14.9 aint bad considering all the crap you have in it. what other mods do you haev besides the cold air? what was your 60ft?

i hit 15.06 in a 95 GSR with just an aem (full interior, blah blah, no weight reduction) i think ur times could be a little better.

Do people really drag race type R's?

This is some kind of joke.

14.9-that seems like a lifetime going in a straight line, try the road course next time and really flex the R's muscles.

Do people really road race Camaros and Mustangs?

Last time I checked paying $10 to run down the strip and preparing for a track event aren't exactly the same.

So what if he took his car to the strip and decided to see what his 1/4 mile time was? Does honda say you must not 1/4 this car? Shut the hell up.

I as well find it primative and boring. I'm not a huge fan of drag racing ....YET ...there really isnt another way to calculate and monitor acceleration.

You could not get those type of readings on a road course (60ft , 1320m) ...

data that could be useful to monitor how well the car is running, or accelerating ...

Yes ....its mundane than actually road racing ....but it can still be useful ...and fun
