with that current setup with same slicks. 11.6 maybe even the same time with a higher trap. lighter car = more power to weight= less traction

Re: hotrex scores a new car...

the hatch with the same setup would probably be bettrr for 3 to 4 tenths.

i would not go 10s on those tiny slicks. i couldnt launch hard enough

Shorter wheelbase tho :-/ .... Are you going to go with a hydro tranny conversion? that would be the best bet!

Re: hotrex scores a new car...

Nice to hear!!

I drive a 90 STD. Light as ---- y0!

Slammed with front and rear sway bars makes it feel like a go-kart.

It's going to be a night and day difference in acceleration, handling, everything from the GSR. You are going to need to swap the brakes of course, but that's cheap and easy.

Let's see some pics of this soon-to-be beast!
