Default Very Generally Speaking...

Let say you have a 2200lb FWD car with a 5 speed, and it's capible of *breaking the 205/50 15's *loose in 3rd, (clean pavment) could that have the potential to be a 13 sec car?

Sorry track's are closed this time of year. And a buddy has the G-tec.

yeah, I know it's a question that does'nt really have a answer unless I go to the track and find out...but generally speaking?

Edit:
*Break loose= To be in 3rd gear with the clutch fully engaged, then drive untill the RPM's reach 3500 RPM's where the boost builds, and as boost comes on the front tires then loose traction untill gas pedal is lifted.

Tires are in like new condition.

any car has the potential to be a 13sec car...

go to the track and find out or race a car that you know how fast it is and go from there.

yeah i think it can be a mid to high 13 sec. car. unless the tires are completely worn out. the gtech
pro is accurate but it doesn't count the reaction time because it starts countdown after the car begins to move.

the reaction time isnt a part of the ET anyway
yeah what does reaction time have to do with it


Anyways on topic, capable of 13 sec, maybe, but keep this in mind, I had a 91 Civic hatch with a A6 block in there that would chirp in third, and there was NO way that was a 13 second car.

Well, I dont mean chirp, I mean the boost comes on and the steering wheel goes in all directions while the front tires are fighting back and forth.
