    Sorry, I searched and couldn't find this info. I have heard it the official time is 5.5 seconds or so, is this about right? Is that with/without abusing the clutch?

    And yes, I know, these aren't dragracers and so on, but I don't want to be beat by a v-8 mustang on the street either.

    Thank you!

    Check Edvar's site for some other 0-to-whatever test times (but some could be for the non-US versions) by several sources (click on "Articles" on the left, and then "Specifications" under testarossa):

    but they're all with clutch abuse ;)

    (And beefy V8 Mustangs will give you fits in a drag race because the power to weight ratio is about the same as a TR, but the gears in a TR are much taller.)

    bpu: Did you find your Road & Track articles (as mentioned in your thread from a few days ago)?

    Miltonian, I haven't had a chance to find them yet. When I get a chance I'll go to the public library. If you could email any you have to me, I would appreciate it, but I don't want to impose. Either way, thank you for everyone's help!
