That sucks that you got screwed but you should have known to do the carfax before buying the car, not after.

how handsome I am
works well here.sorry to hear that yo.
2800 is still a hell of a deal for a first car... especially if it looks clean for having 191xxx miles on it...

Tell me this, would you believe that a d15 engine with a stock bottom end can run 10's? And just to let you know in advance, it's been done... Rage motorsports are the ones that hold that record in their crx. Jason is the owner of the shop btw...
And honestly, no one would give a fuck if you posted the thread in those boards. They go to their boards to read about their cars, not ours.

Have you calculated gear ratios in your equation? And it's 220 to the wheels. Making it roughly 260-270 to the crank. Roughly the same as an Evo's crank hp and roughly the same weight. They pull 13's easily. Now, I'm not comparing the CL to an Evo saying it's the same shit, but look at the power to weight ratio of both cars (shinney's in this case, not a stock CL). Pretty similar. Nevertheless, anything is possible, something you cant seem to understand. His last set up ran him a 14.09 I'm more than sure he can run a 13.9 with his new set up, with the right outside temp, with the right tire pressure, with the right 0-60ft time, with the right tunning, with the right stuff out of his car. We're talking about a difference of less than 1/10 of a second for him to break into the 13's. It can be done...

the closest thing i can think of to shiney's car is the mazdaspeed mazda6 and srt4's
but 220whp is about 165 to the crank, but he doesnt have much power mods to support the n2o, just his lightweight tranny, and h/i/e

Anyways, he has more than that. By far, way more. And tuning is everything. I believe his car is tuned as well.

Again, there are a lot of factors that come into play when dealing with drag. Power to weight ratio is more of a platform.
Like shinney said, looking at the trap speeds does help in determining what the car is capable of if traction was an issue. I have a friend that run's low to mid 13's in his EK, trapping at 120mph. We all know that's a 12sec car easily with traction.
