This is not a simple question of X amount of power will get you a certain time. It comes down to alot of suspension setup, driving ability etc. There are people that have done it with 250kw then there are people that have done it with 350kw or 400kw there no definite answer. My advice would be go do a few runs see where your at and slowly do some modifications to your engine aswell as suspension until you work the best combo for your driving and at the same time you will be learning how to drive the car most effectiviely.

Hmm I've seen an 11.2 @ 128MPH in a VL RB30/25 with around 360rwkw in a 5sp man with slicks. Depends on the driver tho I spose.

[HEKT1K]

Heavily driver dependent. I would estimate though that with 350rwkw it would be possible

If you really want fast times a built auto trans is the way to go.

slicks, drag suspension, a good driver, a stripped interior and 300rwkw could make it... just... but i'd be looking for around 350rkww

I ran 11.6 @ 122mph in a manual r31 on slicks, stock 30e with bolt ons (303rwkw). Was being fairly easy on it off the line so i didnt bend trailing arms though. I reckon you'll need a bit more than 300 with the manual unless you hate the car.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

hating the car is mandatory

[Shane_954]

True, but sometimes results in broken bits and makes the drive home difficult.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

if i was shooting for 10's i'd be trailoring

[R31Nismoid]

Ye around 350-360rwkw

More importantly however is you knowing how to drive.

Running a car into the 10's with that power and slicks isn't a basic task.

many many factors come into consideration, not just the power.
