I went to the track last night and got 7 runs in. Here's my runs in order
17.15 @80 Beat cavlier z24 that talked **** all night to me. 16.93 @79 got owned by a hotrod chevy that run a 13.4 16.76 @80 raced my buddy's accord, won 16.90 @79 raced a old beaten sentry, that ran a 17.9 16.89 @80 got beat by my buddy with the accord. he ran 16.777 16.89 @79 owned a fiero 16.94 @79 got owned by vtec 14.26 I my blown rear struts are keeping me from my mid 16s. I'm checking timing and compression thursday night. I also dropped tire pressure for those runs and launched from 4000 to 4500. Maybe I'll be back out friday night. I have video too, ill try to post but have no idea how. any idears? -------------------- NASA/SCCA RX-7....currently under the knife

I agree with some parts... but everything you've said is in your opinion... and however much you believe it, it doesn't mean everyone will take your word for it. You may feel your car is fast... but that all depends on what your opinion of fast is. Exaggeration is always prominent and NOTHING is certain without real-world testing. It's not hard to just say things... so you gotta be able to back it up somehow, beyond simply asking people to take your word for it. I'll be one to say right now, our cars do what they're designed to do... and those who try and street-race with these cars, when equipped with these motors just don't understand what these cars are. They're designed to look fast... but technically speaking... they're slow (only as fast as trucks and vans at best). Road and Track in 1995 rated the Celica GT in the 1/4 mile at 16.4 under a professional driver. ANYONE that claims to hit better than that, are either mildly modified, or using the butt-meter and a stopwatch... Those who only "claim" are even less believeable... All in all, no matter how good the driver is... there is no way for the driver to make the car out-perform its maximum capability. The car has limits... and a driver cannot push the car beyond that. That's why people don't believe things like, "I can run 16's STOCK!" when EVERYONE else is running 17's and 18's... it's technically not probable... not impossible, but for the most part, highly highly improbable, especially when the "claimee" tends to sound completely unknowledgable about these sorts of things. Finally... our cars are slow... no matter how you look at it... unless you consider minivans and full-sized trucks fast, which in many cases, are faster than our cars. In closing... you have to choose your words more carefully... EVERYONE that says these cars are slow, DO NOT refer to the car in general. The car itself doesn't go fast... the engine makes the car go... The ENGINE is what makes these cars slow... so your final argument is meaningless... A 3SGTE will make these cars sub 13 second cars on stock boost, assuming you have the skill to launch the car... that'll basically make them almost as fast as Corvettes... which is pretty fast... -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
