around 6 secs to 60 and around the 15 sec 1/4 mile i think.
6 seconds to 60. nowhere near.
I've seen a standard stripped Corsa XE do a real time timed 5.9...
Andy Braceys old 2.0 16v ran a 6.4, full interior, standard engine (inc airbox). That was on 15"s, stieny heavy skirts, airdamn, V6 brakes etc (all adds weight).
From the years, i've worked out as a rough rule.. (Depending on driver, engine condition, car modifications).
15"s - 6.0 - 7.0
16"s - 6.5 - 7.5
17"s - 7.0 - 8.0, but morelike mid to high 7's.
18"s - why bother with a 2.0 and worry about performance 
As said, top end is about 135-140, if its standard, your really not gonna get much more.

Also...
16" wheels on an F20 box will reach 59. something mph, so you will need to get into 3rd unless the rev limits higher...
Hence why i laughed at the trax time below..... I was changing at 6k (Opposed to the 6800rpm limiter), and I was still in 2nd when the timer stopped
It makes me look big and hard down the local youth center though
