Default Accord 1/4 question

I have a stock 95' Accord EX coupe. The last time I took it to the track my best run went down like this:

Reaction : .910

I1 : 2.317
I2 : 6.694
I3 :10.316
MPH (I3):67.030
I4 :13.464

E.T. :16.116

MPH :85.219

Now my question is, judging by my E.T. and trap speed, do you guys think it is possible to pull a 15.8-9? If I can pull a 2.2sec 60 foot time & switch a litle better?

I think with more practice alone you will go faster. Seat time helps a lot. Can you afford to take some weight out of the car? This can have a tremendous effect on e.t.'s. Your 60 ft time is ok...Not spectacular, but ok. Suspension set up alone can help in this matter. Shaving a tenth of in the 60 will definately show at the end of the track. Accords are hard to drag because they are heavy, but keep practicing and you will get faster.
Just a tip: When you make a change to your car, write down how the car behaves each pass. Make other changes...write it down and compare. Soon you will have enough information to see where you made gains. Document everything. If you are serious about racing this will be one of you most useful tools.
