You won't belive me but it's true.

I did a run on the highway by my house (cause I was bored) and, turned out some interesting results.

0-60 mph - 10 sec
1/4 mile - 12 sec

I have a completly stock 87 LX sedan

me = confused

[spnrx]

I've seen horrid numbers from you guys in previous threads so I fig I'll give it a try. and well this is the end result

What's confusing?

[B16KILLA]

No possible way your stock carb motor would hold together for a 12 sec run, let alone flow the air/fuel to make you run a 12 sec pass. I could go on forever about this...Where you rolling down hill..........Okay one last thing if your doing 0-60 in 10sec and the quarter in 12 well then your finishing your 1/4 mile pass at a whopping 66 mph...... HA! try again.

[BITESIZE]

LMAO!!! Biggest Horse Shat I've heard in a while.

[86AccordLxi]

Yeah, I'm gonna have to say that 12 seconds is about 5 or 6 seconds off from reality. Even so, I'm almost tempted to lock this from the get-go so people need to keep themselves in check, k?

[MessyHonda]

you sure its 1/4 of mile and not 1/8...im not trying to make fun of u but i get like 12 secs on 0-60 and like 17 on 1/4 and i only have a K&N filter...plus i got like 60pounds of stereo stuff...my amp is like 18 pounds...box with subs is like 30 and stereo and wires

[SQ is the SQUAD]

maybe me meant a 1/4 mile already going top speed

[spnrx]

Wow lots of flames. I can say this I have nothing to lie about I just figure ya'll wouldn't belive me but ok I'll do it again in a couple of weeks but then I'll have vid to show for it. I have a K & N filter as well. But besides that all stock. even fucked up tires and front wheel bearing.

I understand your flames but like I said above in the title. "You won't believe this but it's true."

[ghettogeddy]

what are u using to get these times

[86AccordLxi]

Dude, there's NO way you ran a 12sec quarter mile from a standing start. A physical impossibility. How did you measure your time/distance/speed?

My fiance was using a stop watch in the passenger seat, odmeter (SP) , Speedometer

[86AccordLxi]

So you were just using the odometer to demarcate when you have finished a 1/4 mile? You should go to a drag stip and try again. Read any magazine review or any other drag times from any other guy here and you'll see that these cars run 16.8-17.5 stock. Don't you think it odd that you supposedly cut 5 seconds off your quarter mile time in a stock carbed accord? Really--be reasonable.

Alex

[spnrx]

ok I honestly do belive that it is a bit odd but I have to say that these cars can perform when they want to. I think we have a track somewhere on the out skirts of town I'll look into it and I'll repost with my times.

[89AccordResto]

You're an idiot.

[spnrx]

You're an idiot.

Thanks asshole but you'll fuckin see when I get offical times. Then you'll be the fuckin idiot!

[A20A1]

You guys are asking for a ban.

I think you can get mid 16's even low 16 on some rare occasions in the carbed 3g... but consistently no... you'll be 17-18sec 1/4th mile untill you start opening the intake and exhaust and work the head.

Yes - Please don't attack others... just because he did, doesn't mean you need to. Be the mature one and leave it at that.

Cool I apologize

[paso100]

Howz about NOBODY saying anything else till you DO get accurate times, lol.
Then let us know...... I would have to challenge my concept of reality if you broke 13 sec, lol.

LOL ok I will most definately post those but to find the track now.

[paso100]

This is by no means as accurate as a track, but ...

Let's say your speedo is somewhat accurate.

Find a straight stretch of road with markers along the side.

Go a steady 60mph and start your stopwatch at a marker you prefer. That translates into 60m/1hr (60 min.) = 1 mile per minute = 1/4 mi in 15 sec.

It will take you exactly 15 sec. to pass 1/4 mi. at 60mph. So ... go a steady 60mph, pick a marker, start your watch, and pick a marker at the 15 sec. mark.

That will give you your unofficial quarter mile track.

[Selfmindead]

After owning a civic that ran 14.5 down the 1/4 with time slip & all, the 3g feels about 1/3 of the power. I don’t have emissions bullshit either being New Zealand new, there are alot of inaccuracies you can run into timing a 1/4 mile the way you did, like your girlfriends reaction time pushing the stop watch & Speedo calibration etc...but yeah go to the track & see what ya car can do.
