| Hey guys, just inquiring as to what times your turbo soarers have run down the 1/4mile. I'm prepping my car this year to run at the nightspeed drag wars in the dyo racing. mods will be simple large transcooler large fmic b&m launch control turbosmart e-boost 3inch cat back trans & boost gauges any ideas of what times ill be running? and would be cool if some others with soarers were racing, watching evo after evo gets boring ! |

| Hey warren, i saw one last year do a mid 15 pass, it was totally standard so not to bad considering that soarers are what they are. |

| mines the fastest in the country in terms of timeslip, warren. sure there are soarers with big power but they dont come to the drags. my best is a 12.4sec. you can view my mods in my profile. i will be at the drags on the 15th at meremere. i think you will run low 13s,but do tell us about this launch control-sounds handy. 027 414 8846. |

| Blake - thats quick for such a heavy car!! i was thinking of a high 13 pass with my planned mods. Launch control is a brake line locker you can control by a button mounted inside your vehicle. It basically holds the brakes on, can be used on front or rear. Watch this video, the guy has one in his soarer. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/55ac8b54-6b0c-4c4d-8a25-984300da7dd6.htm |

A TT Soarer is not that heavy, Less than 1.5 Tonne, Blake's would easily be as had a fair bit taken out to loose some weight. Look at Jag/Merc and Aston coupes they are quite heavy at 1700-2100kg yet can do 12-13's! |
