your looking at it,also if you work it out it turns out to be a high 6.20,low 6.30 if it runs the qtr......rumours have it gas builds the 2jz engines and send them to the states,but there only rumours until confirmed.

I think people think its easy to go from running 1/8 to 1/4 mile racing. Keep in mind the cars are made light as hell, and you'll find they probably go as quick with a small tire as they do with a big one. Because they can turn the tire, they can be a lot more aggressive on the clutch, they effectively use the tire as a form of clutch slip. They also have shorter diff gears, they don't need to do 220mph remember. So take this light car, put taller gears in it, a sticky tire, and an engine tune up that has only been used to a fair amount less load for shorter periods of time, and all of a sudden you have a completely different ball game. Take a look at Jamboree. Titan have raced probably 40 times a year for a number of years, and including private testing didn't come close to the locals at jamboree, torching 3 cylinder heads in the process. Before someone jumps up and down, I am not bagging the guys in the slightest, I'm trying to demonstate that even the best racers, and 2j experts in the world can't easily step over to the 1/4 and take that same performance with them ****in crazy pass all the same!! 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Size isn't everything, or so the saying goes The fastest car in the sport compact world only runs a 91 6BOOST Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
