I am totally impressed with this little car. I had wondered if it would have beaten my little S-10 and without a doubt it would have. Click on this link if you want to see the timeslips? I also dynoed the car in April in 3rd gear, Click here to see results.
In 2004, I put some 17" GT rims on the car. It looks great and I got a great deal on the setup. Picture 1 Picture 2
My best run in 2002 is what I have listed above. I removed the spare tire & jack, have been running 87 octane since last year and removed the air silencer. I believe that I could have gotten an easy 15.1X pass. The next run after my best ET run was a 15.364@90.92 MPH with a 2.383 60' vs. my 15.358@89.47 MPH with a 2.227 60'. That difference in the 60' would have at least gotten my ET down .2 seconds in the 1/4. Maybe next time. Something I forgot to mention, these runs were on snow tires, the car is quicker with radials, so I will keep this updated as soon as I get a new run in with the radials.
My best run in 2001 was a 15.372@90.49 MPH with a 60' 2.293. On the best run I had around 63 lbs of crap in the car also.I weighed the spare tire and jack and total weight was 31 lbs. That is almost 100 lbs of crap not needed that I was running and at the time I was running 89 octane also.
