Buy my galant and you'll run 12.50's :P

12's are not as easy as a motor swap, and turbo. Good luck with life if you think that is all it takes

Yup... take it from the guy who's running 12.50 w/ 400 whp...

If you're on a budget and want to run in ther 12's, you're probably going to be looking at a set of vitara pistons with a decent sized turbo. Either that or an engine swap would be best.

Car weight: 2300 lbs.
Horsepower: 275 hp
Configuration: Front Wheel Drive

Results
Quarter Mile Acceleration: 12.953 seconds.
Terminal speed: 115.2964 mph.

My integra almost weighs that much and i am hoping to put 275 down the the front wheels with 10-12psi and uberdata. and if it doesnt weigh that much then we start stripping the bitch, becuase less weight = more hp.

those acceleration calculators suck though. I hate to refer to him again, but its who everyone knows with the turbo dirty d...

BBKA ran less horsepower, more weight, and a lower time (on slicks of course) so who knows.

Yeah it takes a bit more power when you don't have a stripped out tin can. Power to weight is very important yes, but it isn't my style to drive stripped out cars. Each to their own.

<---- 3600lbs with fuel

25% AWD drivetrain loss takes it's toll, too.

That, and a 16G is a puling little girl sized turbo.
