Prelude Vs. Integra Vs. Probe Vs. Fiero

gritmaster, magazines were running the corvette Z06 at 12.8
all the sudden somone comes along that really know how to drive and runs a 12.4
bigg diff, and people have outrun mag times all the time and some have run times a whole lot slower than mag times also. so its really hard to go by mags, as 3 diff mags will give you 3 diff times

Very true. Car and Driver ran a 2003 Evo 8 in 13.6 seconds. People have gotten them as low as 13 flat bone stock. They ran the LS1 Camaro at 13.5; it's been in the high 12's a couple of times. Magazine racing is not a reliable way to compare cars at all, since so much comes down to the driver. If the Fiero driver in this race was good enough, I bet he could smoke all three cars (unless they had bad-ass drivers as well).

i usually take the time of a few mags and take the average of the 3 and go from there. also going to the track every once in a while helps

Yeah, although most of the time the cars at the track aren't stock. Still, you can see what most of the cars in your area are running, and that's more useful knowledge.
