Seriously though getting in to the 13's N/A won't be easy. Light wheels, slicks ,NOS, light flywheel, different final drive, all of the bolt ons(intake, header, exhaust, test pipe, underdriven pullies, short shifter), tuning, tuning, more tuning and extensive weight reduction and maybe you'll be able to do it.........maybe

Ask Charles R Hill

I think you can do a 13.9 with nitrous.

You will have to remove everything in the car. Seats radio glove box etc.

Dude, You've been making these kind of thread for the past 3 days.

a Simple Search can get u the answer within like 10 seconds. Is it really that hard to do so ?

He asked the same question in another post.

ya.. u and ur forum troll postings...

ya u can run 13's.. take off everything down to the metal, strap a sparco seat, light wheels, light grip tires(warmed up), 1/4 gas tank, no unecessary fluids. all bolt ons, CF parts on everything, loose weight, ECU tuning. i am talking out of my *** but i am sure if u do all these perhaps u can make it? XD

go down the hill, with a straight road, you will be able to make it low 13's...for a 1/4 miles (stock engine), otherwise, go for FI or NOS, that's what i have read in this forum....

Put a 55 shot Zex nitrous kit in and you will be in the 13's. Or strap every NA mod out there and you will still be running in the 14's.

I don't think it'd be impossible if they're running 14.5sec stock. High-flow panel filter, no cat and a Cobb AP, should get you .6sec, i don't know about drag racing though really. That mod combo, the Triple Threat, can add up to 15hp.

15hp isn't worth .6 seconds?

15hp is what MazdaManiac is claiming can be achieved.
