My son and I were at the NHRA drags at SIR (it will always be SIR) Sunday. After seeing cars running in an 11.9 second breakout bracket we both thought

1) if they say a stock can run low 14's, wouldn't a supercharged one get close to that 11.9 number?

2) How funny would that be to see an S2K on the line opposite a Detroit big block?

They must have rules prohibiting this, cause I'm sure lots of ricers could run those kinds of times, but there wasn't a foreign car to be found. Still, the mental picture of my little black S out there cracks me up. Tony

 

My 350 rwhp S2000 should be good for an 11.9 if:


1. I had a shorter gearset, like, 4.77
2. I had slicks such as ET streets
3. I launched above 6k rpm
4. If I was power shifting
5. Nothing broke

 

I got kicked out for running sub 14's w/o an NHRA approved roll bar

 

Wait till BOTI (battle of the imports). That is when you will see the fast imports come out. August 27th if memory serves.

 

Torque = Low ET's

 

No, HP/weight = low ET's
