That's 2% response folks�-- TWO PERCENT!
Pathetic.
* Best time for a 2.1 wbx engine is 8.0 seconds on 215/60/16's in a '89 Westfalia!� Seems like stock tires would have lower times -- could use more stock tire size 2.1 data.
* Best time for a 1.9 wbx is 11.0 seconds on 195/r14's.� There are only 2 reponses for 1.9 engines.� Any 1.9L under 11.0 seconds out there?
* Only 1 turbo engine�owner sent info�-- 6.0 seconds on 215/75/15's.� That's an inline 4 German engine.� Any subaru turbo's out there want to post your time?
* Subaru 2.2 engine category only has three entries -- avg. mid 6 second range.� Anybody running a 2.2 with a time under 6 seconds?
* 3.3 svx engine is running in the low 4 second range, with one outlier data point toting a canoe.� Can a svx engine post a 3 second time?
All data is needed to confirm or disprove prior submissions -- so, even if your result has been posted, send in your results too!!!
