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.
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!

2005 Honda Civic Hybrid

While we're on the note of 0-60 times... I don't know. Most magazines time this car at around 11.3 seconds (not too shabby for a 93 horsepower econobox). Gotta love the fuel economy. Driven right, it can consistently net 52-55 MPG. Try doing THAT with the CVT Civic Hybrid.

Even in my 01' Si's 127hp engine, only gets average 30mpg...

I drive a 1999 Chevrolet S-10 with the 5-speed manual... wouldn't get it any other way.

As for 0-60... I don't know. I have a day off from school tomorrow, so I'll check it out. Hahaha.

Wow. Yeah, the 0-60 was under 8 seconds, and the quarter was more like 13-14. I corrected the post and I'm not sure how I screwed that up.

It was bone stock, by the way.

The V8 'Maro is considered to be a 13-second car. I believe the V6 is in the 14.5-15.0 range. It was known to do better than Mustangs from that generation.
