I'm still surprised how slow the RSX was in the 1/4.. stock they do high 14's no? Even with a granny launch this car should be in mid to low 14's..
Nice article.

Too bad they didn't have Celicas (don't know why). I really would like to have seen how a XS Engineering Turbo Celica would have done against some of these Acuras/Fords SVT's.

i realize low 13's are pretty fast but can somebody shed some light on this for me? a stock s2000 runs low 14's stock POSSIBLY a high 13 under the right circumstances... but with 330 rwhp or lets say 300 rwhp... why arent people in the 12's? id think that you add 100-130 rwhp and gain only a second or less on your 1/4 mile time... my ?? is why? why arent our cars any faster with f/i
