i.e not stripped,road tyres, normal fuel, taxed&tested
4x4 and 2wd plz ?

 

I managed 14.462 last year in a 4x4 fully loaded inc bass bin in the boot.
Stg1, mongoose and cone filter.

I am sure it could do slightly better had I been more aggressive lauching it, but I wanted to get home with it so took it relatively easy

Oh, and I had a tax disc on my windscreen, should I remove it next time for that little extra speed

 

a dam sight quicker than your cav will ever go i am afraid.not a dig in any way its just that front wheel drives are not as good as rear wheel drives for drag racing.

for example:- one of my mates has got a phase 3.5 cav running front wheel drive with an lsd and konis.it is about 300hp give or take.it absolutely murdered my sierra on the road,but could not get within half a second of it on the dragstrip.my sierra was a 2.9 4x4 with a turbo technics convrsion putting out 250hp.

there were a couple of 2wd sapphires at york on sunday.one was doing low 13's at 115mph.

i did a 12.64@118mph in my old saff 4x4,t34 and greys

 

I've done 13.6, stage 1 4x4 saff.

 

well my car is set up for track use

ie bilstein tarmac front suspension , bilstien gravel rears so it basically pretty hard and it isn't much good for 1/4 mile

i have still managed a 13.003 @ 116 @ pod (standard rd tyres)

I have also done a 12.87 @ 109mph @ avon park (standard rd tyres)


it has full trim/interior as the road car and it's 2wd 350bhp @ flywheel


4wd with this power are alot quicker they will do about 12.4's / 12.6 's if launched right

marco

 

So many 13.1s

One day i will be in the 12s

Steve.

 

Nice

Winter or summer ? Mine was central day last year, it was hot

How hard did you launch ?

 

I managed 12.5@110mph with 340hp in a stage 3 cossie 4x4.

 

let me take it up for you i'm about 4 stone lighter than you at the moment
will be a 12 for sure

 

I done a 11.43 full trim etc

2wd


Lee

 

Im just over 18 stone Mark

The wife is trying to get me on a diet

Tib u always do well at acceleration! i seen u in the mags and they said u keep gettin 4x4 times to 60mph and your 2wd your 3dr does good too

 

my friends running a full road trim saph cossworth 4x4 with the added weight of dynamat and sure he's done an 11.2

 

i got 4x4
and getting alot more than 300bhp! so sierra was a
good weight comparison i thought?
be happy with a 13.1 very i think
i can only launch with 300 tho as the piss weak 4x4 will bust

 

me thinks you be wrong then lol


well its not a cos but its got a cos engine so my alfa did 11.6 at pod

 

thats mega fast

 

if there is one person that can launch a Rwd Cos thats is TIB he is a master at it and credit where credits due nuff said

danny b isn't too bad either

i'll have to take a few tips off them

 

i did a 13.8 in my stage 1 cossie (was not right tho,only put out 205bhp!) at 99mph was rwd

 

Awesome stuff

 

Must be SERIOUSLY powerful if you are correct.

 

rwd Full trim, road tyres
11.5 @ 138 in gt35 Spec
Its not been tried since, but have Knocked .4s off its 0-100 so 10's may be just possible in the near future.

 

just a thought rod but if your car had some of 4x4 system in what it would do to 60mh and quarter mile times etc

 

Seen one do 11,07s sometime in the late 90s

 

2wd,13sec flat@115.9mph

 

552bhp, just had a slightly more uprated T4 fitted as well so hopefully will run a little bit more power. just awating the rolling road and the set up. car really is immense!!!

 

Would have to be a skyline one, lol

Be in the tens easily with 4wd i should think, but we wont ever know, lol

 

I'm running 340bhp stage 3 saff... 1.7BAR on a .48 T34

My best is a 12.62 @ 110mph with a 0-60 ft of 1.671

Car is heavy and has all seats/trim/bass box and wieghs 1315kg with a full tank of fuel + myself.

Not bad , but then i am a complete loon when launching!

 

a saph weighs 1315 kilo without you Mark...

 

Good times here

 

i ran a 13.4 in my 2wd saph running 342bhp and 320 lb/ ft

now running 370bhp and 379 lb/ft so will see on sunday

 

i did a 12.75 .... stage 3 341bhp/349lbft in standard road trim

sorry 2wd

 

my personal best is 12.9 in my old 2wd saff full trim ,sound( mdf boot install) etc

 

In my old Saph,

425hp 2wd, fully loaded with shyte, trim & sounds + baldin tyres I run a 12.81 @ 119mph at Central day bout 4 years ago when I run outta money on the day for runs & Rod Tarry payed for 3 runs for me cos he wanted to see me get in the 12's ! True gentleman !

Jb

 

I got it professionally wieghed and on the digital display it read 1315kg with me in the drivers seat Wim

 

Mine wieghed in at 1276 without me in it,

 

Tib, havn't you got some "secret squirrell" rear suspension mods? And what size are your rear tryes?

IF a 2wd was set up purely for 1/4 mile times as a road car, nothing silly like drag radials etc, ie road legal race tyres, like the block tread avons for example,soft suspension etc and a decent set up, do you recon a solid 500bhp should get you into the late 10s?

 

Nothing that special about my suspension, i just chocked the springs a bit,

it fun watching people keep trying to get under my car to see the "secret" ha ha

i run 225's at the mo but had my best times on 205's, 205's just wont go on my 9" rims though


500 would get a late 10 in theory but its just never that easy and i dont think anyone has yet

in a real world of road going cars 600bhp struggles, if i could take all the best bits from all my runs and stick them together i could do a 10 but it just never comes together

 

TIB what spec you running ?????????

Great time

 

That was a few years back, remember that i was more chuffed than you when you ran a 12.
