So has anyone done a 10 second 1/4 of a mile, i'm thinking about the Fast and the Furious film now.



And if so what kind of setup would you need based on an 89 (s5) turbo2? (setup meaning engine mods and handling)

actually the whole film was bs, the green elcipse didn't have a turbo irl, etc etc, And it kept up with a 3 rotor FD, in a 10 minute q-mile.

Most magazines have done features on the F&F cars and from a real world

performance standpoint theyre not more than nice show cars(ton of weight

from tv monitors and sound systems)

Just keep in mind that it was a Hollywood hyped sell, sell, sell movie and most

if not all of it was special effects.



A little advise, go to the races or just research "how to" and "tech" stuff people

put out there. And please remember: "Its not how fast you wanna go, its how much money do you have!"
