fast but not very fast

You're gonna make some people angry with that comment.

With some work, a 3sgte will run under 12 seconds.

Actually, I think "fast but not very fast" is a pretty good, albeit inherently non-descriptive, definition. Here is another way to put it: "The speed will surprise you the first time you turn the boost up to 14 or 15psi."

As for the sub 12 second club, that is going to be VERY difficult with a FWD car. RWD 3sgte's in MR2T cars take about 350-400whp to get into that range. With the traction issues in a FWD set-up, its going to take very wide sticky tires, a great suspension and more horsepower (and alot of money).

agreed. with the 3sgte swap iam currently doing, i will be VERY!!! happy to get in to the high 13's being my 7afte on an auto trans at 8PSI only ran low 15's and high 14's on a good launch.

i was gonna scream, i thought you got a 15 out of a auto st haha, i ran 17.8 in my auto gt . automatic trans for the lose . ive seen 15.9's in stock gt manuals. it was a sad day at the track for me haha.
