Default 1/4 mile times?

What would be an average 1/4 mile time for a 993? Anyone tried?
Just interested more than anything really.

I think the official 1/4 mile time for a '95 was 13.8 seconds.

Those are really good numbers!
What tires did you run and is your 993 modified?

Did a 14.5 with a grandma launch... no wheelspin, only revved to 3000 RPM on the line, put right foot into it only after clutch was fully engaged.

I was doing a little over 100mph when I crossed the line.

I have Yokohama Advan Sports 265/35 ZR 18.

My Porsche is heavily modified:

* TPC Eaton compressor
* VEMS v3.3 Motronic programmable engine management system
* Additional harness for direct ignition, wideband lambda, outputs for water/meth injection, boost control, launch control etc
* Bosch LSU4 wideband UEGO sensor
* Stock intake air temp sensor changed to fast response, open-element NTC type.
* 2 Bosch Motorsport 2x3 coil-packs, total of 6 IGBT input channels, 12 outputs
* LCD display for engine data (rpm, boost, CLT/IAT/EGT temp, lambda, TPS and much more)
* Siemens Deka 730cc High-Z injectors
* Bosch 044 fuel pump
* Custom air intake tubing and cold air intake system
* Custom aluminium supercharger outlet+bypass system
* Custom distributor hole blockoff
* Custom top mount intercooler, extruded tube core
* GT2 tail
* EVO II bumper

This 12,8 run was in very moderate setup, it can do much more. 60 foot has been always good, ar rear-engine car has excellent launch.
