Default 97 se performance stats

I just purchased a 97 SE and i was wondering if anyone knows what the 0-60 and 1/4 times were? I have seen many different times, rangeing from 8.4/16.4 to 7.7/15.4?

I would say around an 8 sec 0-60 and high 15'* for the 1/4.

It should be close to this, but keep in mind car-to-car variations and track conditions:

1995 Pontiac Bonneville SE 7.1 15.4
1996 Pontiac Bonneville SE 7.7 15.8
1998 Pontiac Bonneville SE 7.3 15.5

Alot of that depends on what year SSEi you're talking about. 92 will be one time range, 93 another, 94-95 yet another, then 96-99 a bit faster, then 2000-2003 a little slower.

But it needs alot of updating. I'm currently working on the new format with updated times for everyone.
