yes i could but i'm not going to as we've done it so many times before.
If you want to do a list like that you would have to make it from actual 1/4mile times not a glorified calcualtor.

Its using power to weight figures to calculate acceleration.

You may as well use your ass dyno!!!

It's funny how people believe whats on paper and not on performance times in the real world car manufacturers often make up performance times to sell their cars autospeed tested the new honda civic type r uk edition and it did over 8 secs to 100 km/h not the quoted 6.5 seconds like honda said and crx mark 2 wtf my old 1989 levin with 140 hp beat one of those off and that had done 180,000 kms lol most of those cars on that list are really heavy may have alot of hp or bigger engines but are way slower and those t sport corollas aren't very fast either those runx corollas without any supercharger or turbo are bloody slow. Heres a hint mate learn to live in the real world and don't believe crap you read on the internet lol and Cal is mean't to be the most annoying person on tgtt.com it even says on his page

Honestly anyone on this site really bothered? I love my starlet and I've owned evo's 220turbo's etc and out of all the cars yeah the evo was great fun but pound for pound the starlet is the best buy I've ever owned. The fact that all these cars are supposedly quicker on paper makes no difference to the enjoyment I recieve from turning the key and driving. Also the figures quoted are total rubbish cos not every car off the production line is identical I've seen magazine articles where new cars from the factory have been rolling roaded and been more than 30bhp down on the quoted paper figures. But if thats what floats your boat you go on paper figures:)
