118 is correct. I know

0-60is somewhere around high 7 second, low 8 second. 0-100 takes forever.

lighter weight wheels (less reciprocating mass), open up the intake/exhaust.

If you want to go crazy, Cosworth sells cams and all kinds of high-performance parts for the 2.0/2.3L You'd have to upgrade your computer to something you can program to get the benefit of those parts.
