I'm not calling BS on you dingo...but you've can't be too suprised that some are having trouble swallowing this. Depending on which mag or site those numbers you posted came from, it may or may not be realistic. Car & Driver, Road & Track, etc. ALWAYS post WAY higher 1/4 times than real enthusiast mags. MM&FF consistently posts times sometimes as much as .5 seconds lower in the 1/4 with the same bone stock cars. Maybe C&D get "friday" cars and the enthusiast mags get the "wednesday" cars. But even bone stock a Cobra will wax an Accord. I'd say the 14.00 you quoted is probably closer to 13.8-13.7 with even a capable driver. On the flipside, I'd be suprised (not amazed, but suprised) if a good driver could wring a 14.3 out of an Accord. But hey...that's just me. I'm not saying you didn't beat the guy...it's quite possible. Hell...I beat a Camaro SS in my Slownoma because the guy was such a terrible driver. I'm just saying that something is wrong with this picture. Either the guy was a horrible driver, he wasn't trying, or something was wrong with his car.

Now...Mustangman...please, for the love of god, try not to flame people on this board. I've spent a lot of time and put a lot of effort into getting these good folks to come around to the idea that not all domestic guys are a$$holes and hate imports. They're not my cup of tea exactly, but I just like cars...I don't care where they came from. If someone attacks you personally, feel free to empty the clip...just please, for my sake, try to do it respectfully (you know...passive-aggressive-like). I'd ask that all of the other members do the same. Just because the guy likes domestics and calls BS on a post like this (where, I might add, many of you did as well), it doesn't mean he's a troll.
