16 or 17...... Minutes... JK!

Probably about 17 or 18 secs depending on your driving skeelz/tranny. You bought the wrong car if your're concerned about 1/4 mile times within a reasonable buget. Nothin wrong with curiosity though. Treat it well with a good suspension/wheels and be proud of the reliability.

You directed him to the Time Slips page for "accurate" info? Is that a joke?

it has been a few years since i raced but i belive the fastest i got was 16.8 @86mph. that is slow. dont remember if i had many mods at the time. to go faster your best bet is a shot of nitrous prob around 75-100 shot is the bigest you can go. a few people have done this. i am not one of them.

but as you said better off spending money on suspension, brakes, and other stuff to make you car look nice

No joke.... Seeing as how I was just taking a stab at it, I figured the time slip section would have more accuracte info regarding track times. Now that I take a look, there isn't. No big deal. Thanks for the helpful reply.

no joke thanks guys. well hey im guessing that 100 shot of nirtous would be somewhere in the same range of a custom
turbo kit or a supercharger. but i highly doubt that i will get that crazy if i want a fast car im going to wait
in a few years when my cars paid for im getting an S4 but i dont think im gonna get a brand new one

llok at it this way if you had a time machine and can go back in time with your car it would be fast for the time. you can still have fun with it though just wait til snow.
