FWD World Record????

[iijjee]

Anyone know who currently holds the world record for the quarter mile in a fwd car?

Last I heard it was a chevy in the mid to low 7's but a google search today has turned up nothing...

Would love to know the ET and MPH as well! Hondas were first into 10's, 9's, 8's and 7's I think but th competition is pretty close now!

Any clues?

Ta!

fastest in the NA class i've seen would be bisi from bisimoto engineering. he's got an sohc f22a powered honda insight that makes 400+hp and does the quarter mile in 9.5-ish. pretty darn good for a carby powered sohc non-vtec motor.

only other record i've heard of is the fwd mx6 that ran 6.9 seconds down the quarter. its the one that was mentioned in autosalon magazine ages ago, with the quad rotor or triple rotor motor.

I think the skunk2 DC5 ran a mid 9 sec run with worked engine and tube frame .

The only FWD i know was the Honda which hits 7.83...NHRA...

That was RWD

That was RWD

actually it was fwd. no other reason for the massive front tyres.

Not sure about Pro FWD but its in the 7's.

I know of an insight that runs mid 9's in the US. Was on one of those ignition DVD's.

[LiL FiLo]

A performance company in the states built a car that was running 6's FWD N/A 1000HP 4cyl MOPAR motor (Custom built motor)....... custom chassis etc... full tube frame.. it was in streetmachine last year... ill see if i can dig up any more info... Theres also a CRX in the states the runnin a big block 454 chev with an 871 poppin outa the bonnet, one of the honda dealerships built it not sure wat its runnin etc but i definately kno it would b very fast

that was back in the day... i love that guy..

[iijjee]

Still love to get the lowdown... Some interesting stories so far. I can't afford Super Street mags anymore... Must be someone with links to the states who knows! Pretty sure the N/A FWD record is still in the 9's! Also pretty sure the overall FWD record is still in VERY low 7's - a Chevy Cobalt or some other Nth American model. I like the MOPAR engine story.... still I'd love to see some confirmed numbers or a website to check out the records!

Anyone got Steve Papadakis' number??? (lol!) Although I heard he's into drift now...

[iijjee]

OK, tried one last Google search and found this...

http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/blog/archive/2008/01/07/ecotec-racing

Also this...

http://tunersource.gmblogs.com/Drag-Racing/gary-gardella

Here's a grab from that site...

One of the most popular and widely recognized drivers on the circuit, Gardella also set both ends of the national record in October at Englishtown, N.J. establishing the e.t. mark at 7.159 seconds and the top speed record at 202.79 mph. Because of long established rules on how national records are set, Gardella's Red Bull Chevy Cobalt actually went quicker and faster than his record setting marks posting a 7.156 elapsed time at Indianapolis and a 209.59 mph top speed at Dallas.

NOPI Pro FWD Chevy Cobalt Information

Full carbon-fiber Cobalt body
Front-wheel-drive
Longitudinally-mounted ECOtec race engine
1450hp @ 9200rpm
2.16L Inline 4 cylinder

3 injectors per cylinder with FAST XFI Engine Management System

Xtrac race transmission with ACE slipper clutch
Mickey Thompson 29.5 x 10.5W x 15 front racing slicks

Still... love to know the quickest H car, too!!! Chevy probably has more interest in pouring money in right now!

Impressive car though! Nearly as quick as, and faster in mph than all aussie rwd rotors! Only a second off the 3000hp doorslammers I saw last sunday too!

that was bisi of bisimoto engineering, and it was an f22a powered insight. its a brilliant piece of engineering. how many of you guys can brag about an sohc non-tec 2.2L making 435hp?

check out http://www.syntectopshop.com/superstreet-engine-articles/6253862.html where bisimoto has been invited into the superstreet top shop challenge, where's he's going to build another f22a motor. keeps things interesting on the NA FWD tuning market.
