ULTIMATE 1/4 Mile car!
 

ok it has to be street legal (in the sence that is can't be missing half the floor plan) it cannot have nitros, and it cannot be stupid and unreasonable ie: have 8 turbo's!!!

so what would you guys have as the ultimate 1/4 mile car and what would you do to it!!

(i wonder if someone will post my fav)

vette LPE TT?

Pac Rotary Rx2,RX3,lol :twisted: ..What do you reckon of that Beaver?They are street legal.

How about a HQ with a blown 454?

Thrown in a stiff slippery diff, mild tub job (nothing non-streetable), a decent auto with the appropriate stall converter, and you've got yourself a car with enough weight to push the rubber to the road, as well as a donk with plenty of bottom end torque to get things moving nicely.

I seem to recal Street Machine Magazine build a 1/4 mile project car several years ago, and it was a HQ (or something like that). Everyone was wondering about the whole power to weight issue until the bastard ran a 10sec quarter (or something like that).

yeh thats what i was going to say, i knew if anyone would say rotory you would!!!

what about the rest of you'se.. or u don't know much about cars to contribute?

yea vette's the way to go...
u only wanna go fast in a straight line. no car motor surpasses a vette. like a ZR1 or something

My Morris Minor Tubbed with a 12a Rotary Turbo (A 13b wouldn't fit... :( )

how about a elise with 2 turbos... i dont think 2 turbos on it is unreasonable.. and the car doesnt weight anything so pumping out 300 or so hp with no weight would make it preatty quick..... of couse ill also be a conftreble car to live with, not just for racing :)

dude it can't be tubed.. it needs florplan ect.

but rotory is the way to go!

The radical, the westfield xtr, ...

but the LPE is faster!
possessed_beaver, can u let me know the specs on the car ur mentioning?

Hows about a Honda civic Bro...With 747 civic wing,Huge Cyber front spoiler,Sticker all over it,Over sized 20 inc mags and cold intake and momo gearknob,huge fart cannon.E.T 16 seconds..

i beat the momo gearknow will give u a lot of HP. :lol:

I quite like the idea of an R33 running a couple a HKS GT51's!!!!!!!!! As the exvitermini one was, but that was completely road illegal!!
There is a blue R33 or 34 on a high octane video i saw that is in newzealand i think, that thing was fuckin quick and was road legal!!!!

SHITTT that things is fucken fast!

but the sound of the rotatory engine going backwards is horrible!

yes like all rotary's it is FUCKING FAST!!!
im sure nothing beats droping the clutch at 9000 - and taking second at 14 000 :|:|*scared shitless*

to my knowlage, they oftern give bikes a good run for there money...
or flogging!

and dude, a skyline is a track car, the fastest skyline in australia atm is still only running 10's
i think the fastest wrx is running high 9's!
as for rotary's i believe it's 8's!!!
kangaroo boy will correct me :)

Keir Wilson's OS Giken RB26DETT 3L kitted R32 GT-R ran 9.74 @ 144.5mph(road tyrers)..WRX 9.13 ET @ almost 150mph(dunno the owner is),Fastest Rotary is Joe Signorelli Rx7 with 7.58 @178mph

and the corvette lingenfelter? it runs 9's right or 8's?

how about a carrera GT, its straight line and it has my fav tranny (regular 6speed manual with a CLUTCH) it mite not be the fastest or the cheapest way to go. besides it would be FUN, i love that car

One of the 8 second lingenfelters...

Id have to choose a Radical SR3 coz its quick, may only have 200 horses but weighs in at 600kg

eh im surprised noboday has mentioned the tried and tested 5 liter mustang. dirt cheap, light and can be made into a pretty quick little car with not a whole lot of money. i mean we are only talking about 1/4 mile here. not style or handling or sex appeal.
