where do u go - wheres the best 1/4 mile track then?
For the record, my best run (at Santa Pod, mind) was a 13.359@107.36mph and that was off a 2.3 sec 60ft. Did 4 other close runs that day, slowest came out around 13.6@105 IIRC, all on the 19th Feb 2005.
There's a lot more to come from that Clio yet, I'm sure Adi will do the job and get it into the 12's.

yep, i'm gonna run a pot, my money's on mikey T!!!
I have to say I am very impressed by these times especially the 12.5.
I always thought as rough figures go that you need about 400-450bhp per tonne to get down to a 12.0/115, 750bhp per tonne for a high ten/130 and nearly 1000 per tonne for mid 9/high 140's.
I don't know much about car quarters though, I am more into stock road bikes (and thats obviously RWD with a 6sp sequential) so I am amazed at what these Clio's are doing. I guess if you lowered the gearing on bikes so that they only had the top speed as a hot hatch then they could pull off those times with a far lower power to weight than I have stated above.
Still I am surprised and that must take some serious throttle and clutch control.
