Actually, im the boyfriend that is spoken of. And if you really wanna compare times and try to talk crap about a tc, maybe you 2 should be the ones doing some research. I run 15.4 with my stock tc on stock tires. (only mod is axle back exhaust, which if either of you 2 know anything about cars i might of gained a whopping 1-2 hp from it). A SI is SUPPOSED to run a high high 14-low 15 stock. but generally you see most people running anywhere from the low 15s to low 16s with a stock SI, which is on par with stock times for a tc. The reason being is that the tc has more torque than horsepower (161hp 163lb/ft of torque at the crank) and the SI is, how can i say, lacking in the torque area. So the tc will naturally pull a couple cars at least off the launch on a SI, but the SI SHOULD walk the TC back down on the top end of the track. The only place that a SI would shine against any tc would be from a roll, never from a dig because the SI just doesnt have the torque to pull as hard from a stand still. And if anyone still disagrees with me, i will be more than happy to meet anyone at the track and prove it to them. Also, if anyone wants to talk about F/I, a turbo tc is still on par with a turbo si. When my tc was turbocharged i ran 13.3 at the track on a 90 degree day with 72% humidity and spinning through 1st and 2nd like usual (so on a cooler day with less humidity times woulda been much quicker), and that was on stock tires, stock engine and stock clutch. I dynoed 248hp and 258tq. That was also on a very very conservative tune, was at 10.5A/f ratio. Coulda gotten way more power outta it but chose not to. And easily coulda been in the 12s with Drag Radials or Slicks...

What were your 60 foot times when you went 15's? Just because you have 20 more lbs of torque doesn't mean you launch harder
