I was at the track last night (check my new best time in sig) and I saw this green and yellow eclipse rolling around. After i'd made a couple of runs one of the eclipse driver's friends came over to see if i'd race him, I asked if it was a turbo, they said no so I agreed. We lined up and I smoked the shit out of him, no contest, probably had him by a second. I parked off in the grass to see what he had and I saw an older guy telling him to get back in his car so they could run. The kid in the eclipse didn't want to so I asked the older guy what he was running, he pointed to a '90 305 Camaro, I told him i'd run him. He said he wanted to run his son's eclipse and that he hadn't paid 12 bucks for nothing so what the hell, he agreed to run me. I had a reason to want to run him, one of my co-workers drive's the same car essentially and I wanted to know if I could beat him or not. Me and the kids dad lined up and I waxed his ass, I beat him as bad if not worse than I beat the Eclipse. My 60' times are down to consistent 2.2's on street tires, occasional 2.1's so i've been beating a lot of people off the line including a WRX and a b16 5th gen civic with slicks. I'm pretty much done drag racing 'till I get my turbo on, it's funny how quick a basically stock CRX can be with a good driver and good preperation.

where did u run your car?

I bet old dad was pissed, oh well:smoker2:

0-60 in 2.1 sec. You either are too drunk to know the difference between a viper venom 805 and a honda crx or just lying your a@# off.
And its true a extremelly moded crx could theoretically pull that 0-60 off but its 1/4 mile would be under 10 sec. So gets your own facts staight. You don't even have the turbo on.

I raise the BS flag:dogpile: :dogpile: :dogpile:

im going to have to agree with neutrino on this one. 2.1 0-60? on a 1/4mile? that should be way under 10 sec. come on dude. :bandit:

nice cougar by the way. any mods?? :bandit:

Yeah i am kind of using this one as a template for what am I going to do to mine.I already found the places online that sell the parts he is using.

he is talking 60' times not 0-60mph, i had to read it twice before i relaised what he said, it could be possible.

whoa whoa whoa. is he talking 60ft??

HAHA, what are you guys TALKING ABOUT?? He's saying that his 60 foot time is 2.2 seconds. Meaning the time it takes him to cross sixty feet is 2.2 seconds.

Yes, that is why I deleted my post and then proceeded to pull my foot from my mouth.

If its about 60ft times I withdraw my earlier statement.

That is a good point. The WRX goes 0-60 in 5.4 I very mcuh doubt your CRX can pull that even with the best driver behind the wheel.

He's talking about at the jump/takeoff. AWD cars are easy to bog if you don't know what you're doing or are afraid to drop that clutch HARD.

I'm just saying that it is a possibilty, especially since the WRX is a new commodity and most owners are probably still getting used to it.

you got a point there but he would have to be a pretty bad driver it kind hard to mess up with awd but very possible

i bet he can do it so :p to you go work the WRX with your CRX hehe:flipa:

it is a fact that wrx's are hard to beat off the line but its all on how much experience that driver has with the wrx. so i say it is possible to beat him off the line with the exception of a few mods.

Bahahaha, I thought everyone was kidding. You guys need to observe stuff before you go off calling BS.

man i can get a 2.0 and a wrx has 70 more hp. the reason is u dont just "dump the clutch" like u say and most people with wrx's think, cuz the awd bogs the engine down, u have to know how to work it to keep rpms up. and dumping the clutch wont hurt it, ive probably dumped my clutch over 700 times.

what i MEANT was it wont kill it as quickly as some people think, a lot of people act like u drop the clutch 3 or 4 times in an awd car and its gone, i was just pointing out that it will take a lot more abuse than that, and just ONE OR TWO clutch drops every now and then wont hurt it enough to make a difference.

You all made my day, i finally get around to paying my phone bill only to see my thread full of people calling BS on me and then other people arguing on my behalf. I was talking about the time it takes me to travel sixty feet, not 0-60 but I can see how you were confused so no apologies necessary. The WRX that I beat off the line had an inexperienced drive and was running mid to low 15's at the time so call BS if you want but I tell no lies. Your 60' time is a good measure of how well you launched your car, i'm hoping to break into the 2.0's (my closest was a 2.120) pretty soon and i've got an idea of how i'm going to do it. I raced a '99-'00 Civic SI on my way home from the track from about 10mph and suprised myself with the outcome. I beat him though first and when he started to drop back in 2nd i shifted into third... he was still racing! I floored it as he was passing be and started to catch up when i hit around 4 grand and by the time i hit 4th i was a good carlength or two ahead. If i hadn't shifted to 3rd so early he never would've passed me, a friend of mine has an identical car so I want to race him now to see if it was a fluke or not. When i ran a 15.3 it was with no passenger side headlight, 15psi in the tires, no passenger seat, and shifting just before fuel cutoff. When I raced the Civic SI I had my headlight in, 32psi in the tires, a passenger seat occupied by a 165lb passenger (Brandon) and I FUBAR'd my 2nd to 3rd shift. I'm really looking forward to racing my friend with the '99 SI now, bwahaha.

oh i believe u beat the wrx off the line, ive beat all the wrx's ive raced off the line too, im just saying if they were experienced enough u wouldnt have.

The difference is that you have AWD, i don't, i beat an AWD car off the line and i have FWD. The physics of weight transfer work against FWD cars at the drag strip because when you accelerate weight shifts to the rear lifting the front tires causing them to spin. The fact that I could beat an AWD car off the line (pretty badly) is more impressive than if another AWD car beat and AWD car off the line.
