LOL, with 384 WHP you certainly don't have to run a sub 13 second quarter mile to prove that the car is quick.

When people ask about the quarter mile performance of my car I just tell it like it is; I can run mid to low 13's, but a better driver with a little setup could probably turn high 12's, under ideal conditions. With all the 11 second Civics in this area that doesn't impress anyone, but I don't really care. Eleven second Civics are only good for going in a straight line.

Hahaha, I'd get in SO much trouble if I had a turbo on my S. I love the feel of the power building as a turbo spools so much that I can't operate a turbocharged vehicle without constantly experiencing the rush. As a result, I constantly drive or ride even faster and harder than I normally would, and it's a wonder I've managed to own turbocharged vehicles at all without getting arrested and having the vehicle impounded.

I love 'em, but they tempt me too much, and I'm weak.

hehe, yeah i agree! Our car just isn't strong enough to take the abuse of getting traction from a dig!

Check this video out if you want to see what a nice 60 foot might look like

13.72 in a bone stock car is IMPRESSIVE!

I'm running a CTSC/AC, a KAAZ 1.5 LSD, and 4.30:1 gears, so I'm pretty sure that under the right conditions a better driver could get the car into the very high 12's (12.9x). LOL, if I had the courage and/or didn't care about breaking the car I could do it myself, but if I'm going to break my car, I want it to be when I'm doing something that I enjoy more than drag racing. Not that drag racing isn't fun, but there are simply other things that I enjoy a lot more.

Have you posted your 13.72 time on "Drag Times?"

The 13.7 was my first run also. I was one of the first cars to make a run on the track which may of helped me cut a good 60' cuz after that is was downhill! lol.

You can def hit a high 12 judging by you mph. No need to break parts to prove it though.

I have not posted my timeslip on Dragtimes. I guess I would have to scan in next time im in at work which is Monday.
