I dont know if anyone has posted something like this before but i'm curious to know (and i'm sure the other members too) who here has timed their datto down the 1/4 mile. If so, what times did you get and with what running gear?

We might even find out who has the fastest 1200 in the club

i havent yet, itll be too slow, but upcoming grudge match between me and an 1600cc escort and a 1500cc AE85 sprinter, should be good.
anyway the old idrag 0-1600cc N/A RWD NZ champ was a dude called Dan with an A15 1200 coupe running 14.5.

My stock CA18DET 1200 Sedan did a 15.0, 98mph. Plenty of wheelspin, and crunchy changes to 2nd and 3rd.. I couldn't believe how slippery the start line is. It was heaps of fun though. This was on a University Student Budget

I think Andrew's modified CA18DET Coupe has done a 12.0 at ?116mph? at Eastern Creek.

My new 1200 should do 11's or 12's when it's finished. When?? Soon!!

Chris.

Yeah i reakon i could crack the 20second mark

My standard A12 with extractors might do the Quater in about 30 seconds

But as long as it looks good on the WAY With the tunes PUMPING

Uh. My 1200 ute with A15 i dunno. Not real quick but.

Sorry I know your after 1200 times but my rotary 1600 did 12.0 @ 219 kph on a G-tech. Should be able to get a 10 on decent track and slicks. Will find out soon!

The Lime green 2-dr sedan in the Photo Album did 13.9 in the 1/4. Not bad for a street-legal road car -- but then Texas cars are the fastest o' course.

Compare that to a stock 1200 Coupe: 1/4 mile: 19.6 secs @ 67 mph. Hang on!

The guy who taught me 'bout datto's ran a 12.7 with an A/15 on the 1/4 Mile at 198Km/h. That ute had turbo and nitrous on it with a modified lock diff. Me I could only master a 15.1 with the turbo.

My datto with a 1200 engine ran 15.2 with turbos thats with standard carby, points and a the rest of the drive line is stock, even down to the 3.9 single spinner diff
