Russ Salerno's Totally Stock Quarter Mile in 13.6 Seconds
Details of the run:
60' ? 330' ? 1/8 ? MPH ? 1000' ? 1/4 13.6 MPH 99 TTA #907 EMPTY WEIGHT: 3400 BLOCK: Stock HEADS: Stock TRANSMISSION: Stock TORQUE CONVERTER: Stock DIFFERENTIAL: Stock INTERCOOLER: Stock THROTTLE BODY: Stock RJC POWER PLATE: No INJECTORS: Stock THERMOSTAT: Stock TURBOCHARGER: Stock VALVE SPRINGS: Stock MAF: Stock DOWN PIPE: Stock EXHAUST: Stock FUEL PUMP: Stock FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR: Stock FUEL PRESSURE: Stock ALCHOHOL INJECTION: No PROPAIN INJECTION: No NITROUS: No AIR FILTER AND AIR INTAKE: Stock TIRE DESIGN, SIZE & AIR PRESSURE: Original tires AIR BAG(s): No SCAN TOOL: Scanmaster FUEL: Cam2 100 unleaded CHIP: Stock CHIP TIMING: Stock KNOCK RETARD: Unknown OXYGEN SENSOR VOLTAGE: Unknown TRACK ELEVATION: Near Sea Level TEMPERATURE: Stock PEAK BOOST: Unknown BOOST AT LAUNCH: Unknown MILES ON THE CAR/ENGINE: Less than 5,000 For What Its Worth: This time in the quarter mile is right in the middle of the high and low "reports" in performance magazines of the day (1989) and is probably typical for an all original "stock" TTA, "With the factory air still in the tires", Russ said  Russ Salerno bought my car with 19 miles on the odometer in 1995, and enjoyed the car to its fullest. He reports that, in entirely stock form, the car ran a best of 13.6 in the quater mile. He went on to report that with a stealth AFPR, Ta-49, test pipe (for the track), 160 degree thermostat, throttle body bypass plugs, voltage booster, Xp fuel pump, K&N air filter, Ultra flow muffler, engine tie down strap, and Thrasher, the car did 12.4 @ 109....

Back in 1991 on a 100 degree summer day here in CA my car ran the following bone stock with about 500 miles on it:
60'........ 2.032 330'.......5.635 1/8........ 8.665 @ 82.055 1000'.... 11.293 1/4........ 13.530 @ 102.769 My friend (who then owned the car) managed to click off a best of 13.322 @ 104.68 in totally stock form later that night after it cooled down a lot. Unfortunately that timeslip doesn't list any incrementals.

My totally stock TTA w/9k on the clock went a consistant 13.8x with the only thing not stock was the tires, but were street BFG Z-rated tires. I removed the cat and replaced it with a straight pipe, and it runs a consistant 13.6x's now.

Mine bone stock car ran a 1/8 on 9.09 and 82.47 mph with the only aftermarket street tires.
In Sweden we run high mphs but bad et:s lol. I begin to wonder if usa and sweden clock the times on different ways. My best times so far is 8.39 1/8 and 12.87 on some 110 mph pass... Has done 112 mph but on a 13.27 Et and 2.44 60 foot... Trasher 108, race gas and cat pipe + 20.5 psi boost. Daniel
