9 secs in a 3door would need 800bhp on drag slicks i would of thought

Very very very quick to do that time in a 2wd sierra.

I always thought a std car was in around the 14/15 second area

I know it's very quick, just not my thing, I just watched some other cars on youtube and was amazed the "slower" car was 1 sec behind the other car, but passed nearly 15mph faster.
I can't see the fascination with 1/4 myself, was more just curious how a cossie stacks up as a family 4 door car these days.

It's defo got slicks, I'll see if I can dig the link, it's totally stripped etc, and as afaik is used just for 1/4.

Mmmm....8-900bhp evo's on slicks don't generally do times like that so must be VERY special if it's doing that as purely a modified road car and not a tubbed drag car!

Very fast, the standard car is 15 secs and around 90 odd MPH, Saph was faster than this (14 @ 97MPH)!

I have a video of a Saph doing a 11.82 at 124 MPH pass.

Looking at the original road tests in mags such as Motor, Autocar, Performance Car, the 3-doors were timed at between 14.8 and 15.5 for a SS1/4

This is Si Norris running 9.2 in 160mph with near on 900bhp so a 3dr doing 9s must be absoultly manic.....

get the video up

Mike, i was reffering to the car Tab was talking about, to run 9s it must be near 800bhp i'm guessing so a terminal of over 150 or near as i'd say, i'm no expert mind but terminals give a good indication of the power..

Mike1

Is this a high 9s?

Mike, i reckon that's 4wd the way it launches, it'd be everywhere else... 960bhp though....

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

That's 4x4 though.

Staffi

iTrader: (1)

Dave, i reckon it'd still take 800+bhp to get low 9s, i mean it's damn nearly high 8s Tab says.. that's some going in a 3dr..

There is a 3dr drag car that pulls around those times iirc, its grey and runs a big block V8 supercharged.

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

Quite possible Pete.

Lol @ that white 3dr vid... It shows nothing to back up the 9.6 claim, or its terminal...

the car your on about belongs to somebody i know in malta and is street legal and has ran a 8.9 and as they dont have a dyno out there that will read that high a figure unsure of power but would say around 850 to 900 ,runs gt42r

turnover

heres a vid from 2 weeks ago when i was there 9.1

The kalanc 3 door.Sure it run a 9.3 on its first outing.Uses a different rear suspension setup though,not standard sierra.Didnt reailise its in the 8's now! The engine was in a mk1 escort drag car running mid 7's.We need a car like this 3 door in the uk to show up the japs!

turnover

runs a 9inch mustang rear end and your right Chris,s escort ran a 7.4 on race fuel not methonal and he still says was fastest 2 litre on fuel not meth

puddy

Buy rods sapphire,stick a decent linked 9" ford beam axle in the back and knock yourself out !

puddy

Ps.
If you then wanna go quicker, stick an air shifted five speed liberty in it with a proper drag clutch.

puddy

7.4 what?

Wayne saunders ran 7.4's years ago in his bdte powered focus drag car on race fuel.

didnt know that pudd
