0-60 time revisited

Quick update on the 0-60 time. I occasionally make a pass on my way to work and see what time I get. I still spin the wheels a bit, but I've been getting 12.8 seconds pretty consistently, so this may be the best I can do.
I can't help but think a real driver on a track could do better, but this will have to do for now.
Still, it's faster than a Triumph Spitfire, MGB or the original Porsche 914 - http://www.albeedigital.com/supercoupe/articles/0-60times.html
I'll continue taking an occasional pass to see if I can better 12.8.

Not so fast...
I was checking the throttle over the weekend and noticed that it didn't go to the "full on" position - so even with the accelerator on the floor the motor was only getting about 90%. I reworked the cable and connected it to a lower hole in the pot-box arm. The car is noticeably more responsive. I'll try to get some 0-60 runs in this weekend.
