BS.

And, I think it's funny how now they're talking about how the car should hit 12s...

And, where is his response? Seems like the doubters scared him away.

Look at what NA guys are running on our forum. I just can't imagine his times being legit, even on a 50 degree day, no humidity, best launch in the world, etc ....

I'm going to say it happened...mainly b/c of the chrome battery tie down. If he had some 20s he would've hit the 12s easily.

I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you on that one...

intake exhaust and downpipe are his only performance mods and he did not list his type of tires nor back it up with any detailed run info like RT, 60 foot, etc

I am an optimist too and I doubt his claim...

The only power mods he had were the intake and the UDP. Everything else is show or negligable. Or counter-performance, like those monster rims. He could have swapped the rims at the track though. Lot's of people do.

he has a race pipe (y pipe) and exhaust also. If he ran on stock wheels and had a 2.1 60' and perfect weather it is possible. He has the same mods as ethan so I'm not callin BS yet.

he has everything ethan has so i wouldnt really doubt the 13.9 alone but then seeing he has those 19s and then he claims he was trapping out at 105 MPH....that tells me something isnt right.

Looks like he's posting G-Tech times. All the trap speeds are a good 3-5 mph faster than is reasonable. And his times are a little optimistic also. The main thing is the discrepancy between the times and speeds...speeds are way too fast for the times. Which leads me to the G-Tech conclusion.

i think his time would be reasonable, emax has about the same mods and ran a 13.8, with a good driver and those mods i think a 13.9 is hard to do but possible, but he just embarassed himself by saying he traped at 105. i think the pure physics of it is just impossible with that time. correct me if im wrong but isnt a 105 trap calling for like a low 13 sec high 12 sec run??

Eh man that's awesome, I just ordered a set of 23" I'm going to run on 295/30/23, I'm shure I'll be able to run low 11's with my auto, maybe I can shave 1 or 2 second on the quarter by removing my running shoes and putting some 94 octane gas.

What a crock... refused to give a 60' time, the tires he was running on are a "secret" etc. He's full of it. Probably never even been to the track.

I'm waiting to hear a fowny 60'. I bet he will say he got a 2.1.. And we all know with that trap and that 60' the car would be low low 13's.

I have used more sets of tires at the track than most people. I know that a smaller diameter tire can increase your mph some but not much. A larger diameter tire will hurt your mph. He probably has the same 22" slicks that I have and sees his speedo hit 105 when he uses them.

This guy is a piece of work. We question him on his trap speed and he resorts to name calling.

Probably some kid trying to be kool thinking that he can fool people with his bs. Trap speed of 105 there is no way. If it looks like BS and smells like BS than it must be BS

Well... according to http://www.mazdamaniac.com/q_mile_calculator
With a trap speed of 105mph, and the Altima weighing in at 3178lbs... he would have to be getting 319hp at the engine. Can he get 79hp more with his mods?

This guy was using a damned G-TECH!

That's why the traps are so darn high and it's also why he's refusing to give a 60' time - because he doesn't have one to give

My G-Tech/PRO said my 01 Accord V6 ran a 15.46 @ 95 (more like a 16.1 @ 87). So with that in mind, his 13.9 @ 105 is very believeable

There was one guy that said that with all the mods hes got his time should be better than 13.9. Obviously he does not know what he is talking about.
