As to your question, and also to CGS Mike's reply, its my understanding that the best number on these forums for a quarter mile in a JRSC is 13.4. I suppose a flat 13 is feasible. I've never taken my car to the strip. We don't seem to have too much data on 1/4 times.

I did have EVOs and WRXs in addition to mustang GT's in mind. Thing is, a lot of enthusiasts go after more power, and while its great that a supercharged FRS is faster than those vehicles when they're stock (except for the GT), as soon as the owner's put in the same amount of money that most FI FRS owners have, the FRS of course will lose. That's largely because, at least in the case of supercharging, it takes horsepower to make horsepower, and if you start with more, you make even more with a SC. So for instance we might go from 200 crank to 320 crank with our centrifugal setups, a GT would go from 400 (I'm just using general numbers) to 600. Our setup got 120 ponies from our money, and probably from a similar amount of money the GT got an additional 200. Its easier if you start out with more power in the first place.

Mike is right about the weight being a factor in our favor of course. I am jealous of the new miata's weight.

A quarter mile in the 13's is not particularly fast, albeit quick, by today's standards. A stock 370 has a 13.0 quarter mile -- a JRSC FRS at its best might be able to do that.

Yeah I thought about perrin resonated, not sure I like the note though.

Your overall cost with those other cars would be much higher, so to me at least, the comparison doesn't make any sense. You could just as easily throw a GT350R into the mix, spend the same money and get great results, but it would cost you something like 2.5x more overall.

I have the Perrin system, and its nice and quiet. Quiet enough that people have asked me if the car is even on, if the car has stalled, or if I plan on getting a full exhaust. And thats with already having uel headers, a full exhaust, and of course the JR SC.

Last year, I walked away from an RS5 from a dig and an M6 from 55 on a similar setup. With my current JR setup, I think I could do it again.
