Calibra does 105 is second gear /OT
no THAT'S crazy!! lol and I thought my gearbox was close ratio! hahaha
is your lancer a 4 speed? if it is, it must have a super long 4th gear (or low top speed)
but anyway, the point I was trying to make before though was that handling can equal performance and is therefore a fair test that wan't outweighed by the astra's performance

Calibra - The only car that will institutionalise you and send you broke in the mean time
astra isnt short geared IMHO, it actually benefits from only 5 speeds as it has such a torquey midrange
5spd. tops out about 170ish. well arpund there all i remember was trying to hold the car in a straight line and it stopped pulling. had a quick glance at the speedo and it was around there. hit the breaks and the car didn't want to stop or slow down. needless to say i havent done it ever again
you can live in a car but cant race a house
