Anyone realize that a 9.1 in the 1/8 is easily a high 13 second 1/4 mile time? JCELegend, where in FL are you located. I would love to have another FL meet and see you ride.
I've since lost my time slip, buuuuut:
15.8 @ 93 mph - stock.
if you had the amount of hp and torque that you claim, you should be running a 14.7. I call bs on your numbers in your sig. i ran a 15.2 with 192 ft/lbs and 183 hp. both my numbers are at the wheels. if i had your numbers i would be running in the lower 14s, and i would be in the low low 13s with my nitrous setup added to those kind of numbers.
yet all you can pull is a 15.8. you must be a terrible driver or you lied about your numbers. period.
I'm sure the numbers in his profile aren't from when his car is stock...
I think I remember a thread where he got those numbers stock. The dyno must not have been calibrated properly. Being that it is already practically impossible for a stock type II to produce more torque than power, the numbers indicate 250+ at the wheels, which would be unlikely for even a factory freak. Mrlewis82 ran a 15.6 (I think) on his 95 coupe -stock motor, 170k, original clutch, and 18's. Unless you made a 2nd to 5th shift and finished the run in 5th, I can't imagine a 15.8 with those dyno numbers.

WOW MAN NICE TIMES!!!
And this is on a Type I automatic sedan with well over 300k miles, just about stock?? Damn.....amazing times. Usually 5 speed Legends run mid 15's. Rangerjoe's 5 speed coupe with mods ran 15.5.
Whats your secret? lol Maybe you have high compression due to carbon buildup since it is high mileage. Damn Legends get faster as they get older, haha.
Oh yeah, and looks like your timed results proved that manual shifting is slower than letting the auto shift for you. I think the only thing manual shifting is good for is a rolling start.
Oh I thought you knew. Well I have a cold air intake and chip. When I tried manual shifting up to 7k it felt very weak. I think an exhaust would really help out. It is getting the air and fuel it needs but it has a hard time expelling it all out.
Fastest almost stock(had a cone filter on) time was 15.987 or somewhere in there. So a .31 improvement over stock isn't bad. Tyler ran 15.50? So I am pretty close.

R/T means nothing unless your actually in eliminations. You need to get the 60' foot down. notice the runs with 2.5 or lower how you run the faster et- 1/4mile?
manually shift from 1st to d3. on launch hold the brake an stall the converter by floorin it right before your about to take off. at redline shift into d3 and thats it.
Went to the track last night. Only got a couple runs in. Picked up about 1.5mph over my previous best run, my et stayed the same. Disregard the reaction time, I was more concerned with a good run and wasn't worried about the rt.
My mods are Stage II Bayou chip, test pipe, and resonators removed from stock airbox.

good topend, however you need to work on that launch you 60ft is bad for having a manual. I know traction sucks but get sticker tires
