24 seconds on two cylinders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[The Roadie]

Basically slow, unless you're running a mig or something.
Well I would say slow as some of my mates have Cossies and Evos that run in the 13s. One has an R5GTT that does 14.1! HERO!

[mattvallins]

A couple of mates have converted cars, 1 has a 14-second Corsa. FRIGHTENING. Another is an MR2 that will be 13.4! I just hope that my mini will be sub-20, which it sounds like it will be because its basically stage 1 998. Oh, and VERY lightened.......

[duds100]

14.6@93mph. See engine spec thread

[AndyWh1te]

16.6 @ dunno mph
1275 stage 5, twin 1.5" SUs + C**p driver :erm:

One lad who i've seen at york a couple of times runs a road legal 1275 turbo which regularly runs low 13's, got about 150hp though.

[Turbo Nick]

if it regularly runs low 13's then its the fastest road legal turbo in the country!

i think jon f's time at last years showdown was about 13.8 which won class D.

[Matt Brighton]

I did a 17.7 sec 1/4 mile at the Brighton Speed Trials - 77.9 mph

 

Its not a proper drag strip (obs) -  public seafront road all year , maintained to the usual council standards - patches and ripples with camber on the road ...and it was my first time and you only get x2 runs in my class  so hoping to improve this year

 

Engine is a 1310cc with 1.75 Hif 44  -  piper 255 (mild road) cam , aldon ign and lightened flywheel - metro head, not high compression. Twin box RC40 exhaust with LCB 

 

More torque than BHP - never had it on a rr so no idea of bhp...

My mate has a Ginetta G27 with a 4.5 V8 balanced, lightened, big valve head, high lift cam on throttle bodies. etc etc ...now that would be worth seeing. Probably half the weight of an Evo or Impreza.
