Default My 05 RSX-S 1/4 Mile time

I went to the dragway yesterday and this were my results. Note I didnt launch my car I just accelerated off the light as you would do in any traffic light, just burning the clutch a little in order not to spin the tires. Tires were at stock psi. The only mod is an injen CAI and the car ahs 2600mi. If I would have put the tires at lower psi and launched the car would have gotten better times for sure. I spinned the wheels on 2 and 3 gear also, so that means time loss. Also tires werent warmed up, no burn out done before each pass.

First pass spining tires(worst pass out of 5)
rt +.037
60ft 2.504
330ft 6.506
1/8m 9.745 @ 75.86 mph
1000ft 12.5333
1/4m 14.901 @ 95.36mph

Best pass

rt +.318
60ft 2.343
330ft 6.338
1/8m 9.555 @ 77.06 mph
1000ft 12.330
1/4m 14.683 @ 96.17mph

Let me know what you think
Thanks

your car has 2600 miles on it and you are already beating it at the track?

probably not the best of ideas...

The engine should be just fine. At 2600 miles, its not 100% broken in, but its broken in enough to start driving hard, i mean, taking it to redline isn't going to hurt anything.

Acura came correct with the 05 S. I always liked the earlier S's but I like that new 05.

um just an intake? that nullifies the "stock car."
you are either stock or you aren't.

i had a hunch the '05's are faster than the previous models. the trap speed indicates how much better.

SH*T!!! I've got 12,2XX on mine in 5 months and it been down the track more
than 50 times. 1st time was with 1,8XX miles on it.

As for my time, I was only able to squeeze off 14.87 @ 93 0r 92 mph?
Track was in terrible condition, and I can't drive!!!

in my 02 about 3 years ago I ran a 14.8X @95 100% stock. (20psi in front tires, empty tank, 45 degree weather)

with I/H I ran a 14.90 @97 on a HORRIBLE track in 90 degree weather.


*just for reference, as I am a NHRA licensed driver*

Yes, my injen CAI is the one from previous models, I had problems at the begining with it being hit by the shift mechanisim, but moved it around until finally it didnt made any contact, so yes it works.

nice times. Did you red light both runs though? I was looking at your reaction time that's why I asked.
