To the track... my 80 tries the 1/4

[rhock99 at epix.net (Ryan H)]

14.8 is BADASS man!  I hope that's a massaged 2.0L engine, otherwise I've got tuning to do.  I have a heavy 1988 16V, stock 1.8L, TT exhaust, and I ran a 15.9 on poor street tires.  With my Falken Azenis Sport tires, I hope for a 15.7ish.
