i could be wrong but why is it that your car is a 04 but your date on your time slip is july of 01 hmmmm?????
i will say this for probably the 10th time now.
the track machine prints the wrong dates at that track. i called the track and verified this with a manager, as well as verified the date that was printed for the date he ran.
now for god sakes let it die, and people get over it. he ran a 15.1.

i was just wondering if maybe he ran that in a different civic or something and just had them prints up to show what he ran in a different civic,,,,,,thanks for letting me know...sorry but if you put up that kinda shit its vulnerable to get that kind of response,,,u know...

I'm not taking sides, since I've seen some incredible times first-hand, but there are some things you need to clear up, Redline.
1- They (clubrsx posters) say that the timeslip you posted proving your 15.1 is from 2001, when your car is a 2004. Can you post the timeslip again, or link us to it to see this?
2- You WERE stock when you ran a 15.1 ? If not, what were your mods?
The clubRSX post says that you ran that time with 250lbs weight reduction and slicks. My personal concerns are,
1- 250lbs may not be enough to justify a near .7 drop in time. 500lbs maybe, but you're dealing with a >100 wheel torque car. D-series motors just don't have much pull. V8's can get away with being heavy.
2- 90 MPH is a little low for a car that has to depend on high end to get it through the 1/4. That sounds more like a WRX time and mph. Low 60' and E.T., but low MPH for the time. Honda cars are usually trap in the mid 90's to hit 15.0.
3- Any 2.0 60' from ANY FWD vehicle, slicks or not, is insane. That implies a lot of torque to pull you off the line, as well as a lot of grip. FWD 4-cylinders have neither. What size slicks were you running?
It's not "impossible," just very "improbable."
i drag race every year, infact i am forced to because of my sponsers...
and i would like to add a few things
about numbre 1. is linked to number 2 quite a bit. but to use general numbers 250 isnt going to get you .7 its impossible
number 2. is the biggest crock of crap i have ever heard. he obvuiously has no idea what hes talking about. 90mph for a low 15's is right on target... a wrx with 90mph traps would have a lower 1/4 mile time.. i did 14.5@93, 14.8@96 ( spun...) 13.6@102 and 13.66@104....
and a 2.0 60 foot time with out slicks is im possible... i know for a fact you had to have slicks. you dont need torque for this, all you need is a decent let of slicks and reving the motor and floating the gas . i have an lsd tranny and decent tires, and with nitrous netted a very low 2.1 so there is no way a n/a 1.7 beat me with out even an lsd....
but a 15.1 is possible... with wind behind you, a track with low elavation, slicks, tons of mods and an angel pushing you...
if you did that all motor, you still can do anything but fi and nitrous. so thats very possible. at 2300lbs, im guessing it would require slicks and about 160hp and 110torque... so thats very duable.... good job by the way...

No kiddding... I've seen this argument explained so many times to numerous new members who just joined and are too lazy to search or read... He ran a 15.1 and he will probably run better in the future.

2- he wasn't stock
---
1- according to his profile, it's a 200 pound weight reduction and there is a long thread on how he did it
3 - idiot. 2.0 is an insane 60' from ANY fwd car? ... I've seen many, many times on H-T that have a 2.0 60' time or less ... I've seen as low as 1.6xx
Dont go into the 14's when you get back brad because no-one can believe you now let alone if you make it into the 14's with only bolt-ons, weight reduction, and DR's. You dont have to explain yourself 60 times to people who join up to say your times are impossible when people (who doubted you) have validated your times and now believe you.

wtf, i said it was possible, but not with road tires. and i know its not stock.. it cant be... read the post before talking...
and 200 isnt that hard to do. i did 95lbs just with sound material in my car, not to mention, interior, ps, a/c.
