Default Turbo Koup 1/4

If you have a turbo Koup post your 1/4 times please...

I'm interested in times besides the from the tester car. I have no idea why they don't have some type of thread like with a sticky.

Oh well... searching Turbo Koup wasn't very useful for me


Thanks.

It's quite simple really... there is only a handful of people with turbo forte's, and then a smaller portion (if any) that have been to the track with their cars.

I'm guestimating a turbo 2.4 Forte with the 6MT and grippy tires would probably run around 13.5 in the 1/4. Just from experience with other cars... 0-60 would be in the mid to high 5's. Problem is that they're FWD so when you launch all of the weight comes off of the front wheels. The turbo Forte's definitely have the balls and with some sticky tires and maybe some weight adjustment they could run mid 13's consistently.

Turbo Kits seems to think the same thing as I do, lol.

I would run but the track closest to me won't let me run with an aftermarket turbo unless I have a fire extinguisher mounted with in arms reach and I don't feel like drilling holes in my A pillar.....über gay!!!!!

Just whip out the snake and tell them "I just drank 6 gallons of Mountain Dew. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
