Default Performance Info Sites????

Hey guys and gals. Whats a good site for general performance info on any make or model of automobile? I'm doing a little research on horese powerand 0-60 times, so if you know sites that display that accurately that would be most helpful.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I can't really find other posts asking this question.

I don't know any off the bat, but I know that Tamara does, she has posted some stats about 0-60 times. Send her a PM, she knows for sure.

Or a general web search might be a good place to get various sources and info.

I'm pretty sure that site is accurate for most cars. I tested mine once, it was 9.4, that site says 9.5. I did my mom'* car once 0-60 around a year ago before she sold it, that was 7.2 seconds on her 95 SSE, that site says 7.1. My bro'* 92 seems a little slow though . That was 10.1 seconds when I tested it a while ago.
