Gen 6 1/4 mile times Options

[alex1981]

Hello. I do quite a few mundane things. One of those is to collect "real" 1/4 mile times from submissions via my page, forums and so on and have created my own page of statistics. Some people like this because they can submit their times and compare it with other users on the same forum, or cars of a similar power/type...or compare their own home build to much more exotic cars!

There is a distinct lack of Gen 6 Celicas on there so a few submissions would be very welcome Standard, modified and extreme are all accepted.

You can either submit (and of course view existing pages) at: http://www.aj-computing.co.uk/misc/quartermile/

or reply to this thread with:

Car:
Year:
Engine:
Power (specify flywheel or at wheels):
Tires:
Time and Trap speed:
Name:
Excuses:

If you dont have all the details, don't worry, we will leave them blank until you re-submit.

Thank you

Alex

Reason for edit: added engine for sawps, and tires: street or track

I ran 12 flat in my 7th gen on drag radials and making 550 to the wheels. i had a perfect launch and a 1.8 60 foot. mid 12's is not as easy as you think. the 7th gen is lighter and i still havent broke into the 11's....not yet. i have videos of this on my you tube page, just look up eodninja6

I dunno man..know for sure the car has plenty of trap speed for it, just look at what other similar FWD cars like the srt4 ect are running with similar power. typicly, youll see guys that trap 106- 108mph and run high/mid 12's all day.
not taking away from your times at all, but with 550whp, i'd expect much better times than 12 flat. again, just look at what similar cars are doing with that much power.

Driver mod is the biggest factor in my times. put someone with experience behind the wheel of that car, and it would have been a much better result, im 100% sure of that.

maybe should have worded it better in my first post too.
i prolly should have said, " ...easily has a upper 12sec car, mid 12's with a great driver/setup"
my 2.2 60ft is what kept me from running high 12's in that run. make that 2.2 a 1.9 or even 2.0 and that run is damn close to a high 12sec run, without a doubt.
if i haddnt snapped my alternator belt on that run, i think my wife prolly would have run 12's before i did, she always did have better runs than i did, after all it IS her car! lol
unfortunately for her, she didnt get to make a run after i ran the 13.6, the bolt that holds the alternator tensioner bracket to the engine snapped, which let the tension off the belt, and right after that run (or maybe during it?) the belt snapped.

i was in a street class and had to use a radial tire. i was spinning the tires all the way down. If i could have hooked up, im sure i would have dipped into the 11's or 10s
