In any case you are probably talking about a pre 99 mustang gt cause the 99+ GT's can dip into the 13's stock and my turbo civic runs low low 14's and possibly 13's
15.9 second 1/8 mile was a joke, really. But seriously... my CX did something like that before I did the DX swap. It was pathetic.

No, I wasn't talking about the 99's, either. The GT's are slow. I see dozens of them at the track every time I go and none of them are running better than 14.5. :down: Most of their drivers circle my car like buzzards in the pit lane wondering how the hell my 2.0L can get away with wearing a 13.35 dial-in time. :whip:

I think you might be trans-muxing the SVT or Cobra Rustangs. Those are the only ones I've seen break a 14. They're all just as ugly, so they're pretty easy to confuse.

I didn't mean to say that a turbo'd civic can't run faster than a 14, they can. Just that I haven't seen a streetable one really do it yet. Your car is an exception to what I've witnessed, and I bet you've put all kinds of work into it. It takes time and practice to run that fast. What did it run when you first bolted your turbo kit on, and how long have you spent tuning it since then?
