1/8 mi: 8.290
1/8 mph: 87.27
1000 ft: 10.752
1/4 mi: 12.818
1/4 mph: 109.64
60 ft: 1.880
330 ft: 5.375
1/8 mi: 8.243
1/8 mph: 87.19
1000 ft: 10.705
1/4 mi: 12.772
1/4 mph: 109.55
The best part was whomping up on V8 cars doing it! The first 12 (12.81) came against a 300C SRT8, and it was fast at 13.26, but not fast enough!
The car was putting about 315 HP to the wheels. I didn't turn it up any further, for I just wanted to run some decent 12's and not completely overpower the street tires.
With some stickier tires and more tuning, she should be in the low 12's. Not bad for a stock engine, stock driveline (save for clutch) Sol, eh?

Product. I told him man, If you beat me in that pretty looking, under
powered car, I'll by GM cars for the rest of my life. I told him you don't
know what your messing with. I've got 330 hp under that thing, you've got
maybe 230 hp, do the math! Your no match. He told me he was and is
planning on racing me later. It was getting late and my wife heard the
whole conversation and said, NO racing! Hahahah, that would have been a
spanking. He tore out of the sub at wot and it sounding like a dying cat
being shoved through a water hose. Y'know that strained engine sound.
Didn't even hear the turbo spool up. I laughed! What a joke! But...
I did like the interior though.

Re: I just saw my first Saturn Aztec...er...Sky.
GM does offer some very meaty upgrades for their ecotec 4 engine...It that info about the Solstice running in the 12s is true then HIS interpretation of stock must mean using those GM upgrades rather than 3rd party.
I read somewhere that GM is getting up to 600 HP with stage 3+ on the ecotec.

Re: I just saw my first Saturn Aztec...er...Sky.
a stage 3 drag motor from gm is not really a stock ecotec. i think stage three maybe keeps the rods or something, but reinforces them. i'm not sure, but its faaaaaarrrrrr from stock. and that guy is still doing drugs. if it was that v8 mallet thing i would believe it.

For Wayne1992, if the shoe fits. I wasn't talking about you, shoot don't even no ya! I was talking about my neighbors buddy! And he's really not an idiot, just misguided in his career path with GM. Should have chosen DaimlerChrysler.
