12.7 seconds?

bullshit

try 15.7, 14.7 if ur good at dragging and have a tailwind

are we talking a proper drag meet with electronic timing or your mates stopwatch?

For an approximation use this site - use all measurements in American (pounds instead of kilo's, horsepower instead of killowatts)...

Or alternatively, to see how much mojo your engine is making use this site...
