New track times, went to the 1/4 mile Options

[mywhite94celicag...]

i went to the race track on saturday and it was import day so i decided to send my celica down a few times. heres my times

1st pass 17.392
2nd pass 17.247
3rd pass 17.279


i was told by a guy that knows alot about cars and drag racing that low 17s for a celica with only a few mods was pretty fast. he said that most celicas will run mid to low18's stock. i was like SWEET. i felt pretty good about that cause the guys that i went there with had a civic hatchback with amildly modified ZC 1.8 engine and he only ran a 16.893. that was his fastest time, all 4 or so other passes were slower then mine they were like 17.4 or 17.5. so that also made me feel pretty good. let me know what ya think, if they are slow or fast for the celica gt????

Lists the stock power specs for various B18 series motors.  Vtec and non-Vtec. Even the new civics hit these numbers... although I think their engines are off of the "D" series motors.  The New Civic Si actually pushes near 160hp+ and 140 ft lbs of torque...that's a version of the new "K" series motor, same used in the new RSX-S. and zigy: 140 some odd hp, correct.  140 ft lbs of torque, out of an n/a 1.8 liter motor... heh... no.  They do have tough bottom ends tho... but not for boost because they also have unusually high compression ratios.  With modification, they can boost nicely.  That brings up the whole LS-Vtec ordeal.

and in zigy's defense...you say that there is no way a 1.8 liter naturally aspirated engine can produce 140 ft. lbs of torque huh?

well how about this. look at your post.

the new civic si pushes near 160+hp and 140 ft lbs of torque. again lets go back to the honda homepage. since i would suppose that they know more about it than you do. they say that the si only produces 160 hp at 6500 RPMS and 132 ft lbs of torque at 5000rpms. so um ? i dont get it i thought that it produces 160+hp and 140 ft lbs. and oh my gosh its a 1.8 liter engine. wtf? i thought those couldnt produce that much. damn man you really got everyone there.


also in case anyone here is as dumb as him please notice the sarcasm when reading this post.
