Yeah, altitude does make a difference.. if you run at sea level you will be faster too.. I ran 18.5 but using the conversion to sea level posted at LACR's website the time would actually be 17.9

n/a's are 17 second cars?



I thought that they would run 16s stock. This is disturbing, because its lookin to be slower than my 90 Accord.

I think I can run the 1/4 mile faster than that....

NA verts are probably 17 second cars.



NA coupes should be high 15 - low/mid 16 second cars, when running strong... driver is a big variable too.

on the Car and Driver test of the Vert when it was new it put down an 18.1, and it says it weighs 3050 lbs..

pengaru 05-29-2003 02:12 PM

yeah that weight is killing it https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Yup plus me..

well, just to show you that it wasn't just me that sucked: An NSX ran a best of 15.3, then ran 16.0. A 2002 CBR600F4i ran a best time of 13.0. An S5 GXL ran a 19.0, then a 19.91. A 3000GT VR-4 ran a 17.1. Many AWD Turbo DSM's ran mid to high 16's. The list goes on.....

Yeah.. I was surprised to see that because of the height I lost .6 seconds.. That **** makes a big difference..

Shitty track factor also, e-town is fast. that is how vosko got a 15.9 (he can drive too)



I stayed with chainsawonsteriods GUTTED, straight piped gxl, I launched harder, lost by 1/2 a car
