   weight out.
   
   or you would need some descent tyres to start with and basic breathing mods and maybe cams depending on how well you can launch.

   Just shed some weight and get some decent tyres. Im sure I saw on vroom vroom or fifth gear that they were quicker on quartermile with more pressure in tyres but dont quote me on that

   I run a 15.1 at pod in my VTS with only an Magnex cat-back exhaust system. The only weight loss I did was the rear bench and spare wheel.
   
   A 2l Corsa should do it quicker as well IMO.

    In Bulgaria i made 15.0 with 155km/h terminal speed. The biggest problem is that the track is uphill. On santapod it will give about 14.3-14.5. Spec is Newman cams ph2, air intake, race exhaust pipe no silencers and lightweight.

    With that spec you should be sub 15 already.
    
    Get out there and give it a go.
    
    Could get a set of sticky 048R on the front only to give you extra grip off the line.. and if you want to do the quarter mile regularily worth getting a good clutch
    
    I did a 16.029 in a 205 with 92bhp weighing 785kgs. Was going to push for mid 15s but sold the car to start a better project.
