Nope!

I think any street car under 14sec is quick. Especially an N/A which is almost stock.

I'm quite surprised about the time though? That is alot quicker than I think it is?

Stab in the dark here, but do DC5's with I/H/E get this kind of time??

IMO, you get what you pay for. Everyone wants a straight car with low kms at the lowest price. In reality if it was that easy, everyone would have one.

If you wanna pay $25k, find one yourself, take the risk and get it. But dont complain about this and that guy who has ripped you off when it goes wrong.

With imports, I have always bout one which is in the country, purely so that you can see it so that there is no suprises.

Good friend of mine bought a GTR a couple of years ago through an importer. Had all the photos in the wolrd looked great from every angle.

When he got it and realised that the photos were taken a year or two prior to delivery, when it was glammed up. Im sure you guys catch my drift.

I am not trying to put a dampener on anything or anyone, just wanna share what little wisdom I have.

13.97 for a stockish EP3 is quick. but from someone who doesnt know if its quick or not is alittle debateable. Did you use a GTECH timer ? OR is this @ the actual 1/4 mile ?

[joek]

did it at HEATHCOTE mate.... yes... coz for me 13.97 is not that quick for me ..... maybe coz i used to be a turbo owner, don't know much about the NA timings....
I think on the day of drag, there was a couple of honda people around too. They were all amazing about the "stock" speed.
