Me neither............but in about 1992/93 I put my FJ 1200 Yamaha through ..............on a "Run what ya brung day"......I wanted to get it into the ten second bracket....but could'nt. :'( :'(
It did a best of about 11.2....at 121mph if memory serves.

Piss poor ...I know.....but it only had a measly 125 BHP. :y :y

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

Compared to what??




Like I said.....no way with those two figures alone could you make anything other than a poorly informed guess. For willy waving purposes only.
I would say take it to the strip itself, but see previous comment :y

From last years PVS, 2.5 V6 Vectras were doing high 15's, 328/ 325 BMW's were low 15's, Monaro's without the blower high 13's/ low 14's, VXR8's with the Wortec blower were low 13's iirc.

The only Omegas i saw were a very sick V8 that took about 5mins and PaulW's as above.

My guess on a good day a 3ltr auto will get around mid 15's, thats based on 'on road' experience 'against' a couple of the above
