New member here, and i searched around but couldnt find anything. What does a stock S13 run in the 1/4 mile, also how about a stock SR and what about KA-Ts?

Slow. You'll want to swap in that B16, then convert to 4wd with skyline taillights.

it depends guy.

stock ka - like 16 flat to 17.5 or even worse, depending on your skill and the condition of the car/tires etc etc.

stock sr - mid 14's to low 15's depending on your skill and the condition of the motor/turbo/tires etc etc.

kat - this one is especially difficult to answer because no ones setup is exactly the same, but ive seen everywhere from 12 flat to mid 14's. depending on the turbo/setup/tires/skill/ etc etc.

Alright, to begin 240's are not speed demon cars, they are mildly fast down low, but they are still quite slow. If you are looking for a fast car please look elsewhere unless you have lots of money for a motor swap. If you do not have lots of money and want a fast car i suggest a 1G DSM, they are amazingly fast and are cheap to mod out. BEWARE they are not really reliable once they are modded out, not because they are crap just because they are old cars, and the motors have had it, i personally am working on buying parts to do a KA24E-T build but thats just me, do whatever you want its your car. Have Fun!

Duh, because it's not a civic.

Yeah, who in their right mind would ever want a RWD drag car when they can get a FWD civic. FWD pwns for drags......?

Why would you get the gear ratios redone, you're better off finding a good 6 speed transmission and adapting it. Also, they have a different transmission gears available for the SR. One of our sponsers has them, think it's phase2.

Launch gay? ... LOL, wow thats quite the statement.

My guess is that it has 400HP and a poor suspension setup
