quater mile times

Does anyone know What the fastest quater mile time for a 300 series car is? I need some targets to beat, doesnt have to be U.K, anyone?

the 300power website is probably best for that - some of the videos those guys produce look seriously fast - i'd be guessing at sub-12..

B200K: 18.7 @ 71 (Me)
B200E: 18.4 @ 74 (SteveP)

That red 360 turbo belonging to the guy from 300Power is FAST....must be in the 13s at least. It beat a Mistubishi 3000GTO VR-4 (which itself may not have been stock), so take a guestimate from there.

That red 300-series car from 300-power has only 300-series chassis, 240-rearaxle, B234 turbo engine, I'm not sure what gearbox, maybe M90 as it is quite strong.

Heavily modded car anyway, reminds me from those 1/4-mile dragster cars, they look a bit like original but that's about it, was those called Funny cars or what they were?

But that is only way to make 300-serie car to go insanely fast, stock parts just aren't enough, some say that 200-250hp (and 300nm of torque?) is limit for gearbox/driveline/differential, could be so. Of course it can take much more temporarily, but for everyday use there has to be something left

My intention is to build car that looks pretty much like a stock from outside but goes like a animal, maybe someday, now I can just dream about it.

Kev Strong is running a claimed 300+ bhp, but he is gentle with it - rolling starts, etc. I thought the red 360 had a mustang 9" rear end / drivetrain? Also, in the video, it's an 8v....so it'll be faster still now.

Could be 9" by now, when I saw build pics, it was rear axle from 240 or 740 'sm14', cant remember now.

Insane machines anyhow

My 109 rearwheel HPs seem quite small amount compared to those cars
