Which is completely irrelevant....

those numbers stand fairly consistant for the 135i but remember MotorTrend/Car and Driver recorded a 4.7-4.9 0-60 time for the Z

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
