SUPERCHARGED CRX 245 wheel horsepower

What would you say a Supercharged crx putting 245 whp and around 180 torque could do in the 1/4 mile?

20 seconds ....

or maybe 25 ... depends on how slow the dude wants to go down the track...

personally i say find a place with turns .. it's less stressful on the engine..

haha ya...I think he meant b16a...anyway..mid 13's to high 13's on street tires cause you will never get traction..with a slick low 13's...you will never be able to lunch that thing good...turbo with a big turbo with enough lag so dont' spin the tires all the time and have hard top end power will be better for 1/4...but this is all talk..the only way to knwo it to do it and find out...

I just don't understand the point of drag race.... what's the point of being able to run the 1/4 mile in 13s or what ever time...
if you can't turn or stop it's useless

Theres a very big point. Dont get into this thing where it takes no skill to drag race. You get behind the wheel of Paul's 8 second rocket and you tell me how much skill is involved.

excuse me buddy. it does take skill to race. see the fool in one of the videos hitting 2nd gear instead of 4
well you have to be perfect
have you sat in or stood next to an 8 second car
its not as smooth a ride as you think.. the wheels have so little pressure that at the end of the 1/4 mile is where most of your driving skills come to play.. the whole car needs to be stabalized. if it didn't require skills then the world wouldn't call it a sport.

just to show you your ignorance!
