Personally I couldn't give a shit about 1/4 times. Unless you're doing sub 8 secs in a RWD car you don't impress me.

^ that's the shit!

What does impress me is when somebody with a shitbox soccer mum wagon drives it like he stole it thru the twisties every week and only managed to stack it once

Out of curiousity Owen, how much strain does running a car down the drag strip put on it?

Ive always considered taking mine to the strip but have always been hesitant. Mines an auto so id imagine brake boosting would be hard on the car.

Auto + Sedan =
Jake = 1
Twisties = 0

Not much. You don't need to be sitting at the line brake boosting the whole time. Just a couple of seconds to get the boost up when the yellow lights start flashing. Top mounts are a bitch though. Intake temps would be pretty high.

Owen dear? It must be that time of the month for you.......

[jay.ritchie]

I even offered to race him in a 90kw 1.6NA earlier this month, he made it sound like he was all keen, then bricked his ecu on purpose so he wouldn't have to lose.

Hahahahaha thats exactly why i bricked my ECU.

RomeSTi took his to the drags, ran big boost on E85 and came home... go for it

[owen]

Don't get too excited. I'm complimenting your effort, not technique.

[<GB>]

Ha ha gee guys !! Relax or just buy a v8 twin turbo ha have the best of both worlds !

By the way I drove to the drags and hOMe again it's no big deal if you're not making massive power and likely to
Blow something ! Clutches and launches may be a problem if it's not upgraded, am auto would be sweet

I did 0-100 in about 5.5 seconds today - car feels great. On revision G, H will probably be the last for now. Just need to do some more logging.
