Err get the facts right. Stock swift gti runs 16sec/ 17sec down the 1/4mile.

There is only a handful of swift that does 15 sec let alone in the 14 second bracket.

Plus they don't weigh 750kg, more like 900kg.

I like the RX8... :D

who cares how fast they are any way they look alright.

swift gti's used to be a popular choice in the 90's. i used to want one in high school.

my facts are straight. if you dont believe me call up suzuki themselves. a mark 3 without power steering and air conditioning weighs 750-800kg. and they do run high 14s low 15s in factory. my brother owns one so i know how fast they go. BRAME's go faster.

and what are you talking about handful of swifts that do 15 second let alone 14 second. the current fastest ff on street tyres is dmw daves gti running 11.248 seconds. 2swift runs 12s, and a lot of other turbo'd swifts run 12s.

lol dont preach to fatboyz about swift gti's. if his gti can do 1.56 at EC first time out, he knows what hes talkin about.
im sure he's talkin n/a too, not 12 second turbo swifts.

From Carsales.
SUZUKI SWIFT SA GTI - Kerb mass (kg) 750
Suzuki Swift GTI SF - Kerb mass (kg) 835

Lets all own swift if they are that quick. LOL

DmwDave swift is turbo charged and has the lot done to it. 30-40psi up its arse.

Stock GTi does weigh around the 750-800kg. They cant run high14's or low 15's stock. Trust me we personally have own 4 swifts already and is no way near that time bracket. You'll be lucky to hit high 15's.

You gota remeber fatboyz swift is still N/A 1.3l with the usual N/A bolt-on mods. he does really well against turbo swift. turbo swift runs mid to low 14's.

HAha swift power. 185kph down the straight at 8100rpm in 4th. Seems like something is gonig to break at that speed. LOL

hahaha this thread turned from RX8 to SWIFT thread....go back to redlinegti.com u swift lovers!

rx8 is nice to look at. i havnt driven one nor raced one. but i gota say they do appear slow. If it was RX8 or DC2R id pick dc2r to perform better....

Ok last post from me about the swifts. Yes brame's are the limited edition one, there only abit faster. You are comparing n/a to turbo? not this again. Send me a link of a factory gti doing 15's let alone 14's.
