While the 1.8 may be fun to play around with, if you want to see stock quickness, you should hop in my 03 2.5 6 Speed Manual Spec V

. I'm really impressed with it's speed off the assembly line. Dunno what the 1.8's do, but the Spec V's do anywhere from around a 5.1- 5.8, so you have to figure 6 speed manual 2.5lr runs(lets say) about a mid 15, i'd say that a 1.8 auto is in the high 16's/low to mid 17's. However, not to say that it isn't fun... just dunno if I would call it fast, yet. I don't even call my spec fast, not until I get some mods...
