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...

well, it would take more than a good racer to do 2.0xx times in a fwd d17...
it would require some tricked out tires, such as drags or something. And 2,183 or whatever plus person, is bout 2,300... and it would take full bolt ons and WAY MORE THAN 250lbs to get 15.1's. its possible, such as he did it. but hes not telling you what he used for a reason.

Rep Power: 0 got a slip with 60ft and 1/8 ET and Trap? Did you spray in 1st gear? With that trap speed you should be in the low 14's. Get a bottle warmer and build that PSI up and you could possibly trap over 100mph which would put you into the 13's. Good job though. Now clean that **** out and get back out there.

15.17 @ 102mph w/ 15" stock rims w/ FALKEN Z-Rated Tires plus all bolt-ons so far,,,.........Thats about all I can squeeze out of my little beast, soon I will have to depart my 7th Gen, I am looking at sliding into an STI, w/ a fatty stage 2 turbo upgrade soon after, I want to sh_t on EVOs and Mustang Muscle MeatHeads, In my opinion the new line of subaru's are one of the hottest cars to come out of Japan- after test driving one your sold, peace....

The launch is about the only place you'll receive an advantage while driving an AWD car and AWD forces you to sacrifice acceleration pretty much at any speed once you're already moving, plus you're looking at more stuff to repair down the road because of the more complex drivetrain and the aftermarket parts for the WRX are pretty expensive in comparison to anything else so I say fvck AWD. Too many downsides!

Rep Power: 0 102 is good for a high 13 sec run. Where you spinning in every gear or something? You gotta be boosting or spraying if your trapping that high?????
