once again to get a true sense of how fast a car truly is you must take a average across multiple cars and tracks IMO. I am sure you ran exactly what you said you did.....in my mind you gain nothing by telling a lie on a internet car forum.

Now that I hang out around tracks and people w/ superfast cars (420whp STi's for example), I realize that those times w/ perfect drivers doesn't mean much. Sure a GT500 is good for a 12.7 quarter mile, but could I or most of the people on this site do it? Probably not. The driver matters sooo much when it comes to things like quarter miles.

the driver matters all the time. hence why so many people post 'drivers race' when people that 'stock si vs xxx car, who will win?' thread

this thread has me REALLY wanting to go to a 1/4 mile track and see what i can do. just for kicks.

but theres nothing nearby... at all.

I assure you on the srtforums, which i used to live on, the average stock time was ~14.0 to maybe a 14.2. Then again I have seen a few 15s runs as well from guys dumping the clutch in a car with way to much power. It really is all relative

NO RACING HEADER. For a stock Si, it would be between 14.8 to 15.2 IMO.

here is the link.
My best time so far.

I never said your slip lies. What I do believe is that the track that you go to and the track that I go to might be slightly off from eachother. I wouldn't rule that out for a second. I might be able to hit 15.0 in your track and you may get a 15.0 in my track. Who knows. I buddy of mine who is a really good driver only hits 14.8 w/ an intake. I don't think that it's a bad time in the least. I'd love to hit that. I don't see how he could improve much to tell you the truth, unless he upgraded his tires. I don't see how any stock Si can hit 14.8.

wow man thats awesome i need to hit up the track more to get more practice in. I was running 15.1-15.2 stock and thats the first time i had ever been to the track. Now i have injen cai, greddy evo II, comptech header, rt high flow cat, and hondata and i went one time after that in the summer and ran a 14.6 ...i kept wheel hoppin like a mother f****er

Ive hit 14.8 twice, and 14.9 about 7 times on my stock si. its possible.

maybe he has a 'factory freak'?

i doubt a 7-8whp difference would account for .3-.6 second different in the 1/4. (with the same driver)... but then again... i dont know much about racing

I would think you'd hit more than 14.6 w/ that set-up. Have you gotten better than stock tires?

Ya I have Nitto Neo Gen plus light volks wheels and had the buddy club suspension on at the time ....this is just my first stick and havent had much practice with launching..

Have you gone to more than one track to verify that you could hit the same time elsewhere. I think that some tracks just make your car seem faster. I can't prove it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

[BlackSi10]

plus i would try about 7 times and just be really pissed after those times and just leave.....i need to just go and run like 20 times until i get it down.

Even so, you said you hit 15.1-15.2 stock. Something doesn't seem right. Is it that much more difficult to launch w/ the extra hp?

Yes. Ive been to 3 different tracks total, with the same results.

[BlackSi10]

ya i know it seems weird...i didnt understand either. So I went and got it dynoed to see if maybe my mods were losing power or something. I dynoed at 208 whp and 156 wtq though so i dont know
