    Default How much have you improved your 1/4mi time?

    0.8 seconds for me.

    stock and 1st time out I did something like 17.7

    w/ a short intake and Solo shifter I did 16.99, then w/ my exhaust and winter tires off and summers on, I did 16.89 w/ a 2.40 60'.
    Full interior - spare - subs.

    So mods and time improvment w/ each?

    I took the MR2 this last summer completely stock and pulled off a quite pathetic 17.8 now im running........i'll finish that sentence in the spring ...the car is not exactly meant for drag racing though, solo2 should be fun this year.hope to get lots of practice on the twisties.
