y0 don't race
and get a 5speed

 

:thumbup:

 

You dont really need to brake torque, at least it doesnt work for me. Ran a 14.862 in my auto tonight by just flooring it at the line, and I got a 14.970 with brake torquing.

 

wish that was my coupe very nice , how fast can u take the 03 coupe anyone? :thumbup:

 

Some guy took his 6 speed to 151 according to his speedometer, so probably 145 on the 6 speed which some say isnt governed. The auto is governed at 130 i believe....

 

Maybe because you get more torque or something but I ran 16.6 consitontly and 16.5 doing brake torque at 2000 and ran 16.8 16.9 either launching brake/gas at 1200 or not doing it at all.

 

Maybe I just dont know how to do it and my car is capable of 14.5's, 14.6's??? hehe, i hope so...

 

I personally like starting out in first, then second then third, and fourth in my 97 accord se. It gives it a sportyer feel and it allows you to control shift points for better efficiency.

BUT, do learn to drive for a couple years before you start racing... at bare minumum. Longer is even better.

 

Well whatever you do DONT POWER BRAKE unless you want to make your auto go out quicker. I made the mistake of thinking that it really helps you out. Well it doesnt. The i4 doesnt have a high enough stall speed to make it do anything. The only way to race with an auto is to buy a 5spd. But seriuolsy get a auto teanny cooler for b&m or hayden. leave it in d3 and just smash the gas. Spend 500 bucks and get a lvl ten tc witha higher stall speed.

 

I bet it is. My mom as the 4-door sedan V6 auto and it hauls.

Its sportier.

At the track you should stay in D3 until the end because you have a lot of room in D3 before you hit D4.
