I wanna say its about 13.6

But Im not sure, actually Im REALLY not sure. Last time I kept up on fastest times was over a year ago.
Thats my best guess as well... im almost 100% sure no sporty has gotten into the 12's yet.

The fastest Sporty I ever remember was one on Nitrous that ran low 13s if I can remember correctly. But then again I'm a little fuzzy on that. We may not know for sure since there are a lot of Sporty SDSs that don't report what they do on this board either.

Second thought, I am almost sure there is a 12 second SDS Sporty, Augimatic I think his name was, but don't quote me on that.

If there was a 12second sporty id definitely expect that they would post that up for sure dont you think?

Fastest sporty GT was Ruben from NJ, with a Level 10 tranny, downpipe and nitrous. I think he was in the 13's. I forget how much he was spraying.

Other than that, Ryu - your time slip appears to be the most recent fast time for a sporty GT.

I don't remember ever reading about Augimatic and a 12 second run.

Interesting. So at what point do you think it would be reasonable to be able to officially say i have the fastest sporty time? 12.9?

LOL - for now, you could probably claim fastest sporty GT in FL. I'd say if you're in the low 13's, high 12's - you're probably the fastest sporty GT in the area. If you hit low to mid 12's - you're likely the fastest sporty GT in all the land.

Either way, put up a good number when you're tuned. You build up the tranny at all?

At the moment i have zero tranny mods. Im going back to the track on friday and most likely since i already have the crank pulley ill probobly throw that on as well before we tune it.

Is the fastest 3G a member on this board?
Id say there's a really good chance he/she is since this is the biggest and one of the only resources for the 3g.

Wouldn't the fastest be someone who drives professionaly?
:lmfao: Thats alot better then ur 9 minute joke. Who in the hell would choose a 3g for professional drag racing :nuts: There arent even complete listings for engine internals.

Damn dude, ever seen pro drag racing? I have seen Vegas running 9s.

Are you trying to make a joke or look silly? :dunno:

Yes i have seen pro drag. Ive just never heard of anyone using the 3g platform for it.

.......well........don't they often put those fake fiberglass bodies on top of tube framed chasis? I could have sworn I saw a 3G bodied one in a magazine. :dunno: I could of course be wrong.

Anything is possible. Ive just never seen nor heard of anything of the sort. Plus there arent even any listings for valves or valve springs for the 6g72. It just doesnt seem like a practical platform for pro drag to me.

Gotcha, they could use another motor though.
If they went to that length im sure they would use a different tranny. At that point is it really still concidered a 3g?

Nah, I'm pretty sure there is a SDS Sporty 3G in the 12s. I, for the life of me can't remember the name, because I know that I have kept a keen eye on the Sporties that can eat my car for lunch for the past couple of years. Although, I have not been to the track lately and I'm already ripping the tires off of my car no matter what kind of concrete/asphault I am on since I put the FMIC on. Although, I would prefer to recirc my wastegate before I go back to the track though.

Until i see proof weather it be on this board or somewhere else im going to assume the fastest sporty is in 13 land. You should still run your car on friday at bradenton Russ. Recirculating the wastegate wont make a difference in 1/4 mile time or reliability.
