Easy trivia
What was the advertised 0-60-0 (or was it 0-100-0?) time for the 928, and which year did that appear?

That fact always fascinated me, because it seemed like a lot of stuff to be doing in only 9 seconds!
Let's see, I got my first car in '86, a Renault Alliance, and I'm pretty damn sure that I was still waiting to hit redline in 1st after 9 seconds at about 35mph! I hated that car, and wrecked it three times before the insurance company finally totaled it out. What can I say, it had like 135/13s on it which were always howling and braking loose all over the place!
On the bright side, it was a 2 door coupe!

Thanks!-
Yep, Chaadster wins, and a special award for Sierra for actually (almost) posting it.
As soon as I work at the prize I will let ya'll know.....
P.S. My first "car" was a 1964 IH Scout 80, and in 9 seconds motion could be detected.

9.0 seconds it is...someone has an avatar with the ad in it! I forgot who it was though? I wonder what the 0-100-0 would be 18-20 seconds for a stock car?

Soom years ago one of the car magazines(I think it was Road & Track) ran that test for a group of production cars. The winner(at that time) was a 427 Cobra. After that I think the rest of the world discovered it didn't make any sence. Who drives a production car like that anyway? A current Hennesy Viper would make that time look slow. But after all this time it still sounds cool.
