#16994 of 23988 Metro... by andre1969 Jun 05, 2008 (6:53 pm)
My 1985 Consumer Guide has a test of a Chevy Sprint, with the 1.0/stick. They tended to like it overall, and while they didn't publish a 0-60 time, they said that Chevy claimed about 12 seconds for 0-60. Which, for that era, ain't half bad. Heck, they tested a BMW 3-series at something like 11.4, with a stick.

Replying to: hotrod_vw (Jun 05, 2008 9:11 pm) That VW has either been modified or is a non US Spec car. All US Spec cars had fender-top mounted turn signals after 1958 AFAIK, before that they were just above the bumper on the lower edge of the fender. This car has turn signals in the bumpers which I do not think US Spec cars had, nor do I recall any VW Bug with stock wheels painted to match. The wide whitewalls are a 1950s style that was seldom seen on Volkswagens.   Edit:I found a pic of a similar '78 VW 1700 from Ecuador that has the flat windshield and bumper mounted signals, no doubt it was built at VW do Brasil.>   Replies to this message: hotrod_vw (Jun 06, 2008 4:19 pm) andys120 (Jun 06, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: andys120 (Jun 05, 2008 1:38 pm) Wow, I gotta watch that show. I remember a great show from the 1980s called Crime Story that replicated 1963 Chicago pretty well. Replies to this message: andys120 (Jun 06, 2008 4:49 am)

Replying to: lemko (Jun 06, 2008 4:37 am) I rented Crime Story recently, it's a blast.    The new season of MM starts July 2 on AMC.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 05, 2008 9:10 am) The Suzuki Swift GT/GTi had 100hp and weighed 1,800lbs or so (I still have one). It's great fun to drive, but so were the smaller Swifts (US models had 70hp 1.3L fours) and Sprint/Metros (48-55hp threes, 70hp turbo three, 70hp four). Someone once said that it's more fun to drive a slow car to 90-95% than to drive a fast car to 40%.

Replying to: hotrod_vw (Jun 05, 2008 9:11 pm) I'm going to say that this is a 2003 Volkswagen Sedan Ultima Edicion.
