Well I wont flame you because you are asking a question, and honestly the bitches that flame are just people who think they know a lot more than they do.

As for your times its hard to say. I dont mean to kill your hopes but a 45,000 dollar RSX type S made by HyTech Exhaust/and Progress ran just a 14.4 In a test in the SuperFour Challenge in Car&Driver. That is with $11,500 worth of modifications, and its NATURALLY ASPIRATED. Its fastest run was a 14.2 and that was the fastest time out of all of the cars. So to put in perspective, I too have a AEM CAI on my EP3, which no doubt is much slower stock, and I too am a pretty good driver, but I think the best you could get would be around a 14.60-14.70, which is still fast and considering the stock times are by professional drivers, it may vary. I trust your a good driver, so get into the driver seat, watch the lights and rip it up and post your times, ok? Take it easy, good luck

The test ep3hatchblack was talking about wasn't done on a "real" drag strip, it
was ridiculously hot/humid, etc. Just to give a little perspective.

However, I think you're probably gonna be pressing to get below a 15. Just
my opinion. Take a look at clubrsx.com and find people's old posts of their
quarter mile times and compare to your mods. That's the best way to get an
idea of what you'll be looking at.

thanks for the info...


here was the deal i ran today... the 17th and it was 90% humidity and about 95 degrees i ran 19 times running from my best 15.301 at 92.12 to a 15.55 at 92.70 so for my first time ever attempting to run with a tree i didnt do too bad
my tires were already roasted so i had no grip out of the whole with my best 60 ft time of 2.33 and my worst at 2.77 and my reaction time varied to the first one being .947 to my last and best of the day of .516 so with a 70 degree night and some nittos i think i might be able to bust a lower 15 or maybe even a high 14!

thanks and good luck to you guys also,

josh

Good job. I hope you can bring your times down when its in some cooler weather. I want to know what you launched at because it seems different tires launch at different points. so i want to hear your input. Thanks
