I would shift the shifter, and then there was some indeterminate amount of time, then the gear would shift with a sync of some sort (poorly in my opinion) , and then kind of lurch. I mean, to me, it was poor. The plain automatic is OK.
I'd be happy with a 128 if, with a couple reasonable mods, I could get it under 6 sec., in the "sport manual" shift mode.
Raceman says he can get below the mid 5s (I'm interpolating here) with his more seriously modded 128 (including ECU tuning, which I don't know of anyone doing here in the state?)
