The situation could simply be that you're driving a vehicle that is maintained to original specs.............all prior vehicles were not.

I have an app on my phone called Speed View, it's a GPS based speedometer. It also has 0-60 and 1/4 mile time measurements. Originally downloaded it to check performance on the GTO and verify the speedo on the Yota diesel project. Might help you guys too.

I would peg my 0-60 within the 11-12 second range. I've never really officially tested it. I can confirm my 420sel is in the 8 second range :eek: :D Helps when an engine and trans have 50k since a full rebuild.

Neither one of my cars has any significant blow-by. I'm not sure you judge compress on blow-by alone. At least not from what I have experienced. It is a good first check, though.
