That is fantastic but everyone will call bs till you provide a timeslip.

I hear that taking your belt off will make a big difference too.

If you did then yes, its great!

I ran a 14.9 with i/h/e and MILD weight reduction....no times since udp and more serious weight reduction.

from what I remember on the timeslip page someone else ran a 14.8 with just I/E so it's definitely possible.

Is it an I4 too?

That's not right at all... auto doesn't slow it down THAT much. That's stock time for a manual, and there's no way I/H/E just get an auto down to manual realm, because I have beat stock-to-near-stock manuals many times.

come on bro! how the heck u ran 14.7. with just a CAI, at cat.

i'm asian an all that i know im ok with drivin on the drag race.... i got an CAI,Headers, Pully, Exhaust. i still can't get 14's....best run for me was 15.0
HAHAH i like how you found it necessary to add that. lol.

I ran a 14.901 with a CAI and catback, and that was wheel hopping all through 1st gear. With a motor mount and a Engine dampener, I don't see how a 14.8...maybe a 14.79 would've been out of the question. That was on a 68 degree night.


Oh yeah, it really really helps if you know how to drive...

I am going to just spoil this little party and call B.S. now until I see a timeslip (at least) to back this up. I find it interesting that the people who claim to run under a 15 flat in nearly stock form never have a slip to back up their claims. There are very few people that I believe when they say they can run a sub 15 sec 1/4 mile with minimal mods such as I/E only in a Tib GT V6.

As it is, the timeslips page, just for reference, has a few I would currently call into question that were in place before I took it over, but I'm not going to pull them off of the page as I can't prove the suspect times originally posted way back when (before I took over the page) are B.S.

everyone here needs to realize not all tracks are created equal

for example, i have a 1/8th track here in SD that is a absolute POS that i ran around 9.6 @ 74mph with a stage 1 on. I went up to LA when i was IHE and ran a 14.9 there N/A, which if you go to a conversion chart a 9.6 in the 1/8th translates to about a 15 flat in the 1/4. and i know for a fact with the stage 1 on my car it was a good amount faster than when i was IHE.


So dont think hes just making up a number just because you cant run that fast at your local track.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'd prefer to see a slip before I take his word. He wouldn't be the first member to make up stories concerning the performance capabilities of his car.

I make 700whp on a stock block with just Intake and exhaust and run a 11 second 1/4 mile. It was on TV but you guys do not get that channel and that is too bad. It was amazing and when I made it to the end of the track all the playboy bunnies from 2001-2007 were running around my car naked giving me eggo waffles and pouring syrup all over themselves.

(the above story is about as belivable as the 14.7 without a timeslip and/or proof that it happened. when you go to the track, they give you a slip. it takes .5 seconds to scan it and post it here.)

I'm not sticking up for anyone, but most drag racing cars are atuo's or some sort of slap shift. Auto's shift at the right time all the time but I still prefer manual + auto transmissions aint cheap to fix.

ok guys here ya go i cant take a pic of the slip cause the ink print does not pick up on the camera
I could have gotten a better time but it was getting cold out and dark so i called it a day till next year
60: 2.171
330: 6.149
1/8: 9.426
MPH: 76.50
1000: 12.290
1/4 14.700
MPH: 91.98

what i did to reduce wheel hop was slip the clutch of the line and wow what a big difference, before when i was wheel hoping i was getting 15.2's i have a video of my car running a 14.9 for sure and if i look around i have a vid of it running
14.79 or my friend has it

I believe it. I ran a 14.78 @ 92 mph, 2.1 60' at Virginia Motorsports Park when I had my 2003 GTV6. It had at the time a Injen CAI, MBRP exhaust and Nick Boers Underdrive Crank Pulley.

It's all about that launch for you people who doubt. a 2.1 60 foot will make the difference between breaking in the top 14's or banging low 15 sec 1/4's. Most people who complain about getting low 15's with similar mods are snatching 2.3 sec 60 footers. Tough $hit. learn to drive.

BTW, before I traded up to an 04 SE the fastest I ran my 03 was 14.5 @ 95 mph which included the above mods plus a fidanza flywheel and centerforce clutch. Still had the 2.1 sec 60 foot (Michellen Pilot sports were sticky but at their limit @ 25 psi) but my 1000 foot time and 1/8th mile improved from the clutch/flywheel. which resulted in the 14.5.
And thats with EVERYTHING in the car but not having a sunroof helped out on the weight. Still have the slips for anyone that wants to call BS on this one.

Slip the clutch off the line.....meaning..? Riding the clutch? Or just easing off the clutch?

and for all the people that are calling bs learn how to drive and maybe you can run 14.7 instead since you cant drive, you like to rip on the ones that do

I can drive just fine, come down here if you want me to show you.

Everyone is calling BS and is still calling BS till you post a timeslip and vid. Hell I can spend the night hunting one down from another forum and claim it as mine and say I ran a 7@233mph but that does not make it true. As a rule of thumb always post a vid or a timeslip and you will not have these probs.

I am off now to finish off my waffles.

i ran a 14.8 with short ram and testpipe and spare tire and backseats out
140k miles on the motor
6 speed
ill look for some of my slips later at work right now

btw i ran 15.3 when my car was stock (unless whoever had it before me did some kind of internal motor or ecu work)

so i completley believe him

With a 6 speed i believe it is possible to run a 15 flat with a stock 6 speed eventually its just a matter of driving perfect... and with a really good set of tires

tomorrow my mom said she will scan the time slip at her work so it will be up tomorrow

I'm not trying to rip on you man.......like I said, once the slip and/or video - that actually shows the time reading at the trap display at the end of the track mind you- appears; I'll believe your claimed numbers, but not until then.

You have got to understand, there are a LOT of people that have come and gone over the years that have posted the exact same things as you are now with regards to your numbers while also stating such things as....."I can't scan the slip"; "I can't find the video"......"I'll post it later and show you all".....etc, etc; and then we wait, and wait....and no such proof ever appears.

Excuses get old.........solid proof never gets old. Call me cynical I guess, but every time I post anything about my Tib, I have slips AND video to back it up before the thread even gets created.

Call me cynical...I guess Evan "Egoff" ruined it for me as far as believing anyone anymore without pictures, not that I ever believed a word of what that buffoon ever typed.
