well i only shift on street races, but at the track i let the tranny do it all, i wanna go to moroso or bradenton track and see what my quarter is, my friend has a b16 crx that runs 14.8 in a quarter, consistently, and i only lose to him by a half a car length. Oh and when at the track i power brake to about 1900 2000 rpm which is all it allows to. It spins part of 1st, chirps second, and then hooks.

The times I find a little hard to believe. I have not gotten better than a 2.6 on 60' times. Then again I have all season tires. 205/60-15. My fastest 1/8 mile were in the 10.4s at around 71 mph. Well I do have a sedan.

you have a bhg yugi, that will effect your times, and tires will effect the 60' badly. i run 2.3-2.4s, but i dont stall it up. i need to.

Still a 2.1 60' time is pretty amazing...for a stock car.

Hey i didnt say i could dawg anyone, and i have some ty used $20 Firestone 215 60 15 tires with 20% tread left, on my front 2, and my backs are just some walmart 205 60 15. I dont know maybe i just know how to drive, or my car is just one of the special ones? Its unexplainable, and if i could put my time slip on to show you guys i swear i would. but here it is once again. no mods, all stock as i stress again. R/T=.7238 60FT=2.1784 330FT=6.4229 1/8ET=9.8165 1/8MPH=72.91. On mobil 93octane pump gas. Thats all, no aftermarket mods what so ever. And honestly, i think all stock i can hit a 9.79. I mean look how close i am, i spin first gear not to mention and chirp second in an automatic. So someone give me some sort of explanation, im gonna go run tomorrow night at the track and go for that 9.79. Anyone think its possible?

Are you trying to say something Steve?

Anyways, Type II's aren't much different then Type 1's until they get going 70 or 80 +. The power gain doesn't get past the weight gain until it gets going faster.

look at my timeslip.


even with a perfect launch and NO wheel spin and a perfect hookup I could only manage a 2.5 60-foot.

My car is lighter, a manual, and had good tires, clutch held on the launches until 2nd gear which is far after the 60foot.


It just doesnt make sense.


btw, I've raced Type-I's in my Type-II even until 40mph, then I allways pulled away hard.

Are you saying you have a Type II?

I pull on Type II's in my G1, but not once we reach highway speeds.

nelson, I'm comparing since G1's are faster than G2's down low.
