It's true...cars run much differently at the track than on the street.
For instance, my car sucks *** at the track...freaking mid 8s (street tires, 10 bolt, stock clutch). On the street however, I'll whoop up on cars that are in the mid to high 7s...it's all a matter of how the power kicks in. But still, FWD non-V6+ =

Wont bother reading last two pages.
If people have not figured out that homebrew turbo applications are all over the map in terms of performance then they are not even bench racing properly.
To the OP: nice kill. I hate tailgating.

If you are only nearly breaking 13's with a turbo setup, you shouldnt be driving a modded car 
You most have misunderstood what I wrote I was saying that I have never seen an N/A or non-nitrous RSX running in the 13's.

Damn thats a fast time for only 207 whp, what is the curb weight on his car?

Ahhh ok every rsx type-s ive seen is full leather and all options so even though its small i figured it weight in at over slightly over 3000 pounds. At 2750 and 211 whp a 13 second pass, with a good driver, is def doable.
