fastest fwd?

[dolf]

Anyone know what the fastest road legal fwd car is???


www.fastestfwdstreetcars.com

found this web page - old civics running 11.02 for 1/4 mile is pretty quick.

not sure whether they're road legal though.

Do you mean as standard or modified?

 

[dolf]

modified, definately

For fast VAG cars running road legal rubber the Performance VW mag hall of fame has some impressive cars listed in the back.

Are we talking road legal... ie mot and tax but run slicks on the 1/4, or run treads?

 

[dolf]

ooww??. Lets say road legal but running slicks for the track.

 

[Jonzy]

I know the atc/ih nova ran a 11.344 back in early 2004, on slicks, and im sure that another car has run a 11.2 thats road legal. Cant remeber what the car is though.

ANR has run a 10.8@140 which is currently the fastest uk fwd, not road legal, an took his time to get there!

I saw some stupid 2.4 converted 550bhp Fiat Coupe get faster than that I'm sure....

To give you an idea, Looking at an old PVW, thea reason I chose this is cos they use proper timing gear

James' at JBS Octy vRS 0-60mph 4.89 (Tyres unknown)
Bill 360ish BHP Ibiza 0-60mph 5.17 (Bills old spec car on road legal tyres IIRC)

leading the pack though is a man not on these forums James Hodson works for Jabbasport 0-60mph 4.75

James Hodson 0-100 8.72 1/4 12.63

James Hodson maybe running MT Drag tyres

Bill's new spec Ibiza will be circa 450bhp, although it's not designed for 1/4miles, it's designed to go round corners too

0-60 isnt a real indication of 1/4 times, assuming that we're basing 'fastest' on 1/4's?

If you re-read my post I listed the 1/4mile time for quickest of the three

 

[Jonzy]

Didnt see that.... mid 12's isnt mind blowing though is it?

What car is James Hodson running?

MK2 Golf 1.8T

These are times listed for interest with real cars, tested with proper timing gear.

 

[Jonzy]

So 'pod & avon dont run 'proper' timing gear?

Yeah they are fine as long as we see slips, video clips etc not chavvy kids saying

"My car ran an 11.5sec 1/4mile honest Guv "

 

[Ruddmeister]

MK4 Golf GTI not sure on Spec here or tyres, maybe worth a read

11.24/129MPH

Fastest in relation to what? Qtr mile, 0-60, 0-100, top mph??

 

[dolf]

I like to think of fastest measured in 1/4mile or 0-100mph. It's more comparable with rwd and 4wd motors unlike 0-60 times and top speed is hardly ever something we need.

 

[Ruddmeister]

What about 50-70mph times

 

[WeeJase]

what about posting this in a relevant section guys?
