Again, you're statement was that a 15sec FWD street car/non turbo, should be a 8.3sec 1/8th mile car. While I can't show a FWD street car that runs 8.3 1/8th's, I can show plenty of them that run 15sec 1/4's...feel free to look at nearly any of them. RSX-S, Toyota Celica GT-S, let's dip a little lower...Chevy Cobalt SS(even FI'd!). All 3 of those cars run 14.5-15.5. None of them run anywhere CLOSE to 8.3sec 1/8th mile. So pls, back up your so called 'a 8.3sec 1/8th mile car only runs 15sec 1/4 miles' because by what I see, it seems every 15sec 1/4 mile runs 9+ 1/8th's. Has anyone in this thread agreed with your logic of ET's? Anyways, how do mod's change the fact that a 8.3sec 1/8th doesn't = 15?

and this....'Your last post: Stock FWD's (I assume this 06 eclipse included) can't even be expected to do the said 8.3 1/8mi, let alone anything lower than 15's.' Are you just mis-reading the post and don't understand basic English? I've said an 06 Eclipse will not cut 8.3 1/8th miles. A FWD car that can cut an 8.3 1/8th is going to run a low 13 at worst. More likely, it'll be in the mid-upper 12's. A 15sec car will cut 9.5+ in the 1/8th more than likely.
So you've just agreed again, that 8.3 is a speculated number...I wasn't even the one that came up with it.

My bottom line was I see it doing 15's. You seem to agree (though you can't see it) that 15s are a good number for a stock FWD.

I even said my projection on getting there from a speculated 8.3 1/8 mi (which wasn't mine to begin with) wasn't accurate and never claimed it was accurate...so why in the hell are you arguing with me?

If even I said that the math I was using wasn't accurate, what else is there to say?

Yet and still you still posted throwing out more numbers to prove my self stated inaccurate numbers wrong. So I asked you to PM me one of your slips...still haven't gotten it.

But you're still fucking arguing. And for what? To reveal in the magnificence of your own fucking posts?

Do you really have that much time? Is it really that fucking serious?

Congratulations on being right about some shit even I admitted wasn't completely right in the first place...Hope you enjoy it.

You're an ass. And I'm done with you.
