I got a 14.1 in my friends stock vr4. It is supposed to run 13.9 and this was only the second time I drove it and the only time I pushed it. Thats w/in 10% right? Wheres my $20? j/k

I do see what your saying but thats pretty unreasonable...to have a car that should be running mid 16s stock and mod it and have it half a second slower than the stock time. If he dropped his 60' time some he could get down to stock time but thats still too slow to me.

The $20 is for an FC.&nbsp Anyone can dump a clutch in an AWD car.

I got a 14.6 the first time I ran my TII at the track. My best run was a 14.12, 3 runs later. Even that small amount of practice made a big difference.

I ran a 13.8 in my stock coupe with just some fat tires in the back.

I hope to be able to run at least a low 15 in this 86 rx7 I bought though.
