Am I out of my mind if I want to Hit the 1/4 mile? I have a 993C4S with a couple of modifications and would like to know if I can make a few passes without total destruction (Half shafts, ring gears etc...). I realise soft launches are in order but any information you have from personal experiance would be appreciated.

 

I ran a 13.1 in my 95 993 a couple of years back. It is fun to try at least once.

 

Our P-Cars can take the "beating".
Go for it.

 

If you launch above 4K RPM a few times, I'd give you a 50% chance of buying a new clutch, especially w/ your setup.

 

Acropora:

Have you made many passes on the 2 wheel drive without drivetrain issues?

 

Damn! Nice job!!!

 

OK, What do I need to run/pass tech inspection? Is a helment required?

 

Usually they check your car and make sure everything is tight. Bring a helmet.

 

Well I had a blast. Nothing broke, loads of fun and although Its not the fastest car in the world it sure was fun. Best run of the night was 12.57 @110mph.

 

12.57?!?!?!?! That is fast. Do you have the time slip? What track was it? What is the altitude?

 

The track is at sea level (Florida), Bradenton Dragstrip, And I have the time slips. I made 4 runs that were, 12.97@109mph, 12.68@109mph, 13.13@107 and 12.57@110mph.

 

That is the track I ran a 13.1 in my 993. Post up the 12.5. That is the fastest 1/4 mile time I have ever seen in a 993 and any non Turbo 911 (besides the GT3)

 

Duh, nevermind, I just saw your sig and lost of mods.

 

That must have been a long drive from Scottsdale to Bradenton (only kidding). Thanks for the helpful information about the helment.

 

No problem. I used to live just north of there in the Tampa/St.Pete area.
It actually was a very long (and unconfortable drive) from FL here.
