Going to the drags tonight.

JDMoore · 07-02-2007, 09:05 PM

Me and my buddy are going out tonight to a strip here in AZ its hot out so im not expecting the greatest times either, also this is my first time EVER going to a track and my TW Si Sedan is completely stock. I'm going to be running stock tires and everything also there not summers either, im going to try launching at 2.5k-3k and see how it works. What im going against is his 2005 Acura TL 3.2 auto tran but has the triptronic in it, who do you think will win?

fazm · 07-05-2007, 12:55 AM

what track did u go to on a monday?

JDMoore · 07-05-2007, 05:45 AM

A "track" called Dysart Road :]

And I lost also.. I missed 3rd with a small grind also, but I do think his 3.2 V6 with 280hp is faster stock vs stock. He only had about 1-1.5 cars on me, I was expecting worse.. So now I'm thinking about some boost FTW!

BUT, I purchased my car from Arrowhead Honda two Thursdays ago and got an extended warranty to cover me till 7years/100k and if I boost, don't ALL warranty become null and void or just power train?

JDMoore · 07-05-2007, 06:02 AM

What do you mean exactly? I already raced him and lost he has VTEC also so.. uhmm yeah sort of lost on what you mean

JDMoore · 07-05-2007, 06:06 AM

Are you saying I should of won hands down?

BLU BY U · 07-05-2007, 07:02 AM

street racing is bad mmmmkay

ibanez37 · 07-05-2007, 11:56 AM

If you didn't goto the track, why were you talking about times? Methinks it's a streetracing coverup thread! Anyways, TL should probably win so good loss.

Well technically not making excuses.. Dysart road used to be used for a track all the time. THEN boom housing market exploded and its more suburbanized out here now but we were still at least 6 miles from ANY civilization.

ibanez37 · 07-05-2007, 02:17 PM

I was more interested in your track times if you went to the track. Not many AZ Si's visiting them...or pulling off good times for that matter.

mastadon · 07-05-2007, 05:17 PM

its too hot here. I'll go in the winter. I ran a mid 15 and felt i could have done better when i went a month ago. Didn't know how to lauch a FWD car very well and got lots of wheelspin.

Did the exact same.. A Cobalt SS owner congratulated me for breaking into the 15's and said the only other Si he had seen was 16.x + all night. AZ sucks for drags. 300whp Cobalt couldn't break 14's.

jmillz · 07-05-2007, 07:02 PM

i ran a 14.7 @ speedworld with I/E in jan. i just went last sat. with I/RH/E and only ran 14.9. summer in AZ= badtimes

Kurt, reason I posted that was because I'm new to Honda/Acura scene and cars so I just realized that when he opened his hood it said VTECH on his also so yeah news to me, do ALL Honda/Acura cars have VTECH I wouldn't think the Ridgeline, or CR-V types do..

ibanez37 · 07-06-2007, 11:23 AM

VTEC, but yes most current Hondas have a form of it, whether it be for performance or gas savings.
