Car slow...

Sorry if this shouldn't be here in tech help, I'm just thinking that there must be something wrong with my car to cause this. I was looking up 1/4 mile times and saw that the 93 honda civic ex says a 1/4 mile time of 16.5, but mine was about 18.1 stock. With intake, header-back exhaust, and full msd ignition (and 17" wheels that are 18.5 lbs each), my time is mostly 17.3 (and i got a 17.2 once). My car is automatic, but should the time be that much worse?

If the quoted time was for a manual...yes. It also might matter that your car is 15yrs old, may not make as much low-end torque, and may not be being launched i the best manner.
