i wouldnt bother with any vtec for drag racing, they either bog down and you're waiting and waiting for the vtec or they just spin on the line (coming from an owner of an ek9, jdm ep3 and dc5).

they're maybe fugly, but they're quick, reliable, 4wd for good starts and big power is achievable compared to 106.

MR2 turbo or Pulsar would get my vote.

300bhp is cheap to do on a Pulsar and will do 12s all day long.........well as long as the gearbox lasts with constant launches.

I would go for an impreza. CAn get one easily for that money and will do 13's as standard.

yeah its good, but by the time you get going, the other car is half way up the 1/4!

i'll probably never bother with putting the dc5 on a 1/4. i know they do about 14.5 all day long so that'll do.
