Auto, GT, 50k. Mid 17s with exhaust, intake, underdrive pulley, s-afc. MID 17s. Good lord. Other people say they hit low 16s bone stock, what could be wrong with my car? Where do I start? I'm going to check the compression, plugs, and then wires. Oil is good, anyone else got suggestions?

i've hit high 14's and mid 15's seconds with my st coupe. But that was before i took out my CAI. i ran with 14inch stock ST tires in front. and 17inch rims in back. and lowered all 4's to the floor. And most my shifts were redline.

What else did you have in that thing? CAI ain't gonna get you 14s with a 1.8L

- aba

I second that, there is nooooooooooooo way you got those times. Someone with a 3sgte swap would probably be in between 15 and 13, so how you could be down there with 105hp is just not possible, even with weight reduction, redlining, a cai that adds maybe 1hp, and stock rims, no way.

I third that...
