What are the approximate stats for a VTS 1/4 Mile?
As above - What will an S (roughly) do a 1/4 mile in and at what top speed? Thanks

Driver/Tyres play a massive part.. think the average time for an standard S is around 15.4 - 15.6, may be wrong like.

Pretty happy with my 15.3 @ 90.5mph then 
Pretty standard apart from de-cat and backbox on mine.
I saw a VTS on NOS run a 14.9 lol..!
An AX with a TB'd S lump ran a 15.2 when i saw it
And a Saxo VTS on Tb's also, ran a 15.1...
They must be badly set-up ^^!
Was up against a Type-R Civic, Clio 182 and a Golf GTI - had them all!

nothing to do with how they are set up.
not everyone builds cars for 1/4 miles dear boy, some of us like corners because we can drive round them
alot of TBd cars may have a cam profile that is NO use over a 1/4

From the stats Ive read a base figure of 15.67sec sounds about reasonable.
