15.8 second 1/4 mile info!

Hwoody...CONGRATS

this can be done...look this site is pretty precise so check it out...
http://www.fantasycars.com/derek/

i looked at hp calculator..and to get a 15.8 u should have around 143 hp at the flywheel, and 110 @ the wheels....
and in 1/4 mile calculator i put 2200 as the weight of the car, he could've taken out the backseat etc... and 127 as the hp...and it gave me a 16.0 so IT IS POSIBLE...MAYBE A CHIP OR CAI OR SRI OR SOMETHING HE HAD...maybe not....but it's a great time

he said his car was stock, and we all know the EX puts 127 to the flywheel..thats why ppl are gettin on him, specially since some of the times on his slip are a little questionable

yeah i just checked the weight for our cars and here is the weight this is from Honda.com

2001/02 civic coupe ex at/mt 2595/2555.
2001/02 civic coupe lx at/mt 2507/2474.
2001/02 civic coupe dx at/mt 2452/2403.
2001/02 civic coupe hx cvt/mt 2507/2436.
2001/02 civic sedan ex at/mt 2615/2564.
2001/02 civic sedan lx at/mt 2515/2465.
2001/02 civic sedan dx at/mt 2471/2421.

I hope this helps clear up on how much are cars weight stock. This will vary with OEM kits, cd changers, etc.

instead of wasting your time on a calculator go out to the track and do it for real to get real numbers. wen you take it to the track make sure to save ur time slip and compare it t othe hp calculator.
