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.

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.

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.....
