eh, the new ones aren't that bad. "scrming" ran a 13.1 in his with a 100shot (maybe 125?) and otherwise minor work.
older ones? POS. i had a 97, and i lost to a bone stock auto 02 civic from a dig...three times...in a row...then an early 90's 4cyl ranger...from a dig and a roll...then i resorted to just putting a system in it and never racing again.

I don't know, but I had a riced (YES.......big aluminum wing, bodykit, and fartcan) Sel Sol that was behind me one night when I was at a stopsign about to turn onto the highway by my house. And as i was turning left onto the highway, just getting into second gear, this obnoxious screaming sound comes around me from behind. The dude was overtaking me seconds after we turned onto the highway.......i could tell the poor guy had it floored just to nudge past me well enough to get in front.......and I was only in second gear. BTW, i was not gunning it......just accelerating normally. lol.
So in short, my experience says they are "pretty" slow. The question is always: "How much has the owner dumped into the engine and drivetrain?"
