Yeah so I raced a supercharged integra gsr today. In first gear I was like woh I actually got 1/4 length on him. By the end of second he was 1/2 a length in front of me, and by the end of third he was a good 4-5 lengths in front of me. Hurts the ego, but my car looks better and is more comfy than his. Not to mention if I S/c mine I'll be able to take him. His car runs low 14's.

ur car runs 14.7.. lets say his car runs 14.1-14.2... how much difference would that make? in other words, how many car lengths?

I'd have to say his GSR is quicker than low 14s if he put 4-5 cars on you in 3rd. Putting 4-5 cars on a upper 14 second car from 60-95mph suggests mid 13s. At the track, .1 doesn't equal one car length unless you're talking about 10 second and below cars. .2 seconds is pretty close to one car when you're talking about 13-15 second cars. It's all relative to the kind of acceleration each car has.

Well I think he just got those times because he can't launch. That's why I pulled in first gear. Then he sling shotted past me. Maybe it was three car lengths by the end of third, but all I know is that thing rocketed past me in third like no other car I've seen.

Yeah OGREDAVE would fair better, but I think he'd nail ya in his third and fourth gear still.

I have a friend who let me drive his GSR, stock. Didn't feel too impressive in 1st and 2nd, but 3rd 4th and 5th! Whoa! That car's gearing is interesting in that as it increases speed, it's ability to accelerate goes up as well. The top 3 gears really work the VTEC mode. I know when he and I eventually race, its going to be a tough battle after 100 mph. The VQ starts off fast but slows down as speed increases Of course the 5th gen VQ corrected that

It'd be fun tho He probably would, due to my almighty lack of a 5th gear.. i guess Cheston or Skimax would actually be a better matchup

If this guy was lucky enough to have Endyn's supercharger, it should have about 400hp? No wonder!

Nah it was jackson racing at 6PSI with some other basic motor work.

GSR's do not feel fast at all, but they are pretty fast. The speedo just climbs quickly on them.

5th gear in the Maxima is much better than the GSR's 5th gear.

Front lip + 2 sides + 2 rear pieces = 5
I could be wrong.


LucentAUTO:What does that "Authorized STILLEN dealer" under your sig mean?

I'll take this one....ok...think about it for just a second.

ok....now count. You've got 2 rear skirts, 2 side skirts and 1 front lip.

Last time I checked, 2+2+1=5

hmmmmmmm

My friend Mike has a JRSC GSR. He runs 13.2s on the 6 PSI pulley with intake header exhaust and a tiny 20 shot of nitrous on slicks. Without the nitrous but still on slicks he runs 13.4s. He refuses to go to an 8 or 10lb pulley because of the heat issue. i dont see it being a problem but he can do what he wants heh.

Yeah Stillen didn't make a whole bumper piece so it's two individual pieces.

Yeah JRSC Tegs are pretty viscous.
