at the moment the car is completely standard.... and it seems quite sluggish.... it gets to 80 - 90 no probs but struggle to hit 100. Once it get to 100 it will creep to 120.

the book sez it shud be hitting 60 in about 9 and topping 130mph. Are they lying lol.... i had the car serviced, a new exhaust has been fitted, do you think new plugs would improve performance? bearing in mind that this is a twin spark engine will i need to fit 8 spark plugs ?
