Icon7 Tested My JDM Prelude with G-tech Pro RR

Hello,

I'm the proud owner of JDM H22A Prelude.
Yesterday I've tested my car with G-tech pro RR on track and below you can see my results.

How do you think can this be real?

Car is stock, I've only changed exhaust to Invidia N1 Catback Exhaust / Racing Version.

I don't get it. Those numbers are nothing special.

0-62mph in ~6 seconds?

Did you notice that the speeds and distances are in Kilometers?

For reference most "supercars" don't get less than 3.5 seconds 0-100 kms.

Also unless you're one skinny guy and your car's got a lot of bits missing there's no way your Prelude is 1279 kilograms. You need rolling weight that includes you, the driver too.

Why are they off a lot? There are examples of 4th Gen Preludes running either high 13s or low 14s in mostly stock configurations.

The Base S 4th gen is only 2800 pounds, swap in a healthy H22A with a low geared transaxle with a 1/4 tank of gas and I don't see how those numbers are unrealistic. It's not like he's given us much information and who knows what the Gtech software's doing. But whatever, accelerometer only based data aquisition tools are not nearly as accurate as multi-axis GPS receivers with accelerometers and those are also less accurate than precision timing equipment at a drag strip etc.

idk....
seems a little generous to me. Think about it, the track is alot stickier than the street. A low 14 second pass is reasonable, but a 13.8?
My bad. I'm a dumbass. Its 400 meters so its not gonna be exactly a quarter mile.

OK guys,

I weighted the car with me that day, and it was exactly 1280kg.
Yeah it's 400m, but I think it's 13.9 for 402m

So i'm pretty shocked with this times
But I don't suck at driving

Based on your own numbers, your car weighs 2677lbs without you in it. Here are the curb weights of the 4th gen Preludes. You've apparently removed between 132 and 255lbs or between 60 and 116kg.
