Re: (AEMKid)
stock time for an ITR is 14.75
if you had a stripped interior and azenis, then you may get a 14.2...
with Azenis, my best stock time was a 14.62
not all itrs are the same tho, some were slower and some were faster
my friends 98 will only do a 14.9 at best, and we really tried hard
while on the opposite side of things, a FEW very lucky itr owners cars can pull closer to 14.2-14.4 stock...and im sure we are all envious that they got one of the few exceptional motors out of the bunch
average JDM DC2 ITRS dont run 14.2-14.4 either.... average is about a 14.5-14.7

Azenis are heavier than most tires. Does the traction they offer outweigh the weight penalty that much? If my buttdyno was working correctly, my car felt slower (from a standstill) with Azenis than with the RE 92's (

not all tracks are the same either...different elevations, different track materials, different weather will all affect track performance...

Re: IT-R Quarter Mile (h x p 4 r k)
Yea I they run about 14.75 stock. I actually went to the track the other day (first time ever dragging with any car). I ran 3 times, last time being the best. 14.3 at 98, 13.8 at 102, and best was 13.6 at 104. I got allllooot better at launching after a few tries.
So 13.6 at 104 was best. On street tires to say the least, but I bought a fairly nicely built ITR. Look at the signature. I hope to hit 13.4 with better tires. Also on that run I was next to a 5.0 mustang that had intake and header and it ran a 14.1 so that made me happy to beat it. hehehe

Re: IT-R Quarter Mile (h x p 4 r k)
Type R's aren't really quarter mile type cars.
It depends on drivers. Good drivers can send that thing past the posts in the 14's.
Magazine reviews will always give a quicker 1/4 time cause they are professional drivers. Add another .5 seconds to that time and thats what most drivers are likely to land on their time slips. I saw a video of drivers duking it out, pro's vs. amateurs.
good ****.

IMO it's the exact opposite. Most magazine drivers aren't professinals at driving Type-R's. Sure they could be pro's but I'd put almost any owner that has actually tracked the car against a professional that has only driven it for 5min.
Stock Type-R's are low 14 sec cars with exceptional/lucky drivers and great track conditions.

unless sacramento race way's clock is off, cause i pulled a 14.4 on a stock 97 jdmR, btw that same night we also brought out a 98 spec, but that only pulled 14.8. after back to back runs in both cars, i have noticed that 3-4 shifts are better in the 96spec tranny, plus i'm sure tire size and being that the 97 did not have a/c and the 98 did made a bit of a difference.

You do have a point, R owners know the car better than anyone else and im sure that there are plenty of R owners out there that can zip it across the lights faster than a magazine tester.
My reference was not made to Type R specific claims, i'd be in the wrong place to make a claim like that. Im just makin a reference to those car testers out there for the magazines and that they have more experience that most "average joe's " out there so it would be wrong to put an argument up against me being able to launch any specific car and pull through the lights faster than they can unless i had plenty of dragging experience (in which most of them do).
Some of the guys in motor trend used to be professional drivers and now help write reviews and test cars for.

Re: IT-R Quarter Mile (Nvious R)
The magazine drivers are professionals and they are good at what they do. The BIG advantage of the magazine tests is that they standardize all the conditions - elevation, temperature, equipment, etc. The cars are always bone stock with a full tank of gas, with stock tires with full tread. By using these standard procedures, and eliminating variables, the results are predictable and reproduceable; their test times tend to be within a couple of tenths of a second of each other, from one magazine to another, and you can see which car is faster than another.
Actual reports from amateur drivers (that's us) involve a lot more variables. Certainly driver skill is a big one. But even beyond that, look at all the other things that can differ and can affect the results. Most (but not all) drivers use 1/4 tank or less; the gasoline in a full tank weighs 80 pounds. Most (but not all) drivers empty their cars of equipment like spare tires, jack etc. People run cars that they call "mostly stock" but they have a few mods - and of course, some cars have a LOT of mods. Tires can vary big time, from drag radials to cheapy tires and everything in between, and tread can vary as well. And, with all of these variables, it's no wonder that 1/4 mile times that people actually report can vary by two full seconds or more, with the best times beating the magazines, and the slowest times slower than the magazines.
So whatever figures you use need to be placed in the proper context. "Some guy with a lot of mods ran..." or "My first time at the dragstrip..." or whatever.
Personally, I would never compare the times for one make/model of car to those for another car except using the kinds of standardized procedures used by the magazines, just because there are too many variables any other way.

Re: IT-R Quarter Mile (nsxtasy)
In my old 2000 PY ITR (#1468) on my second time ever attempting a 1/4 mile I hit a 14.8. Granted the radar detector on my windsheild flew off and hit the back seat. I was told I spin some in 1st, so maybe I could have done better. That was the last time I ever cared/tried 1/4 mile run.
I really don't think the car is built for that, as well as it is really hard on the car itself.

I had one of those "Broadway" mirrors ( the wide view rear view mirrors ) and that flew off and popped me in the head when i was toying with my friends' Eclipse. I did alright pretty good taking him considering the boost he ran. I won with a big mark on my head.
^^
I don't drag but should clock myself going downhill on a near empty tank in a stock R and see if i can be the first to break 12 seconds on a stock ??
