I have the 10.00 sec civic......................



I ran the same night that the celica GT-S broke into the 8.99 sec..... which was awsome





I just want to thank my mechanic for fixing up my car............... he should get all the credit for the 10.00 sec!!!!!!!!!!!!


and some credit to me the driver for a .900 reaction time!!!!!!!!!!!


but thanks to all for the response for my car..........

Keep watching beacuse im going to try to surpass the 10.00 sec barrier.

is the 1/8th of a mile popular where you live or why dont you do the 1/4?

 
Rep Power: 319

no its not popular... depends on the cars, track and class. I always run my vette in the 1/4 mile becuase an 1/8 doesnt exploit its full potential.
My WRX buddies race 1/4 only for the same reason.

the only 1/4 mile track is CSW and it only opens every other week. and its higher elevation so your times suck, + you only get 2-3 runs if your lucky.
1/8 mile is open every thursday and its a well preped lower elevation track. Also you typically get 3-6 runs if you get there early. it's basically better for the money.

no way I'm gonna drive 2 hrs just to go to a decent 1/4 mile track.

Rep Power: 402

so all you have is a intake and exhaust and you ran the 8th in 10secs? you have to have more than that?

 
Rep Power: 319

Nos he has

 
Rep Power: 608

60 foot time 2.000
1/8 Mile ET 10.000
1/8 Mile MPH 79.00


Is this right? How can you get a 2.0 sec 60' time with a 10 sec run?

 
Rep Power: 0

^^ I think he forgot and just put 2.00. If I remember correct he has I/E and a 50 shot running a 2.4 - 2.6 60'. with a better launch he could have 9.7's

Hey yall

^^.600 - .800 isnt reallly a good r/t. a good r/t is .500 - .599

yeah so what did you run off the bottle

 
Rep Power: 608

isn't .500 perfect ?

 
Rep Power: 0

yeah .500 is a perfect light.

 
Rep Power: 0

ive gotten like .25 rt before though i threw the slip away because i ran i bad 10.6

 
Rep Power: 0

theres also zero lights which means 0 is perfect. if thats not the way your track does it then .235 is a really bad red light. lol

 
Rep Power: 344

from what i've been told and understand that it takes .5 seconds for your brain to recognize what your eyes saw, thats why .5 is a perfect light, anything below that means you can react before you see the light switch, right?

 
Rep Power: 0

^^ no.

if you get a .500 light that means youanticipated the green light just right. if you go when you see the green light then your r/t will 1.xx. typically you take off on the last yellow light to get close to the .500 mark.

it takes 1/2 a second or .500 for the lights to hit green. thats why .500 is perfect.

 
Rep Power: 344

how do people get .489's in the NHRA?

 
Rep Power: 0

i ussally launch right after the third yellow light of course i have only been twice and ran like four times total that is why i think if i spend more time after it drys up i can hit 10.2 or 10.3 cause i got 10.4 spinning through first pretty bad.

 
Rep Power: 0

I dunno bout the NHRA rules. there are different types of trees so you have to know which one they are using to know how good the r/t is.

theres like the sportsman tree and something else. also they dont have to wait for the three yellow lights to go. they se e2 flashes and go I believe. I'd say check nhra.com and read through the rules and stuff cause I really dont know for sure thats just my best guess.

Rep Power: 0

congrats on the 9's have you thought about a tourqe converter i heard that an after market one can take about a 1/2 a sec off your et. i have not done reserch on any cause i have a 5 spd but it might be worth your wild.

congrats! I just ordered my standalone ECU so once the damn header is ready I'll have around 30 whp mor ethen I do now. so next time I race I'll have to have a helmet and will expect to run 8.5 - 8.4 If you can get your auto civic into 8's then I'll definitely ask ya to join my team. lol cause your car would have to have a crap load of mods. lol Good luck though!
