Approx 14 seconds in the 1/4. Cheers.

It really would depend on how much power you plan to get out of the n/a. A quick look at one of the online 1/4 mile calculators would say that 150hp to the flywheel in an 1800lb car would be about 14 second flat in the 1/4. If you were able to get 225hp to the wheels in a turbo motor then you have an 11 second car which is what I am shooting for.

In using those online calculators, you have to realize the 818 is not 1800 lbs with gas and driver, more like 2100 lbs realistic race weight depending on many build factors. Cheers.

My best guess would be a 12.2 car. I do not see anywhere near 11.xx car with near stock turbo power. I would say it would be a good match in a straight line with a Ls2,3,6 Vette....and will kill them in the twisties.

Road and Track magazine's road test of the 818R, with 270 hp and 300 lb-ft torque had a 12.5 sec. 1/4 mile@112 mph.
Also a 0-60 time of 3.8 sec.

I could care less about a 1/4 mile time, but 3.8 seconds is in "exotic territory" and what really counts with this type of car. For the money, that's just incredible. If anyone can improve that time at all would be,,,, quicker than even than most roadsters with more than twice the motor

Low 11s would be nice. Let's see what mine weighs first.
