Talk about dissapointment:
The new Acura RSX only pulls a 16.1 in the 1/4 mile, and Hasports Civic only pulls a 15.6. I have a 92 Acura Integra with an intake, short shifter, MSD, and a pretty hollow exhaust (basically not much down to the car) and I pull a 15.6 roasting the hell out of crappy tires. It'll do better as soon as I get some better tires and lauch a little better. Can someone explain this to me?

BTW The Acura RSX-->
HELLO??? Correct me if I'm wrong here guys, but the HaSport Si has a RSX Type S engine swap in it. It has the K20A2 engine from a Type S. Still though, the stock Si with the K20A3 ran a 16.2. Chad is right, the RSX is a little on the heavy side, hence the similarity in times. Who knows, maybe I misunderstood the statement.

RSXs are running high 14 to 15 flats. If you read the article you see that it was over 110 degrees outside and very humid. Hondas are very temp sensitive
Because they are the cheapest to buy, build up, get parts on, etc...

They also said in the article that it was really hot outside and that had it been alot cooler, the car would have run much better, plus we all know that hondas run better when its cooler...

I could put $6k in a Turbo2 and wax any (factory) Vtec thing you have.
The $600 goal is a bit closer, but it could still be done. 87-92 (factory) Vtec anything = 87-92 Turbo2, 93+ (factory) Vtec anything = 93+ RX7 TT

Yup, 6K is the magic number for everything you need to build and run a 400HP 13BT.

Your a fucktard dude, you've been flooding this info around with absolutely no idea of what your talking about. I have an RSX, a REALLY HEAVY ONE!, and my stock time pulled a 15.3, no mods. With my aem intake I turned a 14.7, all of these are stock tires. Read the article, the nitrous aem rsx pulled a 14.2, with the No2 set to kick in at 5000rpms. It had engine internals done, and I think aftermarket tires, and springs. So those times did seem slow as shit, but I'll tell you straight up that the car is not as slow as your percieving it to be. Read all you want, I get my information from experience.
