106 GTi book time is like, 8.7 or 8.8 seconds.
I timed mine multiple times, both directions on the same stretch of tarmac. Used engine rpm from OBD-II and calculated wheel size and I used the good ol stopwatch.
Averaged 6.8 seconds?? O_o that was with 1/4 tank of fuel, 15 degrees outside and dry conditions.
I'm very thorough in testing things

I also made a formula for calculating HP at the fly based on 0-60 time if I know the weight of the car. which I worked out to 136hp, and the dyno showed 138

also, I didn't jump on the bandwagon, I was trolling. I'll make sure to insert my sarcasm disclaimer next time, so you can interpret that as you wish!

A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
