I reckon you'll be well in the 11s with that power in a classic, but it will depend on your launch and 60ft times.

My friend's '98 STI Type R ran a 13.3 on his first ever drag race which was at the pod. That was with it completely standard. You should see well into the 12s maybe late 11s like the guys have already said above.

I took home a shameful 14.01 in my '03 WRX with about 250bhp, now running 297bhp/310lbs/ft but sadly won't be racing this year.

A mate in his hawk sti managed a 12.0 last year running 330/380 so you should get into the 11's with the extra bhp.

If your going for a quick time then you've got to be brutal off the line

You should get at least low 12's with that power.

I am going for the weekend and running mine up the pod on the Saturday. Will look out for you on the Sunday

WRX RA 1.1bar on a TD05 16g

12.7sec @ 104mph

60ft 1.733

My time slip for any doubters



Also I side step the clutch a 6000rpm on the launch

You should run mid to high 11's fella damping settings on coilovers make a big difference on the launch play about with it if you can

Make sure you take a crash lid with you as over 110mph you have to have one.

Don't know how people manage these times, I could only do a 14.1 in my 330bhp classic.

I did break the gearbox on launch and havent been back, but WTH!!






Sorry, been a long night shift.

I would take some of these times with a pinch of salt, track conditions play a huge part.
I ran my 400+ classic there earlier this year and managed a 12.7. Wheel spin in 1st and 2nd (2.3sec 60ft)

Your're ok until you actually run over 110 then the marshall will wave you over at the end of that run and tell you can't run again without a helmet.
With your power I would make provision for it.

Tyres play a big part too.

Tip for launching, when sitting on the line and the engine revs are up, ride the clutch slightly while holding the car still on the handbrake.
When the lights go green drop the wand and mash the gas
That way you load the transmission, and its a bit less harsh on it

Good luck

Track conditions are obviously important, but you can't take that into account when estimating possible performance in general terms.
If you had hit a 1.6 60ft and had a clean run in second you would have been in the 11s.

Yep I'm sure that's possible.
But Jorge Neves is just a pseudonym for a well know Subaru personality.
