Quarter mile times....

I saw a 98' Civic HX with intake, headers, exhaust, and suspension, that ran a 15.7 in the quarter mile...does that sound accurate?

I mean I don't mean to be brief about it but... a ex or si with those mods would run those times with a GOOD driver... the hx is as slow as a honda comes...

theres more to the story than ihe if those are his times... I could be wrong but that doesn't look right at all to me. (I"m not much of a 1/4 mile guy though)

That'd be a tad bit too slow. He could have had more done that opak didn't see...

Maybe he had weight reduction? Maybe it was a stripped HX? That or he had one of those tornado air filter things and wanted to keep it a secret.

i ran 15.9 stock, the toy i just recently finsihed putting together for a friend ran 12.1 @ 114 last weekend but that one makes a significant amount of HP.

that civic prolly had a 60 or75 shot of nitrous to pull down those times.
