race / drag times !!! so lost
 

okay, okay, i know i might just be crazy. but im reading stories and threads here and everyone is like my ti rips, and im not doubting that. i love the compactness (?) of the ti and for a 4 banger its got balls, but has anyone tracked it, like drag? post some times up here, im interested, also post what kinda ti. i got the low end of the ti, active automatic....i know not interesting, but im headed to the track (island speedway, nj) in a few weeks. so im trying to see if i can show some bubble backs up or what?!

thanks guys, just trying to have some fun here.

Most bubbles and most honda's will beat you even if they are not swapped, they are light and very easy to work with.

okay.... i got you... but not my point here haha

non-swapped, non-FI Ti's are probably up in the 14/15sec range and higher. They are not fast or even quick cars for drag racing.

I road race mine, I can do a 2:42 and some change around Sebring at 3.7miles. I run NASA TTE, and I'm 100# over my minimum weight and still have some things I can do to the car to make it more competitive in class. Top prepared TTE cars that are well drivin can run under 2:40's. Class record is a 2:37 something, but that car is no longer considered legal for TTE. I did however take first place and second place a few weeks ago in a field with 6 other competitors, so i feel good about that.

So even highly modified and classed appropriately, the Ti is not a fast car with the 4-banger. The lack or torque through most of the RPM range is an issue. It is still a fun car to drive.
