Not sure what type of stop watch you are using and where some of you keep coming up with your trap speeds. Maybe you have a highly modified injection pump, exhaust, and turbo? Technical specs show the wagon at 11.9 sec for 100km/hr....or 62 MPH. That is one second slower than the sedan. That of course is in perfect brand new condition.

I think my 12-13 sec estimate for a well broken-in motor is pretty close
