I have to say from talking with Keith at Street flight he said from his many years of experience and calculations, The turbo pushing 300 hp to wheels with it hooking up solid will definitely hit lows 12's with proper shifting.
He also said that Kaiser quarter mile run was useless to judge because his car is no way going to hook up without LSD, clutch, and drag tires.
He also said when he got to strip Kaiser had already put the ice in right after a 30 minute drive in high 90's
This kept him from reaching the hp above 270 alone this was his first time to the track.
Basically I think ya'll are forgetting that these numbers will not at all represent the true potential of this car.
My friend has a Mr2 and is pushing the same numbers to the ground and is running 11's and weight is just shy of us. When I told him the numbers and the tourque curve he said there should be no reason in hell we shouldn't hit 12's with grip. And he has less torque (cobra vs SVT)
Everybodies ragging the turbo but into you ride in the car when the car hit 10psi you have to hold on to wheel and watch the tach shoot up and tell me it not worth it.
How do ya'll sit there and say this it not worth it? It will be the biggest sleeper there is and will out handle a cobra all day and carry four people comfortable.
If everyone added up the money you spend in trading in vehicles and buying new along with interest this car would still be a cheaper car with all the mods and da*n fast one at that.
Ya'll just wait till the 99 svt get out his shop with more hp than 2000 and with the proper setup everybody will want to get on the train.
