1/8 mile times...does this seem right?

[93_f22aky]

ya theres a 1/8 mile track by me i have been meaning to go and see what i would run with my slipping clutch and other problems

[Jaga]

yea this prelude was mid 80s.... WAY before the H lol and i talked to the guy and looked under his hood... nothin but a short ram... also my buddy has a bone stock 87 mr2 and runs 10.2 in the 1/8.... he outruns me but not by alot and im runnin just an a4 and a short ram like the guy who posted this thread... idk..... never ran my cb7 nor have i seen one run its just that comparing it to other cars it seems it should be gettin at least high 10s...

well then again how could we all forget this, "Its not the car its the driver"

[sxyhnda]

very true.... and im not sure "low and slow" ever said wat tranny he was runnin.... if it was an auto that could have slowed him down as well

[Jaga]

maybe but most likely it was stick

[sxyhnda]

damn.... idk man i just feel my cb would be faster than that... i need to get my ass to the track and find out... of course i am running a 90 dx, which should be the lightest cb cuz its stripped and was b4 they loaded them up in later years....

seems pretty slow even if it was stock. keep trying man. i was running like 10.20s in stock form with no weight reduction at all. actually, i had an ACT clutch and an exhaust maybe but thats it.

last time i ran the 1/8th mile it went 8.71 @ 78mph. all motor, slicks, 2300lbs w/ driver.

[sxyhnda]

yea like i said... seems to me a stock cb five speed should hit high tens at least....

[prNonVtec4u]

those times seem dead on man. back den w/ my single cam i ran kl33n 10.6s w/ I/H/E, and H23 intake mani track conditions influence times GREATLY, don't forget.

ps. my car's auto

[bjaccord]

I run 8.60's in the 1/8, mines a stick...

[sxyhnda]

you run 8.6s?!?!?!? wat are you running? my dad runs 8.6s in a 400 horsepower chevy monza with a 4.11 final drive....

[bjaccord]

you run 8.6s?!?!?!? wat are you running? my dad runs 8.6s in a 400 horsepower chevy monza with a 4.11 final drive....

built and boosted h23 in a 90 EX

[jdm92_accorn]

if you're correct thats pretty sad for 400hp unless you mean crank hp cause if thats the case, believe it or not there is a 25-30% loss of power to the drive axle in rwd vehicles. meaning 400hp is more like 280whp-320whp. but anyway back to the car at hand, thats still not bad. our cars in stock trim should run anywhere from a 17.3-16.9 in the 1/4 and a 11.6-10.9 in the 1/8.

[93_f22aky]

my bros 93 gt mustang with a 351 runs like 6 flat in the 1/8 and 10.5 in the 1/4

but he has like every bolt on they make

[sxyhnda]

yea my dad doesn't have any official hp numbers, but he is guessing that he runs about 400 at the crank.... he has a built 350 but is runnin a 3 speed auto... if he put a stall converter in that bitch his time would drop a lot!!! his motor is built for high rpms and wit his current torque converter hes gettin off the line at like 1500 rpms and kinda boggin..... but anyway, 8.6 in a cb7? thats just bad ass...... is that car still streetable?

[bjaccord]

Other than no a/c I drive it a few times a week, full interior and stereo (No subs). I actually went through all my slips and my quickest 1/8th to date was an 8.49 @89mph, ands 1/4 is an 13.2 @105. I havent ran it at the track in almost two years but I'm trying to get back out there next weekend, if I do I'll post up some new slips. L8r
