According to http://cars.kelkoo.co.uk/b/a/ps_12249950/100354123.html , the 0-60 should be around 14 seconds.

Edited with correct link for the SRI spec.

do a 0-60 test.... it'll show ya.

also depends a bit on engine temp etc... if its a real hot day mine feels sluggish, but when its cool it pulls nicely.

check air filter isn't blocked up, also decat is a good way to fell the pull, i've noticed mine has lost a lot of pull higher speeds or higher revs since i've put the cat back on.
