Welcome aboard! The Bricklin wasn't designed to compete with high $$$ exotics,
but mid priced Grand Tourers, specifically the Corvette. A 1975 Car and Driver
comparison test lists:
Bricklin Vette
0-60 8.3 7.7
0-100 34 22.8
1/4 mi. 16.6 @ 83.6 16.1 @ 87.4
top speed 118 129
No skid pad tests, but I can say from personal experience that the Vette had
the edge. The Bricklin was still in a stage of early development when it was
forced into production. With minor motor mods, suspension tuning and
additional bracing; it could be a real sportin' machine.

I am new to this service, but have been following the Bricklin for a
year now. I was curious as to if there are any times for 0-60mph as well
as 1/4 mile times, slalom and skidpad results, etc. I love the car, but
am a true SPORTS car enthusiast and cannot see the Bricklin running hot
times with a 3 speed automatic trans. That seems to be the only flaw with
this car, and it is a damn shame nore people aren't aware of this beauty.
Thank you for your time.
