After researching the Avenger...I can answer my own question. There 0-60 is
in the low 9's. They suck. Just goes to show that looks can decieve. They
look fast and I have been in my buddy's(parked only) and it seemed sporty.
Of course I guess it falls into the same realm as a crystler lebaron. Looks
sport, but isn't.

I don't feel that proud any more. Maybe if I was in a 4cyl Jetta GLs or GL.
Oh wait sorry no flames. =}
