Most of them can't cut better than about a 1.9 sixty on the inevitable low-profile tire on the large diameter rim (goes along with the handling mods) and I've seen a lot more 2.1-2.2. I've also seen a stock turbo 240 run a 12.9 at 108 on street tires, so it's more than possible, just not common from what I've seen at the track.
My only point is that you do not need big hp with these cars to get them to ride out. Heck I'm sure that my dyno numbers are much less than alot of cars on here. As far as running big wheels and low profile tires to drag race with is just plain stupid if your planning on being competitive. However most 240's are used for drifting and are not set up at all to run the 1/4 mi.
