[Zygote55]

This wednesday I'll be taking my car to the strip to get a few runs in while it's still stock. I'm HOPING to break 16 seconds, but I probably won't. I'll be there with a couple friends... one has a '00 Jetta that's pretty heavily modified and runs mid-14's. The other is a '98 Prelude that's stock and runs high 15's. There may be videos...there may be pictures...there may be nothing but a follow-up post; I can't promise anything.

If anybody would like to donate a supercharger or turbo there WILL be pictures and videos

I forgot to say that this is a 5spd with nothing but floor mats.

 

[Kwiksilver]

hey let us know how you do. it would be nice to know how fast our cars are stock

 

[Zygote55]

I'm guessing low 16's. Probably 16.2 or 16.1

 

[TCrazy]

ill bet you get a best of 16.8 @84mph. Should be interesting, let us know! - t

 

[Zygote55]

I don't think it'll be THAT bad. This is a 5spd, not the auto.

 

[TCrazy]

just my .02 hehe. best of luck! -t

 

[mysciontc]

I think top speed is 128 mph on the tc. anyone else know?

 

[wolo]

That should be where the governor kicks in.

 

[Eric]

Zygote, what strip are you going to?

 

[QSJ Ed]

The governor kicks in at 127 - I guarentee it.

sac raceway, I believe. I'm going with some friends from work, so I'm not totally sure where we're going.

Well If there is it's govern mine doesn't work i had mine at 135 on the parkway i have 5 speed it was geared out so not speed governed to let you all know

If you get every shift right and perfect you will get a 15.7 like i did. And thats what the car is supose to do. I took it to a local 1/8th mile track and i ran a 10.084 so i think now i might be able to run a lil better in the 1/4 due to some other stuff done to my car. But you should do fine.

I have had mine up to 130 so i dont think mun e works either.

You did not have your car going 130 or 135.....the speeedometer is mighty unstable at those speeds, the computer stops your car from going faster...it is not a point of it working or not...

thats bull...me and my cousins 5spd tC can only go 127 mph....governed out...

 

[lo bux racer]

Same here. 127. That's all there is without reflashing the ECM.

Be careful at Sac Raceway. They matched me against a red line a M3 a Sti heavily modified (533hp dyno sheet to prove it) and a 12psi turbo 01 prelude. It wasn't pretty and if you get a good reaction time you should be able to hit mid 15's if you hesitate it will be more like low 16's. It's a nice track but the the compition is brutal. I'm going in the next few weeks so maybe I'll see you there.
