dang, thats good time for a 115 hp car.  what rpm did you take off at and where do you shift at? i dont know how i could get that fast when i was pushing it hard to get 18 flat. do you think the wheel size can make a big difference?



It's 110 HP... not 115... I'm really curious where the 115 HP rumor started. I wish I kept my factory papers and brochure that contained all the specs on my ST.

As far as where I idled before the launch, I don't remember... it's been 8 years bro. But I think I idled around 2300, then floored it when the last yellow lit up. I would shift right before fuel cut (I think 7700 RPM's...) I really don't remember since where the fuel cut is since I haven't driven my car for over a year...

As for wheels affecting the time... let me just put out a big HELL F'ING YES! I got that time on the stock 14's. As soon as I got the 16's... my time slowed down to 16.9's to 17.2's

Spoilers will also affect 1/4 mile times...

And a bunch of other things...

damn, I can still remember making my own heat shielf back then... with a fan... which didn't do jack ish for my 1/4 mile times... I even used the laundry hose thinga-ma-jigger for ram air... and that didn't do anything either...

For those that wonder why I'm so ill and put down so many products... this is why. I've tried a lot of different things since then... and nothing seemed to help. You can only squeeze so much out of the 7A's and 5S's, unless you have the funds for boosting it and rebuilding the internals... which IMHO is a waste of money and can be better spent on a motor swap.

I'm sure some of you dislike me for taking away from the joys of modding, but I don't mean to... I'm only stating facts that I've learned from PERSONAL experience...
