new vette vs. jrsc lude - Honda Prelude Forum

Well I lost, but not by much....

We lined up at a light and I smoked him...when I slowed down he pulled up next to me and said that he miss shifted second gear. So I asked him if he wanted to go again.

We went from a roll (about 40mph) and he got a car length on me, but I then hung with him until about 90-95, but couldnt make up that car length. He didnt want to talk after that...

the new vette????

dont they have like 350hp????

geramy · 08-12-2003, 10:42 AM

it was brand new, still had temp. tags on it. Some kid driving his dads car I'm sure, and probably couldnt drive as seen with the missed shift.

350 crank horsepower, and they run mid 13's. I run mid to high 13's so the race would be close

and u have an SS?!

good run man!!!

High 13's on street tires with an SS?

holy mooly! nice one

ludekiddie · 08-12-2003, 03:59 PM

you don't run 13's on street tires with your ss. slips please.

Vapor · 08-12-2003, 04:10 PM

He does. I'll happily vouch. and wasn't that on 18's before you got the VPAC and that other stuff?

It's not like I'm asking you for a dyno to back up the 240 hp claim in your profile.

EDIT: actually, maybe I should, cause you've only got I/H/E on there. 240 from I/H/E?

Nice run, good to see you've adjusted to that thin air well.

geramy · 08-13-2003, 08:21 AM

Yes it was on 18's
Sea Level run, on a 55 degree night with 94 octane pump gas.
No Vpac
No N1 catback (had just a R*SR muffler and 2.5" piping)
No high Flow Cat
No Ignition or Coil

The car likes it here in Colorado...I get better gas mileage...but I am only reading 6lbs of boost instead of the 8-9 I got a sea level. Damn the Thin Air!!!

^^ props again to geramy w/ the fastest SS

MugenPoweredLude · 08-15-2003, 09:20 PM

im sorry but i need to see some slips to believe an SS runs that fast
i just cant go by word of mouth
and if you do more props to you but im the type of person that needs to see things for themselves

99Prelude_LC · 08-16-2003, 10:25 PM

lol he has slips get over it. his car ran 13s

he has the choice mods for a jrsc, good race man. I miss the boost hehe

How fast is your car?
How fast is your friends car on the other side of the country?

Many automotive tests also use this factor when giving 1/4 miles stats. This way you could run a car at sea level and have an identical car running at 6000 feet. The car running at 6000 feet will be considerably slower but by using the conversion factor you would see they run the same. Just because someone says they have a car that run's low 13's doesn't mean much against yours unless they are on an equal playing field.
If you really want an accurate conversion, then do your calculations with density altitude. A car running on a high density altitude at sea level will be slower than than same car running on a low density altitude at 3000 feet elevation.

To convert your Quarter Mile ET and MPH to sea level times, multiply applicable factor times your ET or MPH. Altitude above Sea Level (in feet)
First Column is altitude above Sea Level in Feet
Second Column is what you multiply your 1/4 mile ET by
Third Column is what you multiply your MPH by

Now that you see all this I went to the track last friday...will post slips if you want me to and I ran a 15.436 @ 93.4 mph
There was a guy there who was measuring the Density Altitude and it was at exactly 8000 ft above sea level and 84.5 degrees

if you notice on the chart above for every 100 ft above sea level you subtract .0013 from the number you multiply your ET by to get the correction factor for sea level

Now we find out that at 8000 ft. we need to multiply our ET by 0.899 (6000 ft = .9250- (20)(.0013) for 8000 feet

15.436 X 0.899 = 13.87

Now if I remember correctly I said that I ran a 13.89 at sea level on a 55 degree night....

Do you still not believe me???? If so I will post my slips
