The supposedly weaker Sentra 180GT and Lancer 1.8 MX both did it in under 11. Other "135" to "140" HP cars like the Lynx RS AT (in Taiwan), the Mazda3 2.0R, and the Focus do it in around 9 and a half.

The Honda has been tested to do it under 9, but that's 155hp. The Lynx RS MT does it in 8.3.

Again, the 1.8 G Altis engine is really smooth and good at fuel conservation, but it's not 145hp. More like 120.
I never thought the Sentra and Lancer 1.8 can outrun the Altis 1.8. The Lancer may have the most advanced gearbox but I used to think its engine is weaker. How did C! test it anyway? I remember in their previous 1.6 comparisons that some cars had exactly the same 0-100 time (as in to the hundredths). Now is that possible?

Better check yours first having given yourself that handle.
