Fastest cheapest tuneable 1/4 mile car?????

[Mark300zx]

So my initial thoughts are a scooby or Evo, are they any other faster 1/4 mile cars available so cheaply?????

Mr2 turbo

Completely depends on your target time and definition of cheap.

Was recently discussed.

A Scooby / Evo are no where near the best cars

4WD isn't a help considering it's weight, power wastage and the fact with decent tyres / power the front wheels are barely touching the floor

Sub £10k 400-500+bhp
Supra Turbo
Yank V8

Supra
Skyline - not the gtr but the (GTT?) with the rb25dett and rwd
300zx twin turbo


Pretty much something rwd and jap

I'd be looking at something huge, powerful and heavy, such as a Merc 600 or similar, and then removing all those weighty items like electric seats, carpets, window motors, etc. Probably go like a rocket when stripped bare.

Stripped 200sx/r33 skyline with a ropey body and a good bit of engine work done.

Can't see too much cheaper.

90's Camaro with a ls1 would also be cheap to mod and get really big power out of.

If you don't set a budget, there can be no real comparison.

Already has uprated turbos apparantly.

Faster than a Mr2 i reckon.

MR2 Turbos frequently post the fastest 0-60 foot times as they're so easy to launch with all the weight over the rear. Standard they can cover the 1/4 mile in 13.5 seconds in the right hands.

Best Motoring pitted the MR2 Turbo against a number of rivals over the 1/4 mile

I've owned standard Mr2 turbo's, RX-7's (turbo ll and fd3's) and 300zx twin turbo's, the MR2 was the slowest though.

They're all easy to mod by decatting, increasing boost and a remap to chuck in more fuel.

I modded all of them and ran them at 1 bar of boost, the MR2 was still the slowest though. The RX-7 and 300zx were quite ferocious at 1 bar (some people go higher but that requires much more time and money - 1 bar is simple) and the standing 1/4 mile time was 120 @ 13 secs on the 300zx (short wheel base model) and 13.5 on the RX-7. But the RX-7 was the most fun, handled like a go cart and stopped on a sixpence
