Yeah guys, I remember reading somewhere about a "Honda" (not sure if they included Acura in that) which does the quarter in 9.9 seconds without spraying or any forced induction (turbocharger, supercharger, etc.)

Is it true? I'm sure it'd have to be a small car... my guess being the S2000, but damn, I'm curious about this.

 

it's probably a hatch.


or maybe a CBR1000RR.

 

check out bisimoto in his f22 hatch...yes thats right f22 . last i heard he ran 10.0x but it could have been him who hit the 9.9

 

Pretty sure is not a S2000... Not known to be good drag cars...

 

It's Leslie Durst's CRX... I have the video on her 9.93s pass - I posted it here a while ago, here's the link:

Bisi ran a 10.03 I believe, not at this Pomona event. Yes, its a single-cam F22 hatch - great guy, BTW - friend of mine.

 

how did he get that power out of a f22..id like to know

 

single slam are known to have better low-ends... but on a f22, that's just crazy..

 

It's probably up at around 2.7 or 2.8L. Custom crank, rods, pistons.. cams... making about 300whp on a 1600lb car!

 

Single Slam?

The f22 is a single-cam motor (SOHC).

 

sorry, that's just what some of the guys call single cams. I meant it as a good thing...

 

I remember hearing/reading about Erick Aguilar's Civic hitting the 9 second barrier all-motor, but this car is not daily driven.

 

no 9 second civic will be daily driven...

 

 

No way... they are full race-cars running on Alcohol. The quickest NA Civic that can drive on the street (sans slicks, obviously) belongs to Max from Lucky Racing - 11.5s E.T. in the 1/4.

 

Damn, that's crazy.

Why don't these people supercharge/turbocharge their cars?

I'm sure it's speed they're going for, so... why not jam even more air and fuel into them pistons? Think that engine is pushed far enough already or what?

 

It is more fun that Y, to tell u I beat ur car without a turbo, supercharger or NOS. hahaha

 

It's a different category. However... they could turbocharge their cars... but have to rebuild the engine an entirely different way. All FI gives is more power.... and with FWD the first 1/8 mile is pretty even... and then a FI car starts pulling way. The FI cars run about 150-160mph in the 1/4-mile while the fastest NA car runs about 131. However, the FI cars have a weight penalty of 200-300lbs depending on displacement and # of power adders.

 

he should swap motors with me
