what's the fastest official 1/4 mile time for a road legal scooby?
only asking as a guy i know is organising a jap drag day and scoobs ain't quick enough to qualify
not entirely surprising as scoobs aren't exactly drag cars, but what's the fastest recorded?

It's the rad'. There isn't enough room at the front, with the turbo positioned as it is.
They can get away with the small top mount rad', because it's purely used as a drag car.

ScoobyDoo69 - is that the CRD car?
Should be some interesting scoobs this year, hopefully someone will break the 10second barrier!

Part of the problem in ramming home the advantage of power might be a synchro gearbox, you can easily spend 1.5-2 seconds on gearchanges off the power on a quarter.
