i had a friend with a 93 trans am automatic stock ( homemade intake) ran 13.8/13.4 i cant remember but either way the hondas didnt stand a chance>>>>>>>>>

Wow, are you sure thats all he had done? 1993-1997 Trans Ams had the LT1 V-8 (285 hp) and I've never known for a stock auto LT1 to run faster than a 14.3-14.4 (manuals run 14 flat) My best time has been a 13.5 @ 104 (also bone stock auto, w/ factory ram air) but most of the time I run 13.7s-13.8s @102-103. Its pretty dern fast for a factory car, and also has a nice pleasant ride for taking it easy... with better than average handling.

She may not look much, but it doesn't matter when it's hitting 11s.

Not my Accord. A guy from Hawaii I used to talk to a several years ago. This was back in '99, and his best time was an 11.95. Regulations on that island made him run his car on a full interior, full exhaust. Here's some more info:



Fully built 2.2 non-vtec SOHC motor running on DFI and a mild t3/4 turbo at the time. Please excuse the huge pic.

It was his daily driver and I don't recall of him having any major problems. It drove like a champ. People have to often understand with immense power increases over a stock profile, reliability can take a toll if proper preparations aren't met. Don't think those guys with Supras, RX~7s, and the like don't have problems.

Like the old saying goes, "If you're not breaking parts, you're not making enough power."
