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.

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

good weight comparison i thought?

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
