There's another guy on there who's never been to track in his life getting 14.0's. I had no idea!

they dont realloy have much (if any really) more power than us.... but

RWD >>>>>>>>> FWD

He got a 1.9s 60' with out even trying... you realize a lot of guys with our cars can't do that with DR's right?

Only trapped at 96mph.

RWD + Suspension...IIRC, they are also about 50/50 weight distribution...

I didn't read the thread, but I think that the automatic Redlines will do it even faster than that . . . I drove a Sky Redline a few months back, and it's definitely fast, but you shift not once but TWICE before you get to 60, the automatic takes that second shift out of things as well as keeps the turbo loaded. So if that 13.8 was a manual, think faster for the auto.

It was auto. Seriously, RWD + auto FTW in drag racing. IONs are so not meant for the quarter.

Sky's have awesome-ish torque management. Their boost is limited in 1st and second, and w/ the lag of the turbo, it gives it a good chance to hook up and get rolling before the power really comes on. Unlike our Insta-Torque which I really love so much better!

Ions are not ment for the quarter!?

then what are they made for?

Like most tupperware, you use the Ion for storing things like pots and pans for when you don't really need them. You can also put canned or bagged dry goods in it for camping. Other than that, there's really not much you can do with it. I suppose you could *drive* it, but that's crazy.
