How is the Evo's 1/8th mile time compared to other cars?

 

I would imagine pretty good considering most cars without DRs or Slicks can't pull sub 1.8 second 60' s. I don't follow what is fast or slow for 1/8 mile times, but if you want a reference point last Friday my with an exhaust and boost controller got these times in the 1/8th (on the way to the 1/4).

8.451 @ 83.21
8.414 @ 83.31
8.430 @ 83.11

 

The advantage AWD gives us in the 1/4-mile is naturally amplified in the 1/8-th mile, because 2wd cars haven't yet had time to start catching us. Many powerful cars spin the tires in 1st, 2nd, and sometimes 3rd, which means they havee only just begun to get full traction shortly before the 1/8th-mile.

Here are my 05 1/8th-miles for comparison (from the runs in my sig)

8.40@80 - stock
8.17@84 - safc/k+n
7.80@88 - safc/k+n/mbc/cat-back/mr dv

To drive it home further, on my last drag run, I got a 12.24@111, and I ran against a supra on drag radials who ran 11.4@132. Despite him being 20mph faster, I beat him to the 1/8th-mile...

 

I think I'm going to hit up our 1/8th mile track soon I was running low-mid nines in my celica gts

 

Thanks this helps alot i was not aware that AWD had that great of an advantage in the short runs.

 

My buddie runs his at our local 1/8 track and he turns... 7.95... His mods are
downpipe, aftermarket bov, cat back exhaust, delete the air box, mbc, dynoflash... Spray the fmic with co2 before the launch... This is on street tires...

I have seen in the 7.8's

 

I hit 8.6 stock

 

I run consistant 7.9s and I did the same in my srt4 on slicks
