What's faster, a Yugo, a first gen VW Cabriolet, or a Pinto? Yeah, great question. Wait until you own a car worth 1/4'ing, then come again. :squint:
your earlier response was uncalled for, and he called you out on it....SO you asked for it

by the way if that 15.5 in your sig is correct. why dont YOU get a car that is "worth 1/4ing" lol. dont be a dick to someone just asking a question. and damn sure dont judge what is worth racing and what isnt.

by the way.......i do agree with ya on one thing from an earlier post...RWD is only way to go.

My car has issues, to say the least. It should be closer to a 15.1-15.2 if I get it straightened out. I use the 1/4 and dynos as a diagnostic tool to judge the condition of my car, not to race other pokey cars.

When I finish saving for my 13BT, that number will drop to about 13.5 overnight.

I had a friend that had a 92 Prelude Si, He had 2 10s, 17 inch rims, a cheapass header, a injen intake, and 2 1/4 piping with a tip and he ran 15.9 with a messed up tranny. The lude also had an h23 though. Not anymore though he just got done swapping the h22 in it.

Yeah, at least it had an H23. The F22 is much worse.

With the F22, it's just a glorified Accord. :chuckles:

so you admit its not worth "1/4ing" ? lol

P.S> heres what you should do, buy a grand national motor(3.8 turbo) and slap it in your your car. know a couple people that have done it in an 84 rx-7. lets just say they will clean the rode of most cars out there

Considering some of the other stuff that shows up at the tracks, 15.5 isn't bad. :chuckles:

I know a guy with an '86 base RX-7 that swapped his built Chevy smallblock into it. It FLYS like nobody's business.

That aside, Chevy/Ford swaps are frowned upon by the hardcore Rotary crowd.
