It is enough... that is why I did not reference the "race" at all. It is what it is and I am not concerned about that.

I just see you post whp and 1/4 mile times that your car should have in the majority of your posts in this forum, but no real times or numbers.

So whaddya say we run 'em.... Even though your Motor Trend has 550hp to the 500hp that my Car and Driver has, I tore a few pages out to reduce some weight so it should be a good run.

yeah maybe you COULD spell beat correct for once. The auto boosted civic was compleate speculation there are a ton of variables involved. And I never said beat I said keep up suprisingly well. Hotrod has over 1000 posts so it is not my gf and why would he lie for me?? 130 is just a rough guess and I in now way claim that it is not, it is not my fault that you don't like what you hear. I am not some stupid noob I have been a member of honda-tech since 2003 and know a **** load about the car that I drive including a rough guess on hp #s

The thing is I have never made any claims to times or #s that A.) did not have a huge range, or B was not acknowleged as being a compleate speculation. I have no problem going to the track and plan too the problem is the closest one is 1hr away and today was the first day in a while that was over 32

Tell me exaclly what am I trying to prove. I mean give me a time that I said I would run............................................... ........you can't can you the only reference to time that I have ever given was a 1 second range. If it is me proving that my civic is fast I know that it is not fast and have never once said that it was. Infact I am looking at different cars right now

Ok enough is enough we can argue all day. If you go to the meet then there is a good chance we will see one another and if you still have the same impressions of me (stupid ricer that knows nothing about cars and hates autos) then I would be very suprised

no. drag tree lights are set exactly .500 seconds apart, and cutting a perfect light is a .500. why?

because, REACTION TIME STARTS when the last amber light is lit, and ENDS when you actually first move the car. if you react to the last amber light, you will launch your car as the light turns green to go. again this is .500 seconds. .400 for the pro tree.

regardless, you are still negating the fact that your speedo is off a couple mph (at 80mph you are probably really only going 77-78mph).

i can't believe we are still arguing about this. we are obviously not getting through to you.

what we are looking for proof on is you claiming that you think you can run high 15's, and that your trap is going to be "accurate" per your "stop watch" method.

with that, i'm locking this before we get a flood of new members from other forums.
