Depending on how good you are at shifting, lauching, how good your tires are, etc.......16-17.5

11.3 is the lowest ive heard about

maybe if you got some DOHC VTEC stickers and a big spoiler you could drop that to 9.5



expect 17's

but do a search.. this has been talked about prolly 2000 times

I started out bone stock at 17.2's
keep using those 15" stock steelies with the front air pressure at 23lbs psi and the rear at 45lbs psi.

drop the clutch when the last yellow starts to turn on and your at 2,800 rpms.
This minimize the wheel spin/hop and will help you hit close to a perfect .500 reaction time.

Good luck

You will bog if you launch that at that low of an RPM. At least go to 3200.

hey FlyRice...when I launch at 3200 I get too much wheel hop still.
My sixty foot times are not the greatest...usually 2.3's

what about you?

I haven't run at the track. But on the street I get better launchs at 3200. Not any major wheelhop.

Anything below 3grand for me bogs really bad.

Have you tried launching at 5000 and feathering the clutch?

Expect low 17's...Maybe high 16's with good tires.

Edit: Oh and it also depends on the weather and the track.

If you can drive, i'd expect mid to low 16's....I think the EX's that run high 15's are definately wednesday cars...Factory Freaks if you will.

I used to launch my EX at 3800-4000

The Neon i'll launch at like 2300ish....as it has a bit more torque than a Civic..

old beater

maybe i have a factory freak if you will then, stock i got a 16.1 @ 86 mph. i usually stayed low 16's i think 16.4 is my highest time ever. i launch about 3000 every time usually works great for me. low end is defenitely missing from the civic, but that could be cause i have no restriction on the exhaust. i got boost on the way though.

Once I launched at 4800rpm, and I still beat the guy. He was driving a stock 6th gen DX. My wheels were spinning like hell, but it was funny when I smoked him.

What's that video all about 15.8 ? Hrm... I got an 2003 ex coupe NHBP and wonder how fast I can go on the tracks...

SaiyanMatador

for the times ur running u should be hitting 2.3s and faster, my best 60ft was a 2.28, a one time thing, but 2.3 in a civic are good though, right in the area u want to be to run fifteens.

First time at the track with my EX best time was a 16.5. Lowered the pressure on the tires to about 23psi and launched at 3000 RPM's. I know I coulda done better...but it was my first pass with this car. Of course I know the Body Kit is weighin me down quite a bit. But I have a fix for that.
