S4rge has got the pictures right, except the steering wheel is not on the right hand side. I've attached an example of my picture as well. We also drive on the same side of the road as in the US, and car set up is the same. And no Audiphile, I'm no royal prince! I'm working out here, originally from Canada, and this car... (you guys are gonna hate me) is my company car.

Royal Princes get SLRs and Ferraris, not Peugeots. :)

Thanks, looks like you just stole my car... :wink: exactly the same. V8 or V6? any clue what these will run 1/4 mile? I timed my own 0-60 and got 8 sec.

V6, just like yours, although mine was a '99. I did an "unofficial" (between two white 1/4 air-enforced speed strips and a stopwatch) quarter-mile in about 14 seconds. (Edit: 0-60 time was under 8 seconds) Not too shabby, but to really pull that heavy F-body, you need the the 5.7L.

But not with today's gas and insurances prices! Good man for getting the V6. If you shift consistently around 2200 RPM, you can easily get 27/28 MPG (combined city/highway). Of course, it can be slow driving, but it'll save ya for all the repairs GM throws your way. :lol: Just kiddin'.

i used to drive a 1990 Dodge Daytona V6 5-speed, but its bleeding coolant out from the water pump area

Now i drive a nice, slow Mazda. Its actually a nice car. i clocked the 0-60 at about 11 seconds...

i never tested the Daytona's 0-60 but i would say its around 9 seconds.

7.8 in the 1/4 mile :shock: !? what kinda mods did u have in there!?

Edit by Johnf514 - 7.8 was a typo; it should have been for the 0-60 time (see above post)

The Daytona must have a faster time from 0-60. My Prizm has a 9 second 0-60 time (supposedly. I haven't timed it myself).

Prizm pride!
