my cb7 is SLOW!!!

[quickangel93]

the other day i clocked it at 17 secs. its slow.

i raced a SI at night, and he got 3 car lengths

tonight race a 93 civic and he pulled on my by half a car.


i think my fuel filter is BADD. so im trying to figure out some things now.

[Bongo]

Isn't that roughly the stock quarter mile time for our cars? I'm probably wrong but I always thought it was about 17. Do you have any mods? And do you maintain the car well? Poor maintinence can make a car very slow.

[tunerman]

i'm pretty sure a cb7's stock quarter mile is 17.6.

[NAiL05]

Car and Driver posted up a 17.1 on an EX accord I think it was 90-91 though forgot. But then there is this video of a stock DX running like 16 somethin.

[tunerman]

you have to also take in consideration that car motors get weaker as time goes. if you drive your car hard then it won't be as strong as a motor that has not been.

[d112crzy]

i got 16.5 with my stock f22a1. you guys must suck at driving. shit, ive know of people getting 16 flat with just an intake.

[aznpnoyracer]

yeah you guys are correct, the stock 1/4 for our cars is average of 17 mids. even with I/H/E and other small bolt ons will only probably bring you in the high 16s at the most. thats why Im cruisin with H duce duce. high 14s baby.

[blackcb7]

have you taken it to the track?do you have a time slip to show your high 14's?

[minoreparations]

you should look into doing a compression test on your F22. that'll tell you how healthy your motor is right there.

[koolkoreanked]

My cb-7 ran 15.9-16.2 stock all day long.

[Stealthman80]

ok I timed me 0-60 time witha stopwatch and it was like 12 seconds with me and my friend, and about 11 seconds with just me. my cars a tank thats why its slow

The reality check thread of the world. Our car's aren't rocketships in stock form (omg!).

A stock Civic EX will beat a stock CB. My friend's 92 Si would leave me behind anytime we played around. (before you say anything, the 92-95 Si was more or less an EX hatch with rear disc and no power windows/locks).

I doubt my car with a professional driver would crack into the 16's. Somehow I'm still semi-okay with that.

true that. accords were never meant to be speed demons on the road, but rather luxury vehicles (well somewhat). Without an h22, turbo, or highly modified f22, i wouldn't be expecting to run anything great on the track or speeding down the freeway at high acceleration or speed.

i own a newer accord now, and its still not that fast, f23a5, and im okay with that. It moves me from place to place fine. if i wanted something faster i would have gotten just that.

I have seen EX's break into the low 16's stock.

A lot of it has to do with setup, condition and driver.

Auto/manual also makes a huge difference.

I hit 17.3 fully loaded with everything on the car, in street trim. That was auto, 210K or so, and a track temp well above 100, with bolt ons.

Had I prepped the car as most people do, I could potentially have gotten a 16.9 that day. I could probably get about a 16.5-16.7 in the winter when it cools off.

But yes, it is a severe reality check for all those who think if they put a big loud cannon on it, it runs 12's.

Very true Scott. There are many variables that must be taken into consideration. I also believe that, unless you have a car that will pin you against the seat, most cars won't feel blazingly fast from the driver's seat, but very quick from the passenger's seat.

I am very curious to know what my car would run in it's current setup. I still contend that my mom's EX is faster than my car without any i/h/e. Maybe I should look into seeing if I can't improve it by tuning it up.
