is it possible for a stock 99 solara auto to get a quarter mile time under 16 seconds?

by **BradOwens** » Sun Feb 20, 2005 9:07 pm

depends on the driver. i think a stock V6 auto will run a 15.6 in the 1/4. if its a 4 cylinder stock then no

a professional driver would most likely get in under 16 seconds.

No way a stock SLE can hit under 16seconds.

I agree, it depends on the driver plus if you decide to take out your seats and don't have a full tank of gas then I think it's possible.

I've seen some reviews at 16 flat for a stock automatic.

I've seen Adam drive before. He's a very good driver. I really don't think a stock V6 auto can go below 16 in the 1/4 mile with full interior and stock tires. Automatic just loses too much power compared to a 5spd. There was a member here who smoked an auto s/c solara with his N/A 5spd V6 Solara at the track.

i've ran a 15.6, but it is pretty humid here too. shet, i wish i could run low 15s if it were only cooler.

I think a stock automatic would be lucky to get below 16 with a power launch, no spare tire and 1/8 tank of 94 octane gas.
