nice vid, but the description is pretty retarded.
"12 second evo" vs an ls1 on the bottle.

why did the "12 second evo" walk away from the ls1 from a ROLL while it was spraying?

no way in hell.

For some reason the nose looked like an LS1 in the video, but the tail lights were definitely LT1.

The description that was entered said it was a 12 sec EVO and a Nitrous TA.

It could have been a 12.000 EVO, who knows.

yeah, seems like the first run the ta let off while the civic was already ahead before the race started...

second run he was ahead and let off again...maybe he's worried of ruining the motor or hit the limiter, which i think i heard.....

I dunno if it was me but in the first race it sounded like the TA backfired and shot out flames. The second race sounded like he hit the revlimiter and backed off.

I know EVO's are fast and I myself like and respect them but to walk a T/A on the bottle that bad? I don't know. I'm not saying the EVO wasn't faster but if it is a 12sec EVO then something is wrong. Nice vid though!
