Another one of my friends had the same car, same engine but it was turboed at 8 psi, he would make 13.5 sec runs. The tuning wasnt great as he mostly did everything himself. Hes now in the process of dropping another engine in cause the 1st one blew from over revving.

The mx3 is not that heavy, the GS model that came with the 1.8L v6 motor weighs in at 2580 lbs (the 2.5L version of the engine is the same motor with different bore, stroke and compression ratio), a 1st gen aveo is around 2350 lbs and the new gen is a WHOPPING 2570 lbs!!! (taken directly from the gm site, and double checked on google)
2570 lbs for a 2010 aveo!!! thats insanely heavy. So imagine if you have 2 guys in there at 200 lbs each, your pushing a nearly 3000 pound vehicle with 108 hp, no wonder theyre so slow.
