My first two half decent cars in my twenties, a 1.6 Golf Gti ( AUM 880X) followed by a 1.6 Pug 205 Gti ( B211 UCP) both had sub 9s 0-60. That was a long time ago!
I appreciate 0-60 times are irrelevant but it’s nice having some power to safely overtake agricultural vehicles and similar in my part of the world. With more power comes better brakes, which can be useful in a worst case scenario, although not as useful as one’s reactions.
As my motoring life draws inexorably onwards, there’s still one final itch that need scratching. Whether than ever happens is a moot point.
