quarter mile

[Guest redemption]

Hi,

 

Well i am on the hunt for a Mk iv at the moment and have just seen this thread.

 

I thought that supras were quicker than that.

 

I was thinking about getting a non turbo......what do they do qtr mile?

 

My present car has done a 14.6 and have 148 on the satnav.....

 

.....will a non turbo be any quicker?

14.6 in a non turbo would be an impressive time!

 

I struggled to break into the 13's with the stock exhaust.

 

My first run BPU though was in the 12s

I'd be making sure the rear camber was at zero or slightly positive as when the ass of your car sinks as you launch you want zero camber at that point for the best grip, so -1 postive might be a good idea, taking into consideration camber gain. Dont use tyres with a directional V pattern like SO2 or F1's, stick with the asymmetrical patterns and soft compound.

interesting, are you saying this to get the best out of drag strip or general use too ?
