one of the reasons i'm also into my turbo dodge is that way back in the mid eighties these little cars were turning 0-60 times in the sc range, after a little tweaking you could easily get sub 6 second 0-60 times
this exerpt is from an article which i have the link below which also has dyno results (not my car though).
the fact that you could have this using all factory parts for REAL cheap nowadays makes it VERY INTERESTING.
"Twelve second cars. Yeah, your uncle Herbert's got a 454 Chevy that once ran twelves, after he towed his killer race car to the track and bolted on a set of 11-inch slicks. He only had $10,000 in the motor, too. Your buddy down the block had a Buick Grand National that ran in the twelves, but he bought head gaskets by the case and kept spare transmissions in his glove compartment. He finally got so many speeding tickets that he had to sell the car to pay 'em off. Some Mustwangs can run 12s, too, if you push 'em off a cliff and time 'em just before the first bounce.
Now then, virtually everyone reading this magazine has, or knows someone who has, a Mopar that runs twelves. It's not that hard, really. Even with a 318. Consider this, though: when was the last time you saw a diminutive little 135 cubic inch econobox 4-door run sub-thirteens, get 28-plus MPG, corner at .9Gs and stop on a dime and give you six cents change? Still not impressed? Suppose we told you this car had a stock bottom end, stock compression and was built using factory parts exclusively? This is virtually the automotive equivalent of having your cherry cheesecake and eating it, too."
