Is it possible that you 1/4 miles times are wrong? How can a 91 Accord with a few mods running at 186HP beat an '03 TL-S???

seems a little falsified if you ask me...!

and i think H22A engines are rated at 200Hp and he said on his site that its 186.5WHP oh and its lighter...dunno about the 1/4 mile times or the dynos but that's wat he claims and sounds about right...i think if he said is car was a 12sec car then it would be something to question about

I can't disagree more. My '89 Supra Turbo was a demo. I don't even think the person who drove it ever removed the Targa top. Only thing "wrong" with the car was a dime sized dent in the drivers door. Car stickered at $30,400. I paid $20k. I'll take a dime sized dent for a 33% discount any day.

It was only a year old with 12k miles on it.

Sure its possible, but they aren't wrong, look @ my timeslips on my image station site. the 14.2 was on slicks and the 99mph was on street tires.

The car made 186.5hp/and 152 tq with factory flywheel ratings being 190/158, so I think that comes out to 217-220flywheel.

anywho its just an H22A1 with intake, header, exhaust, tuned vafc, and ecu. Car weighed ~3005 with me in it. Guess I got a freak motor.

The TLS originally in question, was like 27,499 with <500miles on it. I realize people probably rag on the demos, but Im sure the price may a little bit more negotiable. From my recent question I understand I want navigation, but ABP w/ navi is hard to come by let alone be "inexpensive". If anyone knows of an abp with navi with LOW miles or a good deal at their dealership, let me know please
