Hey guys - been away for awhile....

Haven't posted here in awhile but I still have the 04 6mt and am lovin it.

I left the Acura dealership that I had worked at for 8 years a couple months ago and have been just enjoying life. Not too much racing lately, even though my car currently has nitto drags on the front cause I blew one of my 19's out AGAIN. Anyway I was thinking about ya'll today and figured I'd check in and give you a little present...

This is not bracket racing either..Blown launch big time-I find this happening alot to cars I race. The fwd with nittos or other racing tires have a very predictable launch. I see that the thread below this is about the cars you have beaten-I'm here to tell you I've beaten all the V-8's you wanna talk about. Sometimes straight up, and sometimes if they make a minor error. I have not looked at any posts yet but my NA 6mt runs 14.0X @ 100. I look for vettes, mustangs etc at the track-it makes it fun to be the underdog!

A 100mph run in my Tl-13.9's just a hair away as this was into a 12-15mph headwind..

I know-

When I bought my car my goal was to have it below the time of my 911 (13.4@ 103) and I knew it would take nos. Now I don't want to hurt the car as it is getting some age(2 yrs) and am just searching for the elusive 13's. If someone actually hit sub 14's na I have to say there must be something else going on. 13.7 with just intake and exhaust as I have is just not possible. Believe me noone can push the car harder than I have, There is only a tenth or so max without addl. mods. Funny though how fast it is-takes people by surprise.

You've seen my times, on a 5AT. 13.71 with just blower, and 13.12 at 107 with spray. But you are right, 13's on a NA is very hard to do.
