850bhp to the wheels and he's running an OEM gearbox?! Thats impressive!

To be honest with you I really don't think that's what he meant as monks views on really high powered fwd motors are pretty negative.....
And his quarter mile time isn't tv best at that power but imagine a rolling start take off. The power of that thing would rip a new arse hole to pretty much everything.

Let me put it this way...
What would a RWD vehicle of a similar weight and power run down a 1/4 mile? A fuckload faster than and FWD car would, that's for sure.
I can understand that it has been modified to a purpose (and done to a high standard at that), but that amount of power in something as light as a Starlet and FWD is a massive waste. I bet it wheelspins all the way up the drag strip.

But still hits at least 10's which is veyron terratory.
Some people get satisfaction out of achieving in a FWD car because they know it's a task and a half... I just wouldn't say it's a waste.

If you ever manage to make a drag machine like that and manage to keep it sticked on the floor
without piss your pants once in every gear change then buy also a drag strip and drive it all the day up and down. Chris

It has absolutely no appeal to me. I'm a fan of good old real motorsport that involves corners!
A space monkey could drive that car in a straight line. Each to their own though.

Your right, they are peoples views, but i think the way their views are being brought across are a bit harsh....
Doesnt matter, i couldnt give 2 fucks, im just saying :beer:

disclaimer ive never ever taken a car down the strip.
but its pretty clear that some people can get off the line sharpish and can feel when to change gear and when to feed the throttle in. others.... are hilarious.
if i ever try it i plan to be hilarious. lol
i think alot of the fun in drag racing, is one car against another, and if you know two cars are evenly matched then its one driver vs the other!
its a good day out and it affordable compared to trackdays and the like.(in NI)

I myself love drag racing, i also love racing around corners as fast as possible. So you can say i like every form of racing to do with cars.
And to note, not every monkey around can drag race, it does require some form of skill, just not in the level of circuit racing obviously. to get times down to a minimum is challenging especially in high powered front wheel drive car when throttle balance becomes necessary etc...

It'd be nice to see you back to the strip Harry
We're trying hard to crack into the 10s, but its very difficult. So far my friend only tried it on one event, he had 4 attempts. The best was 11.585 secs with a 0-60ft of 1.99s (very bad) and 128.9mph
This was using M/T 23s, which are now completely shaved so will be putting on MH 24s. Perhaps its got too much power, even with a launch control its hesitating to get off the line as quick as it used to.
I hope one day we will manage a 60ft of 1.6secs like yours when you managed 11.2! It involves a lot of experimentation.

I'd class it as common sense really!

The amount of money and blood spent on my own car, I could have probably made a car like that. I'm sure most people here could or have spent an equivalent, fabrication of components is far more expensive here.
As above, you can achieve those times with far less than 850bhp, thats common sense also.
i have one ..
im the owner and builder of the white glanza from denmark at www.rambeyracing.com.
this year , has just been testing the ride , i have had alot of probs with the gear box ( shifting gears quick enough )
