Default went to the track agen..

so, yesturday, went to the track, it was the day before an event, so I got in 14 runs...my best time was a 14.8, by this time, the car was pretty hot, I had run it about 8 times in a row.. I had a ghetto intake/ghetto shortshifter/catback, weight reduction, I took out front passangers seat, and spare tire, weighed it at the scale there, with me in it, weighed 2950lbs...anyways, on to the timeslips and pics...my friend with a wrx also went, he ran a 13.90

I weigh about 147, but I had not eaten in like 15 hours, maybe that knocked down a few pounds? anyways, the car has 151,000 miles...

so that means your car weighs 2803lbs without you. damn dude, that's pretty good. lemme know exactly what you took out. that sounds like a good diet.
on my old lude i had a c/f hood, gutted trunk, no rear seats, lighter wheels, and it was still nowhere near that number.

Eh??? I would have thought it would be significantly lighter than that... My Prelude weighed 2861lbs (without me in it) upon delivery from the factory. And mine is a 2000 MY 5th gen Base...

Yeah last thing 5th gen owners need is more excuses

Nice runs...see High mileage 4th gens still kick out...I only have 100,000 miles!

p.s. so jealous of the WRX 60ft times...

I thought that was heavy as hell, anyways, all I did was take out the front passangers seat and the spare tire and jack,

Wow, look at the trap speeds. Yours was actually higher, yet your friend ran a whole second lower...So would a prelude beat a wrx on the freeway??

A few of us pull on WRXs on the highway no problem, but if you look at the first race he did 96....but that's by no means a high trap for that time....

He let off the gas. I'm sure many Preludes could pull on a STOCK WRX on the freeway, but not a 13.9 second one

depends on the mods with the wrx. i have pulled on my friends wrx with an exhaust. this was with my relatively stock h22a4 in my old accord. 90mph-up i pulled.

great times for the lude though with minimal mods.

i wouldn't take those weighing stations seriously at tracks. i once weighed my h22a accord at englishtown here in new jersey.
it weighed 2850 with me in it and i weigh 200lbs. something was definitely off.
