Two out of nine in the six-second range and three out of the 19 fastest is pretty cool. Fredde Holmgren's 142 is further down the list as well.

Also, check out the dude in fifth place. FWD. :-O

[BassGuy]

Three more Volvo's later on in the list - 480 Turbo, Amazon, and a 142. The 480 and Amazon are listed as B230+ 16v (no info for the 142)

Yeah...and you think the 4 cylinders are insane? Check out the wankels sometime. They make the most absurd drag cars I've ever seen. Little Toyotas, Mazdas, and Datsuns converted to RWD and tubbed. Cars like like 50 inch wheelbases and 1500 HP running low 6s. Guy's are freakin' nuts.

Should shut up fools and their 'swap in xxx motor' b.s. 2 spots for 20+ year old blocks is simply awesome.

Records Falling! 200mph ENDO - First 6-Second Honda, H-Pattern Shifted, 1/4 Mile Run! - BangShift.com

While we’re not huge on import drag racing around here, we certainly can appreciate what it takes to make something run 6’s in the quarter mile, especially when it’s a stick car with an H-Pattern shifter. That is no small feat, and being as I’m a fan of an EG Honda Hatch, I think this […]

This was a treat to see in person – Carl Brunet and his Ecotec powered 2009 Pontiac GXP SENT it at Orlando Speed World Dragway, and destroyed the old 4cyl quarter mile record! Clocking nearly 230mph, it’s safe the say this is Pontiac could be seeing 5’s in it’s near future! Congrats to Carl and...

Yeah, we were watching from a buddy's shop in Gatineau. He has a livestream up on the shop TV for the duration of the World Cup event, lol. We've hung out at Napierville a lot over the years, got to see Carl's evolution while simultaneously blowing up our own slower cars and ghetto towing them home to Ottawa, lol.

His Dad Ronald owns the track. It helps the development when you don't have to pay for renting the track! I think I was there when he first tested his ciment filled Ecotech block some years ago. I was happy with the 12.3 @ 104 mph I ran with my 331 Stoker all motor Mustang then I saw this guy going down the track with his 4 pots!
