05'tl 6spd 1/4 mile :) :)

Went to the zMax drag strip over in concord and was able to pull of a 14.29@99.87mph!

I don't have a scanner or any way to put the time slip up right now, I'll get it as soon as possible though!

R/T .226
60' 2.292
330 6.198
1/8 9.347
MPH 78.88
1000 12.027
1/4 14.290
MPH 99.87


Pretty much stock TL with some better tires I think I can do just a little better?? hopefully! I launched at around 2.5K. Opinions welcome on how I can further improve my 60' time

Good stuff man, 14.2 is really good!

I can't believe you're pulling 99.87mph ETs with a nearly stock TL! How were the conditions?

It was pretty cool, the temp was in the low 60's. Almost no crosswind and the trap was pretty sticky. I'm pretty close to 100mph I'd love to see it happen. I think with the ATLP J-pipe I'll be able to do it!

nice time. Drop that 60ft to a 2.1 and you might see 13.9!

Good pass. Work on the 60ft and you might be able to see 13's.

Once I get some new tires I'll be looking to improve my time


Question: I lowered my tire pressure to 32 PSI in the front for the run, what if I raise it just a little bit, could I see a higher trap speed?? Maybe break 100 MPH??

Thanks for the support and comments

Lower ur front tire psi to 28-29, and keep the rear at 32. So ur front get more traction.

You could see 13.9 with your setup. You just need to drop your 60ft. 13.9@99MPH isn't out of the question with a 2.1 60ft. With Intake you should see a higher trap speed! Good Luck!

Nice run; what track was this at?

zMax over in Concord NC. Brand new track, 4 lanes, basically one of the best drag strips in US.

For some reason I always thought he had a Type-S

I'll be at the track this Friday again so I'll try something different. I usually launch at around 2.5K, what if I do it at 4K, could that improve my 60'??

I have some very shitty tires called SUNNY They only have like 10K miles on them but they are so freaking loud!! The dealer put them on and now I'm just waiting to get some rims, then I'll switch out the tires.

lol, you probably think he has a Type S because his username is types-09...

SUNNY...never heard of that...seems like you are traction limited..anyways, good luck and record it if you can!

13.9 can be done. Its all about the first 60 feets...

Hell, I did 14.33@100.7 - 2.356 with a short ram intake.

Launch is everything. I wish I went to the track when my car was stock. Remember though, type-s09 had tires and also TB spacer when he ran at the track, not just intake. I'm not denoting his time at all! I'm just saying..

With a low 2.1 60' you could probably see 13.9. I need to do the same thing, work on my 60'.

I was right. I told ya the TL 6MT's can do very low 14's stock and at 99~ 100 mph.

Good job, OP. You've done it at 60F and guessing mild humidity.. With colder and dry weather your car will run faster. The only draw back would be the grip... Concentrate on the traction.

It's near stock. If driven well the TL 6MT will see 14.2 sec. This is nothing new. You are being against it because you are the Accord fan.

Thats what you said. You didn't say near stock. You said stock. You were wrong! I have never seen a stock TL pull off those numbers bone stock unless you can find a timeslip for one.

^^Jeff at TOV.
Going back to the J32 engine, we also found that it makes the car a stellar performer at the drag strip, even with the hindrance of FWD. We ripped off repeated 14.4 runs in the 97-98 mph range until we finally managed to nail a nearly perfect launch and extract a 14.20 @ 98 mph pass with a 2.16 60 ft. All this in a 3500 lbs car with half a tank of gas, 200+ lbs of driver and camera equipment on factory tires at stock pressures. That's right, we didn't even drop the tire pressure. We performed our dragstrip testing at Montgomery Motorsports Park in Montgomery, AL. The elevation was about 100 ft and temps were in the 55-60 F range.
You can also consider Car & Driver pulled a 14.3 @ 99 on an A-spec. Motor Trend a 14.25 @ 97.81, also an A-spec. The normal version 6MT is usually a consistant 14.4 @ 97-99 mph, but 14.2's have been done. When you consider normal variations in track, temperature, elevation, driver, tires, and even the car itself, this all seems pretty normal.

^^Great minds think alike.
The 6MT could break 13's with bolts and tires. The TLS 6MT should do that stock, but needs really good tires.

Based on your posting *history*, you are the Honda Accord fan boy. Because you own one, you try to justify everything you possibly can. You think it's a Honda supercar....

Again, I told ya I was right. Considering it was done in Alabama at the temp of 60F I'm pretty sure the DA wasn't good, and they still managed to get 14.2 sec on a stock TL with stock factory tires.. The low elevation helps, but I bet it was pretty sticky too at the time. Just imagine with the DA @ -1000 ft or so and with aftermarket sticky tires you are looking at easy 13.9x sec. So yes, winstrolvtec, you guessed it very well. There are bunch of morons who ran at the track but have no clue about DA's....

lol dead quiet? I don't live on Acurazine like you do. I never doubted that a TL 6spd could pull a 14.2 since there has been a few 7th gen accord V6 6spds already to pulling that stock. I just said I had never seen it yet. So its great that TOV got only one pull of 14.2 out of the many tries and got a 14.4average. There isn't anyone on this site that has done it obviously if you couldn't find one. You only found one run by TOV!

Motor Trend and Car and Driver don't count. I thought you were the one who was really against mag racing!l lol. Those are not real world times. They are timed by their equipment. They give us an idea of what he car will run in the real world but its not running the car down the track.

You still haven't found a timeslip for me manual transmission!
