those are very respectable numbers for your car. Last na 2.5 i saw run 14.xx was demon, and his car had 190 something hp at the wheels, and he had alot of work done to it, which was done mostly by himself iirc. Originally posted by RawBurt:
I dyno at 177hp/155tq at SZ06 (which I thought was pretty decent)... A year ago I run a 15.4 1/4 mile. I go to the track this weekend with new mods including headers, opt'ed Y pipe, koni sport suspension, RSTB, subframe connectors... I was hoping for a 14.999, but Nooo0o0oooooooooo!!!  I'm stuck with a consistent 15.2x... After 3 or 4 15.2x's I became frustrated and the times started dropping 15.3x... 15.4x, then I called it a day. I want to be able to get into the 14's N/A and without a 3L, and I've done just about every supporting mod. What can I do to obtain a 14.999 or better?

Those are heavy wheels! My stock mystique wheels weigh ~35lbs with a tire. According to the specs the tires are 21 each... So about 14-15lbs each... These are the 6-spoke ones that came on the later mystiques... (98+)

thread mentioning 15" 8 spoke weight
Originally posted by gtsugran:
I purchased a 98 SE with the Sport package: 15" wheels, 8 spoke. When I called TireRack.com to order 16" aftermarket wheels I asked how much my 15" wheels weighed. They told me 22.7 pounds.
I purchased ASA JS1 16x7 wheels, which weigh 18 pounds.
Hope this helps.
not saying its true or not, just the only thing I found regarding it.
