So what I have learned from this video is...
Roll racing is retarded when most people jump the gun on the horns and try to claim a win.

Racing a AWD vs RWD from a stop is also retarded. Obvious winner without even racing.

A probably set up rear wheel drive car will leave just as hard as the evo would.

This, Even 1HOTLS1's car, the stalled auto Camaro, launched pretty close with the Evo.

You keep thinking that, ive seen my brother in his GN pull(used loosely) more then one AWD car from a dig on the street. Its all in the setup.

I think from the dig the Evo should have given the hit (move first) to the TA. Thanks for the videos

how much power would an evo on 25psi make.... 370 on 30psi spike... 350 hold at 25psi???? put some tires on that thing so you can make fun of his green wheels.

a local buddy of mine has the same setup in his evo 8 RS. Stock cams, stock turbo, E85 and just full bolt ons. It makes 360awhp on pump gas and 430awhp/400awtq on E85. I only pull 2-3 cars on him from a 40 roll to 120 on a 100 shot (517rwhp)

Do people always have to leave early in roll races? Better setup + driver mod would help in the dig. AWD cars are far from undefeatable from a dig.

^Agreed!!
The very first run was the only good race and the evo still jumped. Can we get a driver mod for the firehawk??
