The fastest is a 1st gen RWD. It was clock at 11's. This was talked about plenty of times and pics and everything were posted along with it. Ask Sprintmax, he has all that info if you are curious to see what he did.

Don in Texas is the fastest 4th gen on paper. I know sx7r is VERY fast himself. Being a sx7r member is an honor.

Well both, I dont have many options on my car so im either going to do a all motor or a custom turbo set up. Either way I just want to get an idea on what to aim for.

Aim for 14's when you are stock and you'll be one of a select few who've done it hehe.

Don't know time

Well I don't know the time but my best run was just over 100mph. Any ideas as far as what kind of time that would be? There's a place here in my town that is approx 1/4 mi and I test my speed there. Oh yeah.... N/a, 5-spd.

Testing your speed in an "approximate 1/4 mile" is not like running a true 1/4 mile with timing beams.

Well if it's not a 1/4mi it's only off by a couple feet.

There's no way of telling without knowing what your instantaneous velocity was throughout the quarter mile. For instance, if you instantly accelerated to 100 mph and held it, then you would do a quarter mile in 9 seconds. This is highly unlikely. If you accelerated at a steady rate so that your velocity varied linearly up to 100 mph over the quarter mile, then your time would be 18 sec. Hopefully you did better than that.

I knew there was a mathmatical way to figure that out.... thanks.
