For some reason I dont feel that comparing an all motor honda to a big single supra is fair but whatever the civic is stupid for trying

LOL, just messing around, dont get all upset.

Also it doesnt take a 3k camera to get good night footage, I have an sony that was a few hundered that does night vision, I made tons of night outdor **** with it. If ya plan on doing a lot of night videos they are great to have and night vision just looks cool.

I just dont like racing videos when I cant really see the cars at all.

that's another version of the race.

anyway, why hate on someone when they are just filming for fun? now, if they were getting paid, that'd be a whole different story.

Ace does have a sony camera and did use night vision. night vision and a light would do no justice for him, simply because he was 15-20 feet away.

Well it must be a different type of night vision cause mine works awesome. Im not hating on him at all. I just prefer vids where you can see more than lights.

supra's are notorious wheel hoppers with serious traction issues (specially on the street) and automatic (with stock stall as far as i know), so the only thing that would help would be suspension work and not driving skills.

oh, and the civic is fully built, set up for simply just drag; the supra is a daily driven car.

that car was non-existant for the first 60 feet of that race. There is no excuse for giving up that much ground to a FWD car off the line.. especially on MT's.

It's hard to hear but was he brake boosting that car before the launch? It's pretty weak to just blame it on the car, especially when there are many cars out there running very quick with just coilovers for suspension mods.

Supra wasnt trying. When he races faster cars he does a burnout. He didint with the Civic. You cant tell from the vid but the Supra beat the civic by like 4 cars in one run.

Here's a vid from the finish line. Theres about 4 different versions of the same vid with different angles.

That's kinda what i figured. It looked a lot closer in the other video. I guess i wouldn't bother launching my car hard either if i knew i had the race in the bag.
