how fast does a 92 Sc300 go 0-60 and a 1/4 mile? i wasnt sure if the numbers i was looking at was for a manual or auto, i guess it was an auto because there are a great deal more autos then sticks

SDSC300

you mean how slow does a stock sc300 do the 1/4 mile right


I beleive mid to high 15's @ around 85-90ish. auto

I was wondering the same thing myself. 2 of my friends want to race me with there rice burners . One is a 4 banger 5 speed eclipse (base model, like 130hp i believe), the other is a 2k prelude 5spd. Both have a few minor bolt on's, like a muffler and intake...nothing major. I am pretty sure i can beat the eclipse but i am expecting to get raped by the prelude.

My stock SC300 5-speed, went 15.01 @92 mph, with 167,000 miles on her .. so it can break into high 14's with the correct driver and conditions.

0 - 60 in 7.8 sec.....pretty slow.

Race on the highway. You'll have better chances plus most Honduhs have a speed governor at 120 mph and we don't, so you can go about 155 mph if you're car was healthy. I had a thread going not so long ago about me going 142 @ 5000 rpm with an M3 behind me (that couldn't catch up and was falling behind slowly).

ChrisSC300

yeah i read your thread. Impressive. I havent taken her to 155 yet, 120 has been my max. I am a bit scared to push it that hard, but i dunno...maybe one day.

SDSC300

make sure your tires are speed rated that high ... wouldn't want any of you to wreck your SC's ... ya or hurt yourselfs I guess jk

DIrEctQL

Good point, my tires are ZR rated. Heheh.

PS. I hit 140 two times. One time I was racing a Porshe Carrera and the second time M3.

You will be able to beat the Eclipse RS and GS, both off the line and at speed, but not the GS-T or GSX. The latter models are turbocharged and will give you a good run.

However, the Prelude is a different problem. Preludes available with 5-speed manuals are SH models and those make 200 hp. As light as they are, it will give you problems, especially with a couple mods. Our cars are considerably heavier, even though we make 225hp.

I have a friend with a 98 Prelude (not SH), and my 97 SC300 can go only neck-to-neck with him. Both stock.

damn, i can't take a GS-T?

DIrEctQL

Sure you can! Due to AWD these cars start shutting down after 100 mph. If it's stock then you will take it. Stock they run high 14s/low 15s. They're not fast till you start modding them.

I hit 120 racing a Dodge stealth. Good race, neither of us pulled at all, it was dead even the entire time. He had an intae and muffer, my car was stock. But i was overdue about 6k miles for an oil change plus i didnt know how to drive back then.

SDSC300

is your car auto?

ChrisSC300

yes, my car is an auto . But all i used to do was wait for the light to turn then floor it, nothin more. Now I have figured out what power breaking is and to ease off the throtle just before shifts.
