Well, back in its day, I clocked 0-60 in 9.4 seconds with a top end of 120+ indicated.
Not super fast, but this is in a 4500 lb / 225 inch long American land yacht.
I finally got rid of it as the cooling system kept going into cascade failure, not to mention that about half of my income at the time was going towards gasoline... That's when I bought a 1983 Nissan Sentra. 42 mpg, an ok car, except if you had to accelerate... or withstand a crash...but that's another story
