2005 MCS performance specs?

Does anyone know where these are listed? Or does anyone have the basic specs that you can tell me? I'm wondering what difference the increased power in the 2005 has compared to the 2004. What 0-60 times? What 1/4 mile time? What slalom time? Thanks for any information.

I heard that 0-60 is down from the currently published figure of 6.9 seconds for a 2004, to 6.7 seconds for a 2005. This is basically due to the revised gearing and 7 extra hp. I would think with the addition of the LSD this would change some.


I would assume that the 1/4 time would be roughly the same, maybe a .1second or so drop. Also the slalom should be pretty similiar, except for again the use of the LSD, which may improve that some.

I'm also interested but nobody has said anything yet. I'm guessing somewhere in the 800-1000 range, thats just a complete guess.
