What did you guys find so hard about launching an AWD car? And what car was it? I drove a stock VR4 and it was pretty damn easy to launch. I don't find rwd to be too hard(not saying I'm an expert or anything) either.
Well you can look at my sig for the car I normally Launch I think all cars are hard to launch if you dont know what you are doing, it may be easier to get decent times from an awd car than a rwd car but to get it down to a science 1.6 60ft's on street tires that is something else thanks for the apologie I am serious about working on these cars, I do all my own work and I get paid to work on other 3/s's (3000gt/stealths) I drive all of my customers cars also so I have driven a bunch of different 3/s's I will continue to look for the actual copy of the 13 sec timeslip but I can garuntee that it is completely stock, the only thing that is modified is no spare tire or jack.

No matter what its hard to see an AWD car go that much faster than what the usual is. I won't say I don't believe it but to completely believe it I'd want to see it, ya know?

About the apology, I got no problem admitting I'm wrong. But I would have to SEE the run to believe it 100% Or at least see a run below 13.9 stock.

Yea I understand I couldnt believe it either, it is pretty amazing, some kind of factory freak I admit not all 3/s's with a good driver are capable of it I am just saying it has been recorded. I think there are a couple completely stock cars that run lower than 13.9 but most people that go to the track mod their cars, or most people good enough of drivers to turn in good times mod their cars so not a lot of stock timeslips. But on the flip side the worlds fastest no nos stealth only runs 10.7-10.8 can't remember exactley and fastest no nos 3kgt is only high 10's if that maybe only low 11's, and fastest 3/s nos run was like 10.7 I believe but that run was made in '99 or so whenever it was, a long time ago. But all of these cars are also daily driven or at least capable of daily drivers with not much heartache, unlike most built japanese supercars, I know I personally wouldn't drive a high hp supra the dyno curves are insane, by the time the power kicks in you wont know what to do with yourself.

towards the end of the page, has a video as well but I dont think the video is of the 13.08 second run but of a 13.1 run still very impressive from a stock car

IMO if your 6 ports work don't remove them. Some people don't agree though.

To post a pic you have to link it to your sig. You can edit it in your control panel. Then just click on "show sig" when replying to a post.

My mods are:
Bonez Race Pipe
Racing Beat catback
Cone filter

I have drove and read about VR4 and Stealth TT and they WILL NOT DO 13 FLAT!!!. I dont care what you saw with your own eyes. the tac was off or something. Look , their 300-320 hp cars at 3800 lbs 20 percent drivetrain loss. At best they will do 13.8 because thats what Not only car stats says but the 3si forum as well. And when I drove one it wasnt that fast. I hope I settled this dispute. Some will not believe me but all well think whatever you want

Swiva? I will take it to a track soon. Hoping for mid 14s. My goal is low 14s soon. I can hange with a 3000VR4 from a roll. In fact 4th gear at 5.5k-8 rpms at night im dead even or close

3si forum as well.
maybe you should look at the link before spouting, that cars is backed by 3si. and it wasnt one 12.08 run it was backed by a 13.1 run and lots of other runs that were better than 13.8
