The video is up!

Here it is folks, my 15.8 run on a stock Civic.

It's really bad quality, but it gets the point across. Opinions, and remarks are appreciated[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].

um, that's not a stock civic. you can tell the way it launches off the line. there is way too much low end torque there. i mean jeez, you even take the low end torque muscle car for the first couple hundred feet or so (even though his reaction was just a bit behind yours). sorry, but we all know our power is in VTEC and mostly in the high end of our rpm. and you had basically no wheel spin either. so where did all that low end power come from??? not a stock civic, i can tell you that.

the other guy went 13.4 @ 104
and the civ went 15.8 @ 918mph...even if it's 91.8mph, thats wrong. I suspect that the timing equipment was bad for that lane...

hmmm..read this...this is some good speculation....

how exactly did you run a 15.8 with a 2.5sec 60ft?
compare that timeslip to this one from a MODDED 99 EX 5 speed:

The timing wasn't wrong, I went to the tower and they told me what happened. 15.8@91.8:0.

S2000man01 and screaminDOHC: What else do you need? As time passes I'm sure you'll see more stock 1/4 mile times appear that are in the 15.8's. Maybe then you'll change your minds?

doubtful..and it's doubtful you'll see many stock EX's hitting 15.8's

lets see...i'll be a mag racer here..stock DOHC neon times ; 15.8 Stock Si Times (99-00) 15.7 Stock contour SVT times ; 15.4

stock 02si times 16.2



no....dont believe it..never will...I had a 99 ex..127hp.....you can argue all you want, both cars are put up IDENTICAL performance numbers...

I just want to add my input in this...

the trap speed.. 91.8mph? yeah thats pretty high.. with calculation.. thats about a high 14 sec car.. not a high 15...

I dont think high 15 in our car is impossible, but the ET and the trap speed doesn't seem to agreed.

also your 60ft seems a bit high for such a good ET time...

I'm not doubting, I'm just stating the facts. its obvious you did run something, since the video there proves it. heh.

I think you did run 15.8 sec, but the trap speed might be wrong.

i believe you raced..and yeah..60 ft seems high..as does MPH for a 15.8 sec run....and i still doubt very much that even the most skilled driver can get a 15.8 out of a STOCK EX...

Ok, I will have pics tommorow, no actually I'll have something better. I will have a movie showing my engine, so as to prove the date it was taken. You guys still don't believe I ran a 15.8, but I just showed you the video...

Well as I stated Grey, he showed us a video of a car that supposedly ran a 15.8 @91mph. Cars that run 91mph trap speeds are high 14 second cars. (ie. my friends integra 14.92@93mph). The video was of a civic, and now he wants to show us his engine bay. How do we know the engine bay he shows us is the same as that of the car we saw race?? Even then, I think their equipment was faulty, because a 15.8 second car would not be at 91mph unless it was not stock and something gave it a good boost at the end. (cough...nos.... cough cough) And there's still all that magical low end power you got... from... where??? Is your vtec backwards?? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]

Ok, I am going to give you a better quality video, where you can see my "SOHC VTEC" Stickers..proving that is MY car.
I don't know how it's possible that's NOT my car, hmmm, maybe I stole his timelsip and have the exact same looking car! No..sorry.

Next, I am going to film this website, which"ll show the time and day it is. Next I will run outside pop my hood and show you my engine.

Remember this was done 3 days ago, I doubt I would remove any aftermarket parts in three days to prove my car was stock. Especially anything significant (NOS, Turbo, Engine swap).

And maybe the trap speed was off, BUT the quarter mile is right, and that's what matters.

Hey...maybe I'm just a good driver, remember I can back this 15.8 up with a 16.04 and a 16.1. So obviously the time is right.

Thank you..have a nice day.
