Just wondering if anyone with a charger or turbo has done any 1/4 times and what time would a stock is200 do ?

I used to like the odd drag in my starlet but dont want to be embarrassed with the lexus..

So no one has ever done 1/4 mile in an is 200??

a few have !

not the best for 1/4 miles due to the gearing
i would guess 17's

You guessing 17's with or without charger ?

sorry mods - can someone edit size of my signature - have tried for ages and took me long enough to get it loaded up ..

I did one a few years ago a the best track day we had at Bruntingthorpe. Managed a 15.80 at 88mph, with a dodgy clutch

Not sure if thats good or bad, but its what I got.

here is a video Aido made in 2005 with a mixture of cars at a santa pod day


sorry they have nicked the soundtrack (did sound really good as well ! )

Thanks for the vid Barrie

Yes mate

I think someone at Japfest got a 15.4 second, thats with a twin turbo conversion. But that was because of dodgey launchs, and couldnt get the power onto the tarmac, as it was too slipery

and not with the power the car was expected to have.

My clutch was not working that day, the release bearing broke, so I didn't have the chance to run up the strip.

Sparky also didn't have TC so that didn't help matters, hitting the rev limiter seriously limits performance.
