Whats your best time in your GSL-SE?
Whats your best time in your GSL-SE?
Last summer after i installed a Racing Beat 4-puck sprung hub street/race clutch with pressure plate me and my dad and our friends decided to take it to the track along with a few other of our rotaries that we had.
My stock GSL-SE with a K&N filter, Racing Beat header, no cats and straight pipe, along with 20psi of tire pressure netted me a 15.75 at 86mph. i later on i should have the time slip scanned and posted.
My friends has a race prepped toyota starlet with a turbo 12A wheelie bar, roll cage, tubbed, turbo size looks like a t78 from turbonetics, microtech, raceport, and some other things and he ran a best of 10.01 140mph, that run was also the cause of his brand new ford 9 in rear end to crack the pinion and cover. and thats with no dyno tuning.

While we are on the subject. I had a completely stock (and in crappy shape. The exhaust was being held on by wire) '81 GSL with carb problems, chewed up LSD, and not to mention other issues that pulled 17.1@78mph (Its in Utah so that could be any where from 15.5- 16.5 at sea level.) which I was very impressed with seeing as how the car was seriously messed up. But I'll be looking to pull low 13s with the new motor. Anyways I've always wanted to race a GSL-SE in my FC.

According to Mazda in its 1984 press release, the performance of the GSL-SE was standing 1/4 mile 16.1 seconds trap speed 85mph. In top tune with a good driver a stock SE could get a 1/4 time of 15.9.
To get anything less requires numerous bolt-on goodies, perhaps around 15.3- 15.4 seconds with everything known to Mazdatrix.
Certainly to get below 15 seconds the engine has to be ported, and anything under 14 seconds would require a set-up unlikely to pass noise/pollution standards in most states. Of course there may be a rare exception, after all they recently made a lead ballon fly!
Going turbo is of course different as you can go as fast as you can spend money, but I doubt even Bill Gates could buy a street legal stock interior SE which would usually break 11 seconds for the 1/4 mile.

You could at least actually go to the track and run it before you make these claims.
anyway...

just say DO YOU NEED VIAGRA.
My answer is no. Its the other way around. I need a pill to make it soft instead of being alert 24/7.
