Now I don't know one way or the other if he ran the time or not, I wasn't there. But regardless, why is this forum so quick to hate each other.
We all own the same damn cars, why not encourage and support each other. Is everyone her 17 or something. What the hell!!!
I hope he did run that legit 13.57 and proves it as well beyond a resonable doubt so people have to eat the hate filled words.
go bash some hondas if you need to bash. it should all be positive here for fellow rx7 owners and enthusiasts

I R SAD PANDA W/O BAW
about the free microtech deal there were cetain guidelines such as you had to buy and use the microtech and also limits on weight reduction (I believe you had to have a full interior).
It is pretty hard to believe that he ran mid 13s without some proof.

mad scientist
His car is stripped to the point of not being streetable. He removed his freaking headlight motors for weight savings!!!! His car is a shell. Whats the point?
BTW, I STILL think his times are BS.

"Detruich" on the forum ran a 14.6ET in my old car that was very streetable, on 17" wheels with shitty tires and peg leggin' around (in other words open differential), so i guess a really really striped out car with slicks could hit 13s easily (this was on stock ports as well.

erm.
So, like, a couple months ago, you hop on the forum and tell people you ran a 14.5 on whatever your setup was at the time. You said that you thought you would certainly lose a second just by using slicks.
And then like six months later, you come back, and you've done what you've said.
If you're ******* with us, you sure are comitted, that's all I'll say. And I've seen pictures of ~2000# FCs. Heh. Hope your car doesn't look like that.
That said, if you can give us a timeslip or a video of it or ANYTHING, you would get rid of a lot of the horseshit that you've already put up with since (as far as I can tell) you've joined this forum.
Assuming you're not lying, congratulations. There are some other guys that are looking at running ~13.8-13.99s, but no one has ever even shot for a 13.5.

I'm almost inclined to believe your time, since making up something so BS worthy is almost ludicris...

According to the horspower calculator at http://www.dsm.org/tools/calchp.htm if he was 2000 lbs and the time he ran he would be 155-160hp.

"Take everything with a grain of salt."
I won't go into the obvious reasons, as others have posted them.
Too much people with "questionable" reputations make too many outrageous claims online.  I once had a guy who claimed he'd run a 12.6 @ 112 in an NA with "siamesed intake runners" with a Wolf3D.  They could not produce a time slip nor offer any proof backing such claims.  This is just one example...
Now, GLHS's claim isn't that far fetched, although not offering proof of the run surely degrades it's authenticity.
If anything, I was right about the full second drop in time with the slicks.

I agree that it would be possible on stock ports with slicks, exhaust, stripped car (not streetable), intake, and a nice cool day with high barometric pressure. Being at low altitude would also be helpful.
