Im not at sea level, track elevation is 4300ft. The trans Am ran a 15.1 at 91.9mph and was freaking out that i trapped just 2mph slower with a slipping clutch. I heard the correction factor for the elevation here is 3/4 to 1 second slower.

dude are you guys not forgetting??? ELEVATION HAS little/ NO SIDE-EFFECTS ON A TURBO CAr.. YOU already are pressurizing above atmospheric pressure so outside pressure means nothing.. If I run 12.2 at 0 I will run 12.2 at 5000.. It really only hurts N/A vehicles..

it kinda makes me laugh.. i have 2100lb 87 crx si, stock motor with various "massaging." about 2 years ago i gtech'd a 15.6 @ 92 mph. uphill on a slipping clutch. so why must all these guys resort to acura motors and or turbos in order to break 14s?? (obviously 12s have to be get there fudge packed) a sloppy shifter caused me to run a 17 flat the other day until i get drunk, grab the hobart and crawl under her. i had a 94 civic dx and that was one gutless d16 if i ever had one.

my theory: newer hondas = obese and less stamina

ok, last weekend i got the cyberdyne gauge to read in the 13's.... finally, 13.8, didnt think to check the top speed of the run though, but now that im finally there (13's), i will soon be traveling to richmond to try to get some slips. on the same day i had a late 90's model z28 throw me a rev at the light.... stayed 2-3 lengths in front of him up to 80 mph (in a 45) then he backed off... then i backed off, didnt complete the 1/4 mile at full throttle and finished with 14.0, so im pretty sure i can squeeze a little more tenths out of her.

<-- gives self pat on the back for making a dx a 13 second car NA, also kicks self in ass for dumping 4500 into a dx. still proud of the accomplishment though!
