Is that a 10 second 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile? 10 second 1/4 miles are getting into serious drag car territory. I'd be very surprised if a front wheel drive Uno turbo, even with an apparent 600 bhp Croma engine, could break into the 10's on a quarter mile. They simply won't have the traction to be able to get the power down, even with an LSD. :confused:

Its a standard chassie with 205/60/13 Mh racemaster tires.
Its on the 1/4 mile.. on the 1/8 it runs 7,1sek and 179km/h (111.85mph).
It doesnt have a crappy lsd, its welded to get 100% lock.
He has been racing this car sins 2003.

theres nothing wrong with the time slip, they use the same as they use at videc at mantorp when its world champion ship with top fuel.
He`s been very close to break in to the ten second area for years.
Just do the math 229Km/h or 143mph.

Ah, so it has a welded diff - that will certainly help with traction. I assume it was built only for the drag strip as a welded diff will tear tyres apart if you take corners!

Any pics of the time slips, or videos of the car showing the billboard quarter mile time and terminal speeds at the end of a run?
