the best i've ever heard is that guy from puerto rico who did 12.6

 

yeah i saw that hobie, was interesting. he had trouble getting traction even from a fast roll

 

Someone hit high 11's (I believe Lancer Gris Tourer (sp?) from PR as well) if I remember correctly. He also blew his motor. Again, way too many variables.

 

Welcome to the world of FWD. Throw in a bunch of understeer and there we are in a nutshell.

 

yeah i hate that, that is why im not going as far as i would like with mine in terms of power. i want to everntually be in the 13s but dont know if that will happen.

 

You can do that pretty easily.

 

Factor in the torque steer too

 

i want to do it on street tires tho without having to do lots of tuning and minimal money lol. want it but not willing to pay or work for it, im spoiled.

 

Torque steer is a result of loss of grip. Another factor that's virtually impossible to predict, thus reinforcing my "too many variables" statement.

 

I'll race ya to 13's.

 

haha ok, want to put some money on it? i have rrm's stage 2 coming to me very soon, and 2.5" exhaust,and a bored out fuel rail. dont know where that will put me.

 

If you want I could prolly put a little money on it. I don't think I'll be hitting a track till spring though. I was just thinkin' of it as something to have a little fun with.

 

yeah i dont think i would be able to get there with stg2 till next spring either, bc the track will close down soon. ok lets make it more interesting than money, what could we bet instead?

 

Andrew's supermod position

 

I guess what I’m curious about is I read the boards all the time and see people who have posted about all the mods they have done but there is no consistency to almost anything posted on here in terms of bang for your buck.

I guess let me just list all the mods I'm considering and I'll let you guys give me advice for what I should do.
