i have to know where these imprt guys get their 1/4 mile times. i was hanging out with some friends last night that are big into the whole import thing, so were hanging out in a parking lot listening to these two guys bench racing over whos car is faster. an old crx with a big motor and a turbo, and a hatch back with about the same setup. so there going on and one of them said last year at the track he went high 12's before the turbo so his car must be a mid-high 11 sec car now and all the other import guys agree. me not knowing the slightest thing about anythign with 4 cylinders other than it takes a TON to run 11's in almost anything believe it, they do have a list of things done to these cars a mile long. so we end up heading out to go crusing some, both of these two cars sound very good for hondas, i hate that fart can sound and neither had that sound what so ever.
so i'm believing these cars really are the one in 1,000 fast hondas out there, luck would have it that the crx and me catch a redlight together. i'm in the gs that i told them runs 15.6 (because it actually does and i have time slips to prove it) so hes just looking to make me feel bad or something, i don't really know. so we take off on the green light, and i don't see him anymore. i pulled him through first gear and had about a car legnth. when i hit 2nd (dead gear in my car) he SLOWLY walked past me, maybe even crawled past me. so we stop again and he gets out and starts telling me about how i have an easy 12 sec. car and that i dont' know waht i'm talking about saying it runs 15's.
so where do they get these numbers from? do they build up simular cars on gran tourismo and assume that its going to run like their cars? i really don't get it. i'm going to slap a pulley on my car and say it runs 10's
