Then there were the weight-saving goodies... Removing the front passenger seat, spare tire/jack/etc, and running on a very low tank.

But even if you don't want to go through all that effort, this is at least a mid-to-upper 13s car, bone stock. FI might pretty much be the only way to get it into the 12s, though.


I personally dont think its worth removing seats and other luxury items to shave off barely a second ! or maybe im just weird lol cuz to me if you wana go so fast that you consider taking apart a luxury car .. just buy another car lol but like i said maybe im just weird !

My best 1/4 mile time on street tires and full interior was a 13.251. This was with basic intake and exhaust mods and slightly lower profile rear tires. Only the contents of the car were removed (spare, tools, etc.).

I haven't ever done any 1/4 mile runs when my piggy back ECU was hooked up. I really wish I could motivate myself to get back on that ...
