Quarter Mile Times

I wanna see what times and where people are running their cars at. I recently ran my 2005 touring 8 at englishtown raceway park new jersey for a best time of 14.3. Anyone else?

all you are telling us there is that you still haven't proved to us your claimed time.

and what happened to you claiming you "only had a k&n intake and rb exhaust".. now you claim you have in addition to the prior mods a straight pipe and a cobb ap running a MM tune. those 2 alone could net you 20hp..

With those mods, yes it is MORE BELIEVABLE. Kersh has similar mods and he ran a 14.41.

With the mods you initially listed, it would be damn near impossible unless your car was a freak of nature and your driving skills were PERFECT.

if he hast he mods he listed the 2nd time its a believable time. 14.41 is only .02 away from a 14.3x

and with the mods he listed the first it would be impossible. even if he posts a slip im going to question whether its his or not. he changed up his mod list from: "intake, exaust and thats it." to blahblahblahblah.

suspicious.

even if you have a turbo, unless you show otherwise you dont have too much room to stand on.
