If any of you follow import drags at all, you know there is now a 200mph Celica running 7 flat in the 1/4.... of course its powered by a V8.



I wonder if a 13B or 20B will break these landmarks (maybe this has already happened, I dont know). To me that would be a lot more impressive than a V8 powered car. The fastest times I've seen posted were from Siguel racing who ran 7.33@179 with a 20B and Abel Ibarra 7.58@180 with a 13B. Abel is kind of struggling this year but I think he should be able to hit 200 with the 20B in.



On a side note, Ari Yallon of Rotary Performance is no longer the king in street tire class. Now he has to find a way to run 9 flat to beat Mazurowski's Supra. B)

correct me if im wrong...but the celica your referring to is backed by the manufacturer...hence lots of r&d..testing...etc....

whereas....of which im fairly certain... the 7s runnin these import series are privateers...

This big deal about this Celica is ****** dumb...



1 =Its powered by a Tundra V8...

2 =The only thing Çelica"on this car is the fiber glass,

3 =If I got a tube frame made to hold a First gen shell..and put a 787b style engine in it ..would they accept it?

They are already talking **** about the 20B that is being ran...



BTW this Celica is based 10 mins from me..in Land O Lakes FL

Celica

I agree.... I can't believe they're not going to allow (cant remember his ****** name) with the 20B naturally aspirated first gen to compete in the all motor class next year unless he goes down to a 13B yet they allow these V8's to compete and they have tube frame supra's competing with tube frame FWD 4 cylinders which isnt fair either...



I can't imagine what the 787B powerplant would do in a nice, light drag car with the proper gearing.
