I was at ST.Thomas dragstrip last night and I raced anothe MX-3 gsr, he ran a 14.48 with a cold air intake and straight through exhaust on street tires, I ran a best of 15.72 with my MX-3 gsr with Kumho 712 tires, stock exhaust and stock air intake.

It didn't happen to be a red Mx-3 with a silver hood and bumper did it?

Of course its not.. It falls under the catagory of I am to broke to use a dyno because i jsut spent all my money on my car so lets use this alternative method to rate the performance characteristics of my car.<P>Now just to get the police to approve of it..
