Default 1/4 mile times

I know the es300 isn't really a race car but i was wondering if anyone had ever taken their car to the track to see what kind of numbers it can put down? or if any other car reviews have posted 1/4 mile times?

LOL good memory FLiP

It was a 15.7 in my '96 ES, my very first attempt on any racetrack. Completely stock under the hood, stock wheels (I did run Toyos though, not sure if that helped) , kept the usual crap and spare tire in the trunk, and as far as I remember, I did not turn the ECT power on and I power-braked to get a good jump off the start line.

That was a fun day at the track (it was actually a CL meet taking place that day)

I ran a 12.34@117mph last time out at the track. Probably could have gotten a better ET if I had hooked up properly with the slicks.

Cool

Hahahaha

and no MRLex, the performance differance between the stock box and any known intake has allways wound up either being the same, or less performance.
