5sp manual Baja Turbo Speed Test?

BajaBratBoy · 01-12-2004, 11:17 PM

Any one have any published data or real world data on the 5sp manual Baja Turbo?

Car and Drive as well as Motorweek did the review on a auto Baja Turbo. 0-60 in 7.3 seconds and 7.5 seconds.

They also did a review on a manual FXT 0-60 in 5.3 seconds and 6.3 seconds.

I know the Baja is 300-400 lbs heavier, and should be slower, but no news on exactly what it's times are.

Also looking for some sort of Torque vs HP curve charts. The FXT has the exact same engine so it's chart will do also.
