And again, I already said that I was trying NEW THINGS on each run to try and improve. If you switch stuff up every run, you're not gonna run the same each run. And I was quite happy with that first run, as it's the fastest stock Integra GS-R time I've ever seen or heard of. Not bad for a 9 year old, 152k mile car

i cant speak for the 1/4 mile but in an 1/8 a tenth is about a car length

i would consider a close race to be a bumper to a 1/4 car length

if i got beat by a car length,by an equal driver i would not consider it a close race
A tenth is about a bumper.

I wasn't bashing you I was merely pointing out that I wouldn't consider that consistant. I got it that you were trying new things and trying to figure out what worked. You just stated that it was consistant when it isn't if you compare it to cars that are consistant. Those are pretty good times for an Integra. I just wouldn't call them consistant as you did. Its not really important.

A tenth is on average a car length. A hundredth is about 1/4 to 1/2 and a thousandth is a bumper. On average.

this whole thing just made me laugh, the heavier car w/ less power is a drivers race, and ls1s only lose to cobras on the top end when theyre "starving for air."

Ok... and I do believe EVERYONE in this thread was saying that the LS1 has the edge top-end. We are talking about from a stop.

right there he said they only loose on top end when they are starving for air, or was he talking about what someone else said?

First off, he was being sarcastic, using a portion of what somebody else said. Second, that in particular was about '03-'04 Cobras.

im not even gonna read all this but take it from somebody that owns both....a mach 1 and an ls fbody is a drivers race...throw an orx on the mach and a set of 410s it will eat a stock ls1....but once the ls1 gets a few mods n/a 32valve cars arent a match...the 32v is a killer engine but it can easily be beat...

Where did someone say that a N/A 32 valve can make power to their redline? Point this out... If you can't, I think you are just talking out of your *** which (correct me if I am wrong) probably got you banned in the first place.

WTF? How do you figure the LS1 is a faster car? I want to hear this...

And I would call a carlength a close race. If you can't read someone's license plate...that is not a close race.
