Looking through some 2012 Compare Specifications on a few cars....

Got my MIL one last year BUT with a V6, 6 speed auto. Has great take off at lights and all around good manners . BUT never just held it to the floor. I think it has 280 HP. So I guess it should go low 12s anyway :biggrin: The 4 cyl didn't impress me at all.

You got that right...

Something just not right....that would be a full 1.5 faster then the GN was new.

No 3800lb FWD car with 249HP is doing 12.9, would think 15.9 is more like it.

Look at the Sonata, 3400lbs with 275HP is doing 14.5

BTW, I just picked up a 2.0T Sonata Limited last month to replace my dying 98GS, nice overall car with some spunk, especially at highway speeds
