[QUOTE="xblitzkriegx, post: 16633109, member: 105608"] 16.6 @ 85 mph haha, what a crock of shit. I love how it shows them absolutely roasting the tires completely through first and a solid bark in to second. None of the Quad4 powered cars were allowed to show how fast they really were. Hell, the Beretta GTZ equalled the Corvette that year on some handling metrics. I owned an I-Series Calais for quite some time. That car ran 15.2 @ 92+mph bone stock except for a K&N drop in at Memphis. When I moved, I only had access to an 1/8th mile track. I threw some DRs on the front and ran a 9.50 @ 74+ mph. Eventually, I put a 2.5" exhaust and made a fender CAI plus I swapped out for a W41 eprom. Was a great daily. The suspension was pretty good as long as it wasn't too rough, twist be rear made it twitchy. If you actually tracked it, the rear hubs would fail quickly, they were undersized. You could swap out for Cutlass Supreme rear hubs by hogging out the bolt holes on the axle but you'd have big bolt pattern wheels out back. The brakes on those cars were quite bad, 10" discs front and 9" drum rear. The car didn't weigh a ton but still, they were undersized. I had some old school Yoko AVS Intermediates back then. I could stomp on the brakes at full force at 60mph and the brakes physically would not lock up, not matter how hard I pressed lol. [/QUOTE]
