if 180bhp is on a stock Ct9 i recon you should be getting low 14s maybe a high 13 if your very lucky. All depends on the driver and conditions though on the day.

Hmm thats quite disappointing is it not?
My brother got 17.7 in his non turbo Starlet Sportif in the wet and that was at York too!

who ever is saying low 15's you guys cant know much about your own cars or how drive them.....
A 180hp starbo will happily hit low to mid 14's with that power. I would expect very low 14 if not a nice high 13...... Traction isnt a huge issue with 180hp.... And if you think it is, you havent experienced proper power through the front wheels.... 180hp is a great compromise.... power/grip.....

i ran constant 14.7's with just exhuast system and stripped rear interior
then i ran a 14.4 with slightly more boost. that was ct9 days anyway
not all of us are gods of the strip though
i couldn't get mine off the line properly and also left all my ice in :homer:hoping to do better next time

Bit of a bold statement.
As ive said before, there are to many variables to take into account.

i agree. sounds like a 1st timer up the 1/4 mile strip too so low 15s is reasonable tbh.

Rory im talking about the potential of the car providing conditions allow.. All you really need is a decent hot day to grip the tires.. Other variables shouldnt effect dramatically providing your car is holding its power like normal....
And obviously providing you drive the car how it should be driven...
You have to remember when people ask this question they want to know how fast their car can potentially go up the strip. Not what there car would do if the driver cant drive,wet conditions,poor surface,car underpowered etc etc.
Thats my view.

no i dont think its disapointing.
Jules did that time against me my best was 16.3 standard. Cant wait go back with the mods now and see the difference. Need to get the autos 60ft time down though its shocking (2.8)
Also 1.5sec may seem alot in speech but knocking that off a time up the strip will take work. and with the starlets running these times 'stock' then things will only improve
i dont think any of us can guess just go and do a run!
