1.) his car has over 130,000 miles on it. yours has, what? 80,000?
2.) He'* had several transmission issues throughout the past few months..
3.) His car has 225 horsepower in stock form. It has way more torque than the 4.0 though. (275 ft-lbs)
4.) Spinning the tires is darn good for a 130K engine and transmission issues to boot. I think his car did pretty well everything considered.

He means that the car really drops off power, doesn't make any power that high.

Yeah it was still fast, but i was not exactly comparing it to my car. lol.

BTW, mine is around 7-7.5 seconds. Timed it numerous times with my friends G-timer. In 94 degree weather with 100% humidity, it is 8.6 seconds. In 69 degree weather and no humidity it varies between 7 - 7 and half, depending on incline. Its not too bad but the warm weather kills it.

I have yet to do it on a cold start...i dont like going fast until its warmed up a bit. Cold starts are very fast though.

What was the outside temp in that vid?

I've never found G-techs to be that reliable nor accurate.

As to shift points, you all have to remember that the redline was raised for Series II engines.

Redline was also raised by 500 rpms between 93 and 94.
