Well personally I only managed 16.5s in mine (1st time on the strip), but with no burnout box to warm up your tyres tho :( Not sure if that would have made any difference, but any excuse will do :p

with serious gas on i could see it theoretically possible but without ? post it up when you get a back to back - very interested would love to see the timing stats

i had a freak one off once in a 9sec car showing a time slip of 6.5 from something blowing across the track breaking the light beam :) looks good in a frame and one day who can tell eh ;)

you definitely talking 1/4 mile ? if its for real and you got giggle gas to use you're talking a 12 sec run from a 1.8 16v?

this i GOTTA see

had me worried then :)

have seen a 16v 150bhp nova hit high 12's on slicks but that needed a 100bhp shot of gas in it

low 13's is 300bhp ish and getting evo/scooby territory

ah... thats not bad :)

Im planning on a 16v soon, dont want to be disapointed with the power. I have also considered a toyota starlet 1.3 turbo. They get in the 15s as standard ;)

if only all driving was 1/4 mile at a time it'd be so easy.

valvers don't get going til 80+
