I think you are aiming a bit beyond what a high torque front wheel drive car can achieve. Even a 450hp 9000 can only manage 13s.

For low 14s, apart from engine mods, try losing some weight from the rear of the car, wider stickier tyres, lower/harder suspension and a limited slip diff.
*cough* 9000 2,0L here with T3/T4 run 12.2 sec ;) (maybe it is the gas or the air pressior here even this saab use 95 RON) , he is in hard fight with STi ;) hehe , WRX is losing fight against 9000 saab :cheesy:

people dont belive any thing with out these :roll:


p.s. this saab own speed record in this touriment ;) hehe but Sti own icelandic record in this touriment (high 11 or was it ultra low 12 sec) well it dont matter soon because he is more tune this year.

photo of 9000 saab sure.. i quess people want to see it:


p.s. this 9000 aint mine! and quess what owner of subaru still dont belive that that sti run low 12 sec 1/4 mile (well dont remember the time of it because site is down that keep the records)
