Today i went for the first time and ran 7 times, I have no mods excpet comptech springs, and Im on stock tires that have 26k on them, it was about 80 outside, i didnt take my spare, jack out and i had a full tank of gas. 5 of the 7 times i ran 15.3's one time i ran 15.8 and the last race i got a 15.2.

Those are good times all things considered.

Are you using auto, SS, or gate shifting?

Err, and what 19s do you have on the way?

I was gate shifting, i had mostly .6-.7 reaction times, one .53, and a .45 once.......As far is the 19's, i have the Axis Se7en Mod (the new one that looks like the 3pc) the first shipment of the wheel is suppose to be in 4-6weeks.

15.2-15.3 is average time for the CL-S. On a less humid and cooler day, I suspect you can do 15.0-15.1, stock.

To improve your times, consider a CAI. That should net you a .2 sec saving on a cool day . Better tires will definitely improve your 60Ft times and eventual 1/4 mile times. If you have the cash, consider headers and lighter rims. With headers, I was able to consistently shave off .3 sec from my 1/4 mile. I have not try with the lighter rims yet, but will soon.

yup, i have i went the the track and saw a stick cl run 15.3 best. it was a hot day so i say he might have done better with some tricks like racing gas lower psi and a cooler temp. im guessing most stick CL's in s.cal run 15.1 or possible 15.0 with a close to perfect launch straight into vtec.
