LX's are pretty freakin quick. An awesome driver in a LX could hurt an average 99+ GT driver.

Some of those LX's, like I said with a capable driver have kissed 13's stock. Takes one hell of a driver to do it, but it can be done.

One type of car responds very well to small mods. A slow one.lol.

Nah jus playin with ya, thats a decent run for an LX, yes with a couple more mods you can get 13's, oh and drop some stuff outa the car. Yeah he can beat some 99+GT's. Not everyone has one that will turn in the 14's or 13's ya know. Remember alot of us havent seen one run better than a 14.8 anyway.

Add gears, 3.55's a set of headers, H pipe, take as much out as you can and it will pick up alot. If you wanna get serious get a decent cam and heads. More on that later, if you wanna know...

Man are you on crack....You mean to tell me that a car with only 225 Horsepower and 3.08 GEARS can run a 13 second quarter mile stock and a 260 horsepowered car with 3:27 gears can only run 14.2.......wow and you say the intellegence factor on here is low....now i know why.
