3.0's can break 15.
Read my sig.
A panel filter and a 260 pound driver = 14.9

 

14.9 = 15

 

Using that logic then anyone over 14.5 = 15
A tenth is a tenth.
It doesn't matter whether its by an inch or a mile.
If 14.92 is in the 14's then its in the 14's.

 

You are stupid. Civic owners don't swap the F23A4 motor into their civics. They swap the B16A2 or B18C1-C4 motors. This is the Civic Si motor and the Teg GSR motor. The F23 motor wont even fit. Vtec is gods gift to honda and the VQ is gods gift to nissan right?? Give it a rest ***.

 

I'm not going to edit a post like this, I'll just delete if this gets ugly.

 

14.92 = 15

If you wanna brag about 8/100th's of a second, go right ahead. Like it makes a difference.

[Imaginary conversation]

Me: So what do you run in the 1/4, about 15?
You: 14.92 seconds.
Me: ahh...

 

No need to brag, there are plenty of other max owners with faster cars.
I was just pointing out that stock 3 liter maxima's, besides factory freaks (not just russ), do post in the 14's.
I know there are many more on here that have as well.
I'm slow & stock.

 

First you say that 3.0's don't hit 14's. They do and you get owned, and now you're going to continue to talk the smack by arguing that a tenth doesn't make a difference and that a 14.9 isn't a "real" 14 at all but still a 15? umm....okay

Just so you know...a tenth of a second is equal to about one car-length at 94 mph. And also in case you didn't know, the Indy 500 has been won and lost by LESS than a car-length at OVER 200 MPH!

So if you're going to be arrogant and try to tell people that a tenth of a second, or a car-length, or even HALF a car-length doesn't make a difference and doesn't matter, try telling that to the guy that came in #2. Say it to his face, too

And now are you going to argue that F23A4's 2k2 automagic (my buddy from the Accord boards) Maxima that ran a 14.905 isn't a "real" 14 either and is still a 15? Try telling him that.

 

Here is what the glorious VTEC system does on the current Accord V6's.



It allows it to run a castrated fuel economy/emissions cam profile down low below 3500rpm (translation: ZERO POWER), and then a "normal" cam profile up top for decent performance. But because it's "VTEC", it convinces Honda owners that it is for performance when it is REALLY just for fuel economy and emissions...

I leanred this the hard way...

And the VQ in that dyno has variable NOTHING

 

Additionally, Mr. Green is a big guy like myself. I weigh 270. The difference of 100 lb compared to some mag test drivers can make about a tenth difference in the 1/4 mile as well. So a 14.9 with just K&N and a heavy driver is an EXCELLENT time. If a lighter guy had been driving, it would easily be a 14.8x.

So are 14.8's REAL 14's yet?

 

I think you need to stop owning people here and lose some weight


Damn pesky facts about VTEC.


We need a Honda forum here. Steve can be the moderator.

 

Weight reduction is free, but adding a y-pipe is easier and would have better results. Yes, I HAVE calculated that

Beware, though. Only HonDUH VTEC's are like this. They actually put GOOD cams in the Cracura's that give decent low-end. This goes along with Honda's strategy to cripple their Honduh's so that they can sell more Cracura's.

 

Agreed. When I first saw you post this stuff, I would think to myself "my dad's TL isn't like that. Low end does actually exist." Then I remember the cam profiles, etc. are different on the Cracuras.















I'm going to propose a Honda forum to Jamie and see how far it flies. And I'll let you be the babysitter.

 

First of all, you suck at math. 14.92 is only 8/100th's of a second faster than 15 flat. The difference is negligable when you factor in track conditions. To argue otherwise is gay.

Second, you better learn some ****in manners before you talk to me like that again, understand?

 

Each tenth of a second is roughly a car length. The difference is noticeable.

 

 

I'm curious as to who taught you 14.92 = 15. I would like to have the opportunity to dope slap the teacher who taught you that.



Like what? Laying out facts and charts to back up contentions while you try to re-teach math when people who were taught what the equal sign means know that 14.92 is .08 less than 15.00.


I'm lost as to your issue over generally accepted use of the equal sign in the math community.

 

I was ROUNDING for the sake of simplicity. You want me to break out the big guns?

Taking offense to someone who corrects you is typical of HonDUH and Cracura owners. Are you sure you really own a Maxima? And if you choose to keep spewing out BS, I'm just gonna keep calling you on it. So don't blame me when I do, k?

 

That's WTF I take offense to, **********.

I'm talkin smack now? Yeah, whatever... I can back that smack up by smoking your fatass all day in the 1/4 mile without even trying, and with an automatic no less.

 

Please enlighten us to what you have actually run at the track. If you think you will smoke a 5spd 4th or 5th gen, I would really like to know this. Also scan your timeslip so we know its true. If you haven't, maybe before you talk crap like you are now, you need to go see what your possible 15 sec maxima or maybe a 14.7-14.9 oh wait, but thats still a 15 sec maxima. Per your logic of course.

lol.

 

3.0's DO run 14's stock.

You're wrong.
Everybody else is right.
#1

"14.92 is no different than a 15.0." But actually, it's almost a full car-length difference. There IS a difference, and the last time I checked a 14.92 is considered a 14, not a 15. And a 14.92 is closer to a 14.9 than a 15.0, so it's about a tenth.

You're wrong.
Everybody else is right.
#2

So now you have been proven wrong multiple times and can't refute any information BECAUSE YOU ARE WRONG so you resort to personal attacks. How mature.

Mommy make him stop!!


















Sorry, but personal attacks and insults over the Internet have absolutely ZERO effect on me. Try again.
