There's an article where they made a Sentra into a 14 second car. They basically gutted EVERYTHING (hood, roof, doors, everything behind the rear wheels was removed cuz all it was doing was adding weight, seats, etc). Haha, when they were done it looked the the guy was driving a frame with wheels and an engine. But it was a 14 second car I'm sure someone has the link here and they can post it.

Ha. Don't go for making it fast. Turbo is the only way, and even then it might barely make it there. The auto tranny robs alot of power.

hmm, how about no cat and open exhaust, nearly empty fuel tank, and weight reduction, that could make a 15 sec car.
