Here you go:



Tire pressures at about 28 psi, 1/8 tank of gas, no spare or jack. Otherwise as stock as stock can get.

Like I said though, it isn't a common occurence, it took me many runs to do this, I was able to do two 14.7s finaly with this being the best one. Many other 14.8-14.9s...

Had it not been for the fragile drivetrain, I would have surely pulled a 13.5X with the s2000 by now. I didn't get many runs throough, only about 20...

Stock for stock, I can say that the s2000 is a 13.8 second car as much as the lude is a 14.9 second car if both are well driven, anything more and they will require an almost perfect run and conditions.

So you're saying the RSX is now the best coupe under $30k? Excuse me while I laugh my ass off.

Yup. it's true. It's been done a few times. 14.7 is not a shock in a stock lude. now 14.6 is not gonna happen without bolt-ons.

I posted about an encounter with a turbo Prelude. You guys seem pretty smart, how well do they do?
