Default Obviously I love TA's but..

I love GM, obviously, but the owner was pretty confident to say the least at first. Just a little back ground, there is a local forum here that is fast/late model and clean car oriented, most have 500+HP, all the way through 1200ish. The guy in the T/A saw one of our guys Evo tag said V8 EATER and was extremely confident, and cocky about whopping him that he bet $200 on it.

Here's the vid:

In his defense, he was a lot cooler after the runs. Nice guy!

EDIT: For reference the EVO makes about 580WHP, the Integra made 714WHP running out of fuel so it was backed off to about 675WHP.

Also, keep in mind most of this is all in fun. If someone can take some punches, they are cool in my book.

It was just nice to have some action that night, we don't get much new blood out here.. haha

I never put my foot in my mouth, just because you have a 408 car, doesn't mean you're king of the street. Plus, as we all know... there will always be someone faster

EVO was sick! and the Integra was Insane!

yea like mentioned just because you got the big V8 doesnt mean you can go taking on EVO & ****..... if your going to go from a dig BETTER have some good tires. because it looked like he was spinning.... would of lost if he had traction. but it would of been a better run.

whats all done to the T/A besided the 408

Damn you Reza, selling that beautiful beast. I couldnt have done it. It would have had to stay in the stable & just added the Viper, LOL.

Too bad the guy in the video posted up that comment after the races. Could even lose with dignity, LOL.

Impressive too, thats not your run of the mill build 408. Sounds like a pretty well thought out drag combo.
