Default Performance Times

Is there an offical factory list somewhere that shows all the performance times (0-60, 1/4, 0-100, and so on) for all years of the Bonnevilles from when the 3.8 was first put on these cars?

Every year, the weights change on each car, and all the times are different. I was just curious to see a comparison from every year.

Everywhere you find them, they vary greatly. That'* the biggest problem. I wouldn't put any of them any firmer than +/- .5 seconds.

But GM has to have test results for each car. Is there a way to get a hold of that?

For your 95 you're looking at an 8 second range 0-60 in OD, without brake torque, and a roughly 15 second range 1/4. You have a lighter series II car.

Yea, I knew it was around there.

But I swear there has to be offical facts out there somewhere.

There are a few sites with bits and pices like edmunds and car and driver but no one site that catalogs it all, Maybe you could put one together and become the keeper of the flame?
