Damn. Not what you'd expect from a 225 shot at all. With 650ish hp, I'd expect something in the 11's pretty easily. Obviously there are some issues other than hp the F needs to address to be quick in the quarter mile.

My thoughts exactly. Provided a given ISF had enough traction, was driven properly, and weather conditions were optimal, it should break into the 11s once it got to the (just an educated guess) 420 WHP range. What do the rest of you think? Sound about right?

Something dosnt sound right about the run. Sounds like he let off the throttle after first gear Or traction control stopped the car from accelerating.

Sounded/looked like a bad launch. Also, the car is on stock tires from the last time I saw the car.

Also, have some of you ever drove an 11 second or better car down a drag strip on stocks? Its not the easiest thing to do.

Yes ^, It must be a progressive shot. That IS didn't launch like it was on the bottle. Most likely did spray until 2nd gear.

It is obviously a fast car. It needs some serious rubber in the back though. 295mm drag radials will tuck in back there nicely.

I just want to see a video with an 11 second ISF pass!!! With that much power on tap (once it can be hooked up), that car should be WELL into the 11s.

Looks like a really clean setup on the car. Absolutely gorgeous in the engine bay.

I think our trans will be a HUGE problem when the car starts to make power. I have taken mine to the 1/4 3 times and everytime i try to preload the susp, right on gas and lt on brake, the trans slips like hell. And yes, i know how to drive. I have a 10sec S2000
