hypothetical question

I you havea car that weighs 2700 lbs with 135 hp @5400 rpm and 145 ft/lbs @4400 rpm, what would you guess the 1/4 mile would be? BTW, its a 93 MR2 of my friends. I was just hoping you guys could help him out a little. Thanks

It will probably hit low 16's if he can drive it, they have good weight over the drive tires and the powerband isnt too bad. Bogging on the line will be the real killer for him.
