can anyone give me a site to view car specs like 0-60 time, 1/4 mile time, etc.. this will help me out, so i can know what cars to stay away from. also i have a stock 98 gsr and i want to turbo it some day; with a turbo the car needs to breath easier, so i will need to get a 3" exhaust. is it ok to just get the 3" exhaust to better prepare my car for a turbo. or just wait for the 3" ehaust for when i already have the turbo.

3'' exhaust on a n/a GSR will probably be a bit to large. Will probably be loosing torque pretty badly. Usually you go above 2 1/2'' only if you are turboing, so if you do it before, I guess you will worse power, until you get that turbo on there.

Also this site (http://www.albeedigital.com/supercou...0-60times.html) I've been using for 1/4 and 0-60 times. Some are just complete bull, but some are pretty accurate... If you look at the mustangs, it's going to be very favorable because it's the Ford super coupe club of Iowa or something like that.

Yeah, thats the site i check on a lot, I dont know how much i trust it though, but it gives you a good idea of where most cars rate.

hey man, you think i can take on a mustang gt. there are a lot of those around here. lol

eclipser2001

yea some do sound off by a little: 1993 Acura Integra GS-R 6.5(0-60) 15.2(1/4 mi.) with 160hp, and the 1994 Acura Integra GS-R 7.1(0-60) 15.5(1/4 mi.) with a 170hp v-tec.

or is that right?

dead on my friend





i have seen many 3rd gen gs-r hit 15.1 also though. From what I gather though 2nd gen gs-r is generally considered quicker than 3rd gen. It is definately nominal and up to the driver in my opinion.

I agree with knorwj, it really depends on the driver. The older GSR's have a closer gear ratio that helps them more right? Anyway, I know that I can take a mustang GT from a roll at about 40 with a little bit of struggle. Off the line, it depends on how good a driver the mustang driver is (bad driver = too much wheel spin and I get ahead and they have trouble) once it goes past 60 though, the mustangs totally loose out in third gear. And damnit... I'm so close to beating a cobra... I had a really good race with one a little while back. I got a small jump on him at about 50mph. It took the cobra til about 80mph or so til it passed me. It really wasn't that fast. Gimme my ITR exhaust and header (which has just recently been installed) and I'll see about that Cobra again.

is there a way to change the gear ratio, to beat the mustang gt badly. or will a short throw shifter do it.(this is still stock vs. stock.)

teg94

It also depends on the year .. if its a newer model u have less of a chance ... If it's 99 or above its capable of running low 14's ... a short throw shifter won't get u there hahaha

WAIT... how does a '93 GSR take a 94 GSR by over half a second? that makes NO SENCE!!!

pepsihatman

It's not a half of a second. And it's due mainly to the fact that the 2nd gen integras are lighter (correct me if I'm wrong) and they have a shorter gear ratio, closer gears.

isnt 6.5 seconds the same time for an ITR? because i doubt that a GSR could take down a ITR.
