quarter mile times
I'm looking at taking my kombi to the drags tommorrow night and i'm wondering what times kombis do? I'm supercharged 4agze in the back,
if you dont already know, but are there any hot kombis so i can sort of guess what time mine will do. I think i get around 125kw at the flywheel, from
the books, but its an auto and i don't think its running to top performance

if you have excel 2000 you can download this and it will let you know what your after, if you find a power curve for a 4agze and the weight of a
kombi.
the auto might complicate things, just use a crap stall efficiency.

The fastest street driven one I've heard of is about 15.5 secs at the vwday at surfers paradise race way about 5 yrs ago , it was a lifted twin
cab owned by john alders brother in law "STRAP". powered by a 2.2/2.4 ltr with de lortos on it

yeah even though my Oval goes hard, I'm sure it would appear dissapointing at drags, say high 15's if I'm lucky.
I always remember the great HO Fords used to do 15.4 sec ( I think ) 351 ci V8
Some people get rude shock when they run their cars.Good he was pre warned.

hehehe last time i went to the drags i ran a 15.4 and that was shutting it down halfway thru third about 3/4 way along the 1/4 mile. Bitch wasnt
running right...
There were a few shocked people....
Namely a VN commodore all modded up that i left eating my dust thru all three gears, same for a turbo rotary with a huge front mount...

The best time I saw the yellow and white dual cab kombi do at surfers was a 16.8 or 16.9
not mega fast, but enough to give most cars on the road a decent run. about the same 1/4 time as an EF era 6 cyl falcon which isnt too bad.

I managed consistent 16.4s with no traction through first at all, but I've beat faster cars on the street?!?! I reckon it shoud be capable of
cutting in to the 15s with ease...

Amazer,
I saw your Kombi race at the 94 Jamboree @ Willowbank, I think it was in the 14's. The funniest thing was that all the guys sitting around me
were Rotary nuts, and they were in complete shock when this old kombi flogged the crap out of the rotary that it was racing.......

According to Wes's sheet, I could do 16.4 assuming I'm a complete legend at shifting. We'll see when the Melbourne drags come around!
My new DV is fitted Monday, so I'm all set. Maybe I should lose some weight.
Wes, you have a U2U for the revised sheet with all the New Beetle's details plugged in.
