Quarter Mile Times?

[TriumphGT6]

I was wondering what 1/4 mile times are you guys gettign with your cars? Here's what I'm getting:

1973 Triumph GT6 MKIII - Mildly modified from 105BHP to 125RWHP. Runs low 14's in the 1/4 mile vs stock it ran mid 17's.

1973 Honda ST90 - Not going to run a 90CC dirtbike in the 1/4 mile...I think it would get high twenties, low thirties, like a civic. It's a great little bike though.

1991 Lincoln Town Car - It runs like new, modified when rebuilt (former owner spun main bearing, 85yo who was a mechanic, couldn't hear the noise.), now runs low 15's but still gets it's EPA 19/24mpg on regular.

1997 Dodge Neon SOHC - My dad's car, used to be mine, but he wanted a gas miser to replace his pickup and loved the neon. Head gasket replaced when bought with 62,000 for $400. Great car, 135HP 5sp, it runs low to mid 16's and is bone stock. gets about 33mpg overall.

1996 Saturn SL1 - My mom's current car, to be replaced when I trade her the Camry for Christmas. This car has been problem free since rebuilt, but it only has 100BHP. Gets 30 mpg. This is the stock reported 1/4 mile time is 17.2S.

Those are our times what are yours? Remember, this is all in fun no flaming!

at least put forth an attempt to post in the correct forum.. then you wont have to worry about flaming.

Also, at the top of the webpage (in the navigation bar) you will notice a 1/4 mile database.. this includes our quarter mile times.

I'de tell ya, Triumph.

But I'm at work right now, and I would have to go home to pick up the bench I use for racing.

^^made in 73 and light weight??? very doubtful

Have you seen a Triumph? I'd hate to be in one in an accident with a motorcycle. The bike would probably be in better shape than the Triumph. They are that flimsy/light. I've driven a TR6 of that same vintage and it moved. A Triumph is basically a chassis with just enough of a body on it to classify it as a street legal car.

triumph are bery small, you actually sit about 2 inches from the ground. small and nearly weightless. Apparently they produced a supercharger for the triumphs (my ex-boss owns one) and they are pretty quick. Theyre british...? (correct me if im wrong)
