You should be able to break into the 11's if you can drive just right, I'd look for consistent mid to low 12s.

Depends how much lightening has been done. Clearly a lighter car will beat a heavier car with the same amount of horsepower.

my car weighed 2720 with no floor carpet, no storage bins, and no spare/jack. so with the carpet and bins in i'd say its at about 2800-2820

mine weighs about 2520 lbs right now as it sits but mine is also prolly only 130-140 whp n/a , reason for being so low is no exhaust or fuel controller setup, not to mention im working on working out some bugs in the system now

edit - that is with no ac, ps, emissions, acv, airpump, bac, front speakers, rear speakers , coldstart, nothing in rear (storage bins, spare, jack, speakers mat etc), no passenger seat, no front rug or mats etc

with Slicks you would crack the 11's, well thats what I would expect.

Stock tyres id think would be in the 12's

mid-low 12's is what i'm looking for. 93 octane and street tires. but hey, my street tires got me a 1.98 60ft at the track! not TOO bad. in my 91 i got a 1.8 60ft on my street tires, jrat style.

yeah, but he knows power, he is saying 350 whp.
he wants to know 1/4 mile. who cares about trap speed, i have seen slower cars beat much faster ones just because they could launch better, and get a better 60'.

i can't say i have much experience with this stuff, but you should be looking at consistent mid 12s with good street tires, assuming your drivetrain is handling the power fine. this is based purely on power to weight ratio.

if you are going with some rediculous rubber, like MT drag slicks, then around a 12 flat you could probably get. not quite sure though if those slicks are very friendly to the stock drivetrain doing 6k clutch drops...

11s i think would be a little tricky to get into, but who knows.
