Default It is the same car. It was built up by Leon and was sold to stephen.

So I dont really get how he claims to have had all the custom work done. That turbo was put on that car over 2 years ago.

The 60 ft time should be much lower(looks like a 2.0 to me), a 1.8 or 1.7 shouldn't be much of a problem with a good launch and with that trap speed it looks like he should be in the very low 12/high lls if driven well.

Default Before anyboby starts knocking CharlieGSanD's time

Look at what you are running, 12.6 at 115mph is damn good with a car that weights 3500lbs (thats with the driver and stereo)and not braking a tranny.
All you slow guys rev up the engine and launch the car and the car doesnt make enough power to brake anything or the Stock cluch will slip, so the 2 second 60ft time only shows that he drove the car (not towed) home at the end of the day.
The problem with all these forums is that there is too many key board racers its easy to go 12's in front of the screen but the truth is there is only a hand full of us that spend the money and actualy know what it takes.
No hard feelings I hope, thats just my opinion.
