Here's something I thought you guys would find interesting. I know there's an interest in making our 1.4T perform. Here's a recent episode of Car Science called "Stripped for Speed". They test the theory of 100 lbs = 1/8 second off your 1/4 mile ET.
The test car is a stock 1992 Nissan Centra with 110 hp. Curb weight is 2116 lbs. Their first pass was an ET of 16.65 @ 84.1 MPH. Guess how much weight removal it takes to make this thing do a 15.38 1/4 mile pass @ 91 MPH. :th_coolio:
