The car is no slouch by anymeans←I don't doubt it's a quick car. My main point is how quick was it during that run. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested to know as I have one for a track car. That is in the process of a rebuild. I gather it was turbo. Who built the motor, wasn't a guy called Dave Homer by any chance?

I know which car I would prefer to drive and it is not the swift... just my 2c...but no reason as to why you wouldn't got for a dyno run if you want to.cheers, Ben.

It's one freakin quick Swift though so y'all just accept it and get over it.Second, I don't care how fast the Suzuki is, you wouldn't catch me dead in one.Third, they're both a couple of cork heads in the first place.

I beleive that the car has also run a little quicker useing slicks. The above times are under the rules of the High Performance Imports Drag records (must use street legal tyres).
