whats crackin

an old friend of mine just came into my office to pay his bill and we started talking about cars...he bragged to me that he ran a 14.9 in his 00 GTS. i told him he needs to work on his driving lol. but i dunno, just seemed like a slow time...or is that good for a GT-S thats pretty stock. maybe intake/exhaust

anyways..just curious

seems pretty good to me for a gts. Intake, exhaust, tires would probably do the trick.
Those cars run about a 15.4 stock I think?

i think thats about average? a stock rsx-s runs low 15's (02-04) and the gts is supposely its compeition?

that's a VERY good time for a stock GTS.

Stock TypeS usually runs 14.9 with a decent driver, if I'm not mistaken thats neck and neck with the GTS, so yeah, 14.9 is passable.

looks like a good time for a stock GTS
my friends AUTO gts (00) is so freaking slow...omg what a difference 6speed makes...
my friend's auto Gts prolly would run 17's in 1/4..lol

yup thats a pretty good time for intake and exhaust. Not bad at all.

from what i saw, the manual gt ran 17.5 with i/h/e

your friend is a loser for buying it in an auto. autos are for losers. that's why honda only offers the type s in a manual. loser loser loser

sorry for the double post, better make it a triple post to make up for it.

yeh i beat my homegirls auto gts with my vic was hella funny

Ummm.... .i know of a couple "auto" cars that would wipe every car on this board.... In both heads-up AND bracket racing.

And yes, you can make claims like that when you're talking about supercharged LS1's... that ususally get .521 or better r/t's, and run between 10.98-11.03 EVERY SINGLE TIME.


Yes, I understand that automatic transmissions have a natural disadvantage in low-power drag racing due to their drivetrain losses, but when you're serious about bracket racing, you want to be as consistent as possible. Then, automatic transmissions rule. There also comes a point where a manual transmission slows you down, simply because you can't shift fast enough.



edit... and to answer the thread topic... GTS's (fed spec) will run anywhere from 14.8 (professional driver) to mid 15's. Mostly, low 15's.

as everyone said, 14.9 is doable...my sister's exboyfriend had an 01 GTS and at the track i was usually putting down low/mid 14's and he was consistent with 14.8-14.95, he just had clutch/flywheel, intake
