FWD World Record????

**iijjee** · 04-04-2008 02:47 PM

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 .
