"Car and Driver" rated it at a 13.2 last year... your prelude is going to need some nice tires to get him from a stand still.

There have been a few bone stock STis hitting 12s, but granted, they know how to drive their asses off. When it comes down to it, if your up against a good driver from a dig, expect something in the low, low 13s, if a bad driver from a dig, expect anything upwards of 14s, and if from a roll, consider it a mid-high 13 second car.

Haha wow, if someone puts an STi in the 14s its because they have no idea how to launch.

I ran a Evo at the 1/8th mile track... I had a better 60 foot than the guy, but he pulled past me and put a car on me before the finish line. He ran a 9.9 something.. I ran a 10.0 at 70.3 mph... Thats pathatic.

My gst beat one from a dig by like 4-5 lengths. He launched perfectly and must have gotten 5 lengths just off the line....Now given my eclipse wasn't stock, I still expected to lose....
