1st worthwhile race in a LONG time

04-18-2001, 08:17 PM

Well, i sorta got good news and bad news. the good news is that i got a 6.4 sec 0-60 on my speedo, but on numerous tries i couldn't get to the 1/4 mile because my fuel pump is starting to fail (one thing after another). I compared that to a car and driver article about the Honda S2000 and my car is .4 seconds faster 0-60 (very general comparison - numbers are sorta comparable). The S2000 does the 1/4 in 15.1 sec so i figure high 14's for my car (stock is mid 15's for my year car) and when i'm not sputtering to 60 i figure it'll be faster (I would actually DIE at about 65 because the fuel bowl would run dry), i also need to get money for a Air fuel ratio gauge so i can change my jets (plugs are glazed) and my cap and rotor are causing a misfire...

, oh well when i get those fixed i should be happy.
