This was done on regular street tires and side stepping the clutch like on str.

With 285 hp it is in the 2.0s and 8.4s for 1/8th / 32.8 mpg
This is being done with solid motor/tranny mounts (got rid of wheel hop) and DOT sticky Hoosier R6 nearly slicks, still sidestepping clutch.

Next item to buy, traction bars. Got to get control of that spin!

James Reeves (in KY, near Cinncy) has a plain Omni that is street driven, runs 10.7s at 139 and still gets 30 mpg....full interior and cage!
