Finally broke into the 14s AND beat a TL-S @ Etown!!
I went to Englishtown for the Import Survival Series 3 today and ran pretty consistent ETs in the upper 14s:
Run#1 14.902@92.02 (vs. some previous gen Jetta-16.833)
Run#2 14.976@91.19 (vs. new Tiburon GT V6-16.319@84.77)
Run#3 14.921@91.67 (vs. 3rd gen Mazda 626-17.947)
Run#4 15.002@91.56 (vs. Acura Integra Type R-15.123@94.84)
Run#5 14.919@92.71 (vs. Acura 3.2TL Type S-15.882@88.36)
Disclaimer: Run#5 was a bracket race-This TL ran a 15.33 in a prior run.
Unfortunately, I didn't survive the Survival series too long but I feel better knowing that I can run consistent upper 14s.
Peace

That's true. I'm not certain how good that driver is but he did have what appeared to be a Tanabe or Greddy exhaust. He might have had more boltons but I didn't check his ride out in the staging lanes. (From what I hear, ITRs don't respond as well as GSRs when it comes to bolton mods. Go figure.)

nice runs in the Max! 
Yep, those TL-S's sure are hitting high-14's all the time
P.S. - were you brake torquing or still just doing a street launch. I notice your traps are up (91-92 now, vs 90 before) so I'll assume you were launching harder.

Hi Steve, Colgate. No, it was a legitimate TL Type S. I had a chance to scope it out prior to the race. (Then again, he could have badged it and thrown on the TLS's 17inchers but, I doubt it.--The only way to know for certain is if I could have seen the 'J32A2' stamped on the block.)
You assumed correct Steve, I was brake torquing this time though I didn't manual shift. As far as my times are concerned, my car felt faster after I got my first oil change 2 weeks ago.
All I got was regular Castrol GTX 5W30, nothing special. However, I still think I'm trapping about 1-2mph slower than what I should be.
Triple8, that ITR IS an impressive car. I saw him gaining on me through my peripheral vision but, it was too late (for him). I killed him off the line with a 60' time of 2.266 vs. 2.563 for the ITR. I always wanted an ITR; I still may pickup one used/unabused and pass the Max to my wife.
Also, NEWSFLASH GUYS: Watchout for those TURBO 99-00 CIVIC SIs!! I saw a few there that were running mid-low 13s!!

look at the ITR's trap speed, almost 95mph, was the ITR u ran modded, im thinking it was modded just he had a horrible launch or something.

looking at those numbers looks like the ITR was reeling u a little before halfway, guess the 2k2 top end isnt as fast as i had originally thought, nice run tho, especially for auto, and nice launch, last i remember 2k2 were a little difficult to launch with all that torque.
