Demon's right, click here if you don't believe, it's an edmunds test on eco cars. Directly from article
Quote:

It's zero-to-60 time was a neck-straining 7.9 seconds, more than ½ second ahead of the next closest competitor. That same advantage held through the quarter-mile with the Chevy posting a 16.2-second quarter mile time at 85 mph. Just to put things into perspective, we'll tell you that those numbers are better than a V8-powered Lincoln LS or Audi A6 2.8. Oh, and did we mention that our car was equipped with an automatic transmission?



Now granted this was a 2000 model year Cavalier but do you really think that the quarter mile would be worse after 3 years of refinement. And not just that but in order for you to keep up it would have to be .6 seconds slower.

Also I've seen Demon's wife's car, it was a clean little thing (for a chevy). And I definatly think he probably knows what he's talking about.

(also as an interesting side note the Focus placed second in the competition, they take some shots at the Contour while praising the Focus, and they also praise the Mtx-75 as the best tranny in the competition)
