  • Y87 1/4 mile

    i did a search and couldn't find anything, but i apologize if this has already been discussed...

    I've got a 96 RS Y87....I'd assume it's quarter mile would be quicker than a non-Y87 b/c 3.42 gears w/ LSD but is the difference anything significant?

      my friends girlfriend at school has a 1996 Rs Y87 fully loaded.. and we went @ it when i was sstock with 342's, and just an aluminum ds.. both automatic and i took my friend who drove her car by a nose.. so basically what im trying to tell u is... statistics arent always precise.. some cars are kept up better than others.. e/t times vary.. :)

            I have heard of people with stock or just intake/exhaust Y87s run anywhere from 15.1 to 15.8. I think the 00+ cars tend to run a little better, but probably 15.5 or so is around average.

              The biggest factor is practice and DA

              If you're at a good track you should easily get a low 15 with a little practice.

                        All V6 cars get a one-piece steel driveshaft to replace the two piece steel unit used in earlier years. There is a bulletin out warning that excessive speeds (excess of 125 mph) can cause the tail shaft extension seal to vibrate out and allow all of the transmission fluid to leak out
