0-60 and 1/4 mile times
I see all these wasted topics about what cars can my car beat, what if my car raced this car, or this big fat bully at school says his car could take my car posts(usually from the younger crowd) ........... We'll instead of asking just look here.... http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html or here http://www.dragtimes.com/browse.php . These are fairly complete listings for 0-60 and quarter mile times for quite a few cars. Instead of getting a brutal beatdown, know which cars you have a chance against. I'm sure there are other sites with the same info on any cars that are not listed here... Please sticky this so not so much space is wasted on the forums about hypothetical races that most likely aren't ever going to happen anyways.
im pretty sure theres little tricks to it.
such as: which motor oil was it running, what gas, was it "tuned" in any way (lower tire psi), there are better drivers out there or even worse, etc. but they seem legit to me. good find

well, the first one is pretty much the best baseline cause its data is pulled from magazines like Motor Trend and Car & Driver. The second link is timeslips from people at the strip which can give you a decent idea, but doesn't show what mods have been done. You can tell if there is a bunch of them approx what stock is.

2003 Honda S2000 6.3 14.9 (Manual)
lol yeah those sites are real credible. mag racing and mag times are useless for the most part.
the first site you list is just mag times.
the other site does not require any type of timeslip proof, so I could go on there and say I hit a 13.1 with my stock S2000.
not that we dont appreciate the attempt at some general info, but people should take those times with a grain of salt.

^^^^^ yea they are meaningless times. There were a ton that either sounded way to high or low and there is no details. I saw a 2004 pontiac granprix GT that 14.9 next to it now my friend has one and it is not that fast at all.

On the first one GTO 5.3 in mid 13's on the second one GTO the worst one ive seen was 13.8 the rest was mid to low 13's.......but watch ill prob be at the track on feb 26th in englishtown and my luck ill run low 14's
s2000man01 and bgoetz are right. While many of those times are accurate, a lot are useless.
My car is another example. They say 16.0@ 88 for the Jetta VR6. Well, I did some heavy research and found when they actually "tested" the car, and they only tested the station-wagon automatic model, and blanketed the times for all "jetta vr6's."
That explains why I ran 15.6 stock, and I'm not exactly a pro driver.
Counter examples may include the RX8. I haven't seen anyone get close to the "magazine time" for that car... most running .8-.9 higher than the listed times. (Maybe someone did it, I don't know, but none of the guys I know)
edit- Now that I think about it, there's an RX8 guy on here.. . What'd he run? Maybe he's better than my friends.

corvette c6 4.1 0-60 quarter 12.1 with headers intake and exhaust at LACR. LACR is a very high elevation track and therefore one of the slowest in the nation. So I would give it 11.8 quarter
Go callaway performance.

Anyone that had negative comments about this post needs to get a life, it was posted just as a baseline to get an idea of what various cars can do. Any retard knows that a cars performance depends on the driver and various conditions it was tested under......... I'm sorry if alot of cars are faster than what you had previously thought, but you should be happy that there are sites out there trying to help people get an idea of what kind of performance you can expect from certain vehicles. The first site's cars are verified from reliable sources before being listed and not some person just emailing in that this car has this kind of performance. Sure one person might be able to make a car perform better than the next, but no one expects to find a site that will say "With you driving your car at this altitude, at this location, with your tires and various other mods you will run ##.## in the quarter". I was just trying to give ideas on how cars perform. If you have more reliable sources then post them.........Negativity and skepticism will get you no where in life.
BTW if you can find reliable sources (magazine reviews, etc) of the various models of civics you can email them to the owner of that first site and the webmaster will post them after he verifies the info you have given.

Therfore since there is no relevent info such as mods or 60ft, 1/8mile the thing is Fvcking useless. So sit back, shut the fvck up and take your place in the fvcking food chain noob, or start thinking of another name for when you get banned from the site.
BTW I agree that the 2003 s2000 looks incorrect, but the other one is on the fast side of what a s2000 can do stock. here is a review of what a small magazine called motor trend came up with in their testing for a 2004 s2000, but i'm sure you can out drive them right? http://motortrend.com/roadtests/coup...ee/index7.html
There is an RX8 reviewed on the same page which will show all the lightly modified civics they have no chance against an RX8 as well. As far as the grand prix is concerned i'm sure that is a typo and is for the GTP version.

here is the proof that a 2004 grand prix can do the quarter in 14.9 for the non-believer http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...gtp/index.html
again from that small magazine motor trend <----those guys must be full of **** huh! It says 15 flat but i'm thinking a skilled driver such as yourself could pull off a 14.9.......

Your orginal post came off like this:
Not like this:
You made it sound like no one ever had to ask about a car anymore cuz of these web sites you posted. when in actuality mag numbers can hardly even count for base numbers. how can you trust times when they vary as much as a full second for the same car? and the site where you can post any time you want, without proof. same thing there.

NOT THE SUPERCHARGED GTP you are talking about.
a gtp YES can run 14.9. a GT cannot.

and why would i ask why you were trapping at that speed............seen civics go faster(not in person, but from downloaded vids at the tracks).......I'm from phoenix we have plenty of quick civics here....Firebird raceway holds SCO nights. and like i said its probably a typo on the webmasters part as far as the grand prix. if you are so worried about that you should just email the guy.......I'm sure he will correct it......

I just wanted to give ppl information about various cars specs.......i'm sorry some of you took it the wrong way.....hope someone uses this post for its intended purpose and sorry for any bad information those pages may contain(hopefully people will email the webmaster with the information needed for them to be verified and fixed)...I didn't create them.
later,
chad
