1/4 Mile Time In A Manual

[O2STOCK]

Let us know what day shane if you want a chear squad

[bcl]

Fastest manual sedan was a Nizpro kitted car (F6), with 12.0, around September 2005. I'm pretty sure it ran MT's.

Shane, I think you'll be really struggling for traction, which will kill a good time.

T56? Actually, did a typhoon even come in a T5? I think they released them after the T5 was scrapped.

Yeah I believe the typhoon was released with the T56. That is when they were having all their problems with the clutch.

[F6 UTE]

there are 5 or 6 manual sedans that I know or that have the power to run high 10`s low 11`s they have just chosen not to set there car up for the strip as a time is not that important to them.

Lets not go there.. 'Setup' as far as I am concerned is bolting tyres on and racing.

Power won't equal fast times alone, and this thread is proof of that. CV's are one factor, the fact it is actually difficult in a stick shift is the other..

Plenty of cars have power, and plenty of auto cars with power ( ie LOTS ) have tried to run quicker than 9.98 aswell. It just aint as simple as that..

There are CV's in the country now so I wouldn't expect it to take too long for the likes of Xtreme to venture to the track with half a megawatt at the wheels. This will result in fast times alone, providing it doesn't snap an input shaft or leave the diff at the line

Shane, good luck with a street trim manual 11. I myself will be trying that in the not too distant future..

Tweakn - try coil bind in a ute. 3rd gear - spearing sideways with sticky tyres We aint got it all easy

Gavin.K - It is harder to get the manual down, the fact that 3 utes have done it just means that real men drive utes All the quickest auto's are sedans, waddas that tell ya!!!!

[Gavin.K]

F6 Ute,

This is what I was trying to say that it is hard to get a manual down the strip in comparison to te auto and the sedans would be better than the utes. I am not having a go at the ute guys I think that would be a little strange for me to do that myself.....

[F6 RAPID]

Yep, I do believe traction may be an issue Brian however, the car's power seems more useable now than it ever has. These 20" wheels I have account for 60rwhp alone - dyno proven! But this coupled with a higher rev limit and the car's ability to make power up top should send it through the traps in 4th at a decent clip.

It will be difficult Ben, I agree. But I ran my 12.3 on the factory tyres and 355rwkw's with no traction then really either. Surely it can be done.........no pressure! I might even throw a baby seat in for good measure!

its a pity they dont have rolling starts for monsters such as yours
