Ok Gents
Thought I'd throw up some performance data on the General Lee, my old
Amazon 
Blue Urq coming back into my possession after 4 years like a regifted  
fruitcake with a lot of shipping abuse...  Now adorned with a faded
tornado  hood, 
sunroof and trunk lid...  Hence the Dukes reference...  Stock WX
engine, CIS,  
with Euro head and cam, 200 flat flywheel, 15psi boost on a  stock k24
turbo 
with stock exhaust.
 
First traffic light drag a few weeks ago was with a hotshot in a  350Z.
10 
lights worth of his various attempts at launching, I only lost 1  when I
bogged 
the clutch on round 6.  Ran it to 70 (in a lower zone, ahem)  each time,
and 
the guy wasn't fairing very well with the idea.    Published data puts
the 
average 0-60 on that machine as 5.8sec
 
Second reference traffic light drag was a 3.5 Maxima SE.  6 or so
lights, I 
was about 1 car ahead each time at 70.  Both of us laughing at  the idea

actually, a conversation struck as we waited for a commuter  train.
Published data 
puts the average 0-60 on that machine as 6.2  sec.
 
I have a lot of respect for that nissan motor and driveline
configurations  
in both cars.  Actually surprised me that with no shrouding on the IC, I
was 
able to repeatedly take the 350Z.  Thought you guys might enjoy the
thought of 
it, as much as I enjoyed the laughs.  To add to the fun, it took  almost
20 
seconds to get the PS window down to speak with the Maxima  driver.
C'est ca, 
the mistress we call quattro.
 
Yes Mrrs Mills/Swann, the headliner sagged in the back, the driveshaft
still 
knocks, and the rear pumpkin still clunks...  
 
Cheers
