Your N/A Quarter Mile Times

What's your fastest quarter mile times (N/A only)? I know they're not meant to go in a straight line but I was just curious.

I know your wanting actual times, but it will vary between 14.5(very good) and 15+ seconds depending on the driver.

Quarter mile is a poor measure of true performance. It is so drastically affected by the launch, tires, etc.

Some cars will have really good 1/4 mile times but not so amazing trap speeds....AWD cars, like evos will literally fly off the line and beat some cars that would have taken them if they raced from a roll.

I think 14.9 is what car and driver lists for the R3.

I think people are failing to realize that the OP didn't specify "RX-8s".

Feel free to post your time slips as long as A) you were driving, and B) it is naturally aspirated


<< : wink : : )
