Estimated 0-60, and 1/4 mile times?

[jdmk20akid]

Obviously this vehicle is not intended to be a drag strip monster, but I'm just curious what everyone thinks the 0-60 times and 1/4 mile will look like in these Type R's. I'm pretty sure the current FK2 CTR's are seeing 0-60 in about 5.7 secs and 1/4 mile times of about 14.1.

What got me thinking was the fact that Hondata has a basic reflash for the 1.5t and they are hitting low 14's with only 240ish hp and 270ish lbft torque. Adding a LSD, and almost 100hp with additional torque with the 2.0t will be nice for sure, and a good bit quicker.

What do you guys think?

Here is a video of the Hondata tuning I was talking about. I just realized that they are using racing fuel, and a couple of other small modifications. So expecting that 14.2 on a bone stock 1.5t might not be that realistic.



Still interested in everybody's thoughts though!

Depends on the tires. DRs? Bottom 13s maybe. The problem is that FWD is the worst platform for drag racing, and when you throw in the huge performance delta of the driver manually rowing through the gears, you'll get results that are all over the board. Nevertheless, I'm calling it at 13.7x under ideal conditions with a really good driver. Unless it's specifically set up for the drag strip, pay more attention to the trap speed than the ET since that'll give you a better idea of how hard this thing is pulling. I'm hoping to see 110mph traps, but realistically I expect ~105-107mph.

Well a Heavier and less powerful Accord is hitting around 13.9 at 102, Mazdaspeed 3's hit high 13's around 100 mph too. This car has more power and tire than both of those, as well as lighter weight and a better differential than the Accord. I would bet 13.3 up to 13.8 depending on magazine/driver, but the trap speed should be at least 106, maybe up to 110. With just a tune and slicks 12's should be doable for a good driver. I can't wait to see!

Stock I am expecting 13.7-13.8.

The previous Gen went 0-60 5.6 and 1/4 mile in 13.8, I don't think we will see a significant jump in these "Drag Racing" numbers. That's not the focus of this car.

Yeah that's why my first sentence was saying I know that's not what the type r is intended for lol. But yeah I think that's about right for what to expect out of it.

I'd be surprised if this car doesn't hit high 12s with a good set of slicks. We had a couple MS3s hit high 12s with nothing more than DRs, rear MM, an intake, and a really good launch.

5.6 seconds for a 300hp plus engine isnt very fast. That isnt 300 hp off the wheels. Its only 300 off the Fly. Off the wheel you are getting somewhere around 220 hp.

I don't see slicks helping too much, but better tires than these rock hard Firestones for sure. Are people having traction issues? Down a strip with tack, I doubt this car can spin the tires at all.

Probably going to depend on how Honda tunes this car. Specifically the motor mounts and tuning/output in the lower gears.

Ya I hope it doesn't wheel hop like a bastard..

It is fast for a fwd. Look at 1/4mile time compare to focus rs wrx sti golf R, the type r is slower by about 0.6 sec so it crush them past 60 km/h and on a roll. 0 to 100 is slower cuz of wheelspin

Sooooo trueee!

There also plenty of proof on YouTube of these type r crushing focus RS and VW golf R's from a roll. Just saying

If you can't get into the 12's then you need to drive it more. I had a factory showroom stock 2008 Cobra running 12.96 at 109. Stats on that car, 3550lbs, 305 HP and 290 Trq. After learning the car I went from 13.88 to the 12s. It took about 65 runs. Car was even inspected and checked by Barry Sheppard of Ford Motorsports. The Civic has nearly exact spec yest ways 500 lbs less. It would take clear and learning curve but someone should beable to hit 12.75 no problem.

Traction is definitely going to be an issue. On the MS3, we couldn't touch anything below high 13s without a good rear MM. Wheel hop and 2nd gear grinds were prevalent in stock form.

Being the CTR is a heavily focused circuit car, I expect the same type of issues to exist.
