Track conditions and practice make a big difference. I started the day doing 16.1's and did about 6 runs to get my best time, most were in the 15.8's though.

Does anyone know of any UK G40s running quicker than 13.1?

Or any UK FWD Polos running quicker for that matter.  :scyth:

I saw a mk2 golf at bugjam do a 10 sec quarter mile
had a 1.8 turbo in it
fastest FWD car i've seen
