can someone tell me there quarter mile times because I just got home from the drags and I had to carry my slow ass off the track with an 18.028 and 74 mph. my car has intake and exhaust and every other site i go to it tells me that it will run a 16.7 STOCK!!!! can someone clarify this for me

auto or stick? also, whats the elevation of the track?

you should be running better than that. Hows your driving?
what condition is the motor in?

could be your driving, also.......

yea, that's pretty damn slow. i take it you're in new mexico so i'd partially blame the hot weather. maybe your motor is just in need of a tune up.

Albuquerque is abour 5000 ft above sea level.

motor is in perfect running condition. had that checked out like 2 weeks prior to saturday night.

reaction was like a .437 ill try and post the time slip

I read on the internet that a stock civic should run a 16.7 but i am almost 2 seconds short of that...

any ideas would be greatly appreciated

it is a 5 speed

At Roswell (3700ft) it converts to a 17.3
At (5100) it converts to a 17.09

You need to work on your driving. At about 2700-3000ft I ran a 17.2 stock and at sea level I ran a 16.7 (Capitol raceway) with 106 dx motor

Most likely you ran in the heat so take off a tenth for every ten degrees above 60* and thats what you can expect with better weather and if your launch sucked you can generally take .15 off for every .1 you shave off you 60ft times

Good luck and practice
