Default Gabes tuning compilation

One of Indys fastest roll cars; I thought it was entertaining so I share despite the criticism I know will come.

fast car. But theres a lot of unconsistancies in the driving/riding. 10.5 at 146 is fast... but not really leaving a nitrous busa like its stopped fast.

The only bike in the video that I know the rider is very good is the Exhaust/Power commander R1. That bike went 10.0 @ 139.

Id have to watch it again to see which one that is. The 500+ hp evo did the best and i know there were cars/bikes in that video that would beat that evo. But either way, that looks like a fast civic that isnt ruined by gutting/race car stuff. I like it

That 500hp Evo was quicker than the 1000-1200hp Supra's, and almost everything else!

Gotta remember it's a turbo car, may have been running lower boost levels when racing the slower cars.... I know I didn't run around on max boost in my honda unless I knew I was gonna need it lol.

Not this again!! LOL. Nah cool vid man and thanks for sharing. I agree with the inconsistancy esp with the 8 sec supra, but just gotta take it for what its worth, roll racing street racing. Its all in good fun and the civic is no slouch. He must run low low boost and ramp it up for top end, i see he went 7.10@110 in the 1/8, my old heavy *** civic with 490whp b16 went 6.90s@103.

The car doesnt see full power until 6th, so putting it down has always been an issue. Hes got plans this winter and expect more useful power TX2k13

8mph diff is a significant difference in power as well. I'm just going to assume the 500hp evo and gtr were runs made on lower boost levels. We need to all use our common sense. He wouldn't trap 146 mph or be remotely close to 10.5 the way he ran those cars.

I would say he probably was playing it safe and putting lower power numbers to keep people from complaining that he was bragging about beating higher HP cars.

Yeah thats what i was getting at, that the car isnt really setup for 1/4 drag racing but more top end pulls

+1 my Integra went mid 10s @145 with only 630whp.... I'm sure that civic is making more then that.

Agreed, and it is very refreshing to see a civic that can look like that and be all business.
