Re: Fastest Verts
Unfortunately I was only able to take mine to the track once this year, which also happened to be my first actual 1/4 run in the car after my swap. So my only time is my best time. I went 12.15 @ 116mph spinning through 1st gear and shifting like I was eating a sandwich. Should be able to knock out an 11.7 or so with practice.

Re: Fastest Verts
It's up to the track to decide what they allow. He very well could have been kicked out after that run or they may not have cared.

Re: Fastest Verts
My last engine went 11.05 @ 127.7 mph on motor
9.85 @ 140.6 with a 200 shot.
This new turbo 6 banger feels pretty mean with 10psi. I can't tell how fast though. Could be 12's..could be 10's... it should be making at LEAST 450fwhp but it could be making 500+. The tuner thinks it may be closer to 600hp based on the MAF reading 60lb/min of air at 6650rpm. Double what the stock 300hp engine reads.
Bone stock, my vert went 15.7 @ 87mph.. Haha a 75 shot took it to 14.2 @ 100

Re: Fastest Verts
Most people make cruisers out of there vert (like me) since they are structually the weakest model. They try and find a hardtop to make power with.

Re: Fastest Verts
I was under the belief that a convertible couldn't run 1/4 mile runs (NHRA rules or some such) if they were going to run sub 14 seconds without a complete roll bar? I believe your car, especially, would do sub 12's all day long, just wondering how you were able to do it; law wise. Id love to run mine when its done, but I do not want a roll bar.
My preferable alternative is to just make more power to go faster. I'd love to slap a Magnacharger or something on it.
Mine bone stock with the 305TPI ran 15.5 at I believe 86-89mph, don't remember the trap speed but I remember the ET vividly.

Re: Fastest Verts
Mine probably had you beat for slowest.... all stock with 2.73...... ohhh did i forget to mention i have 20's..... it was soooooooooo slow. the 3.73's definitely brought it back to life, but it won't win any races anytime soon.... except against my old TR7 Vert.

Re: Fastest Verts
Being at sea level is like a supercharger man! Mine is still rocking 2.73's up here too.
