It does look/sound like he won the 1st race by a buch of car lenghts.... on the second race it sure looks/sounds like he let off the throttle.

If that hatch had what they said it did that's one quick car. If you're going to go from a roll go from atleast 40. 20MPH was a huge handicap for the Civic; FWD and no bottom end.

25 cars my ***. Don't you think someone is gonna let off the throttle after gettin' pulled that hard? You measure car lengths to when YOU let off? Cause if so, I beat this drag foxbody that broke at the line at the track by like 30+ cars. I rock.

He was wide open throttle the entire time for both runs, I braked before him on the first run when I got to his door, the second run he did not let off. Wind noise and the fact that all the noise from the car is the exhaust, you aren't going to hear much of anything from a front view of the GTO. I took him by 25 cars from the second race.
Yep I saw you reelling him in, but I would say the race was over by that point. When you get that far behind and running from a roll then yes I would call that having trouble. I hope your proud of yourself racing nearly stock cars with all the mods that you have. Show me a video of you beating a turbo goat then I'll be impressed.

If you know the owner, he won't. He had eight cars on me on the first race, if that was me, I would have stopped and tried to go again. He thought something was wrong with my car in the first race, yet he still decided to keep the pedal down. He always rips on his car, he even knows his was still wide open throttle. Look at the video, watch how fast it goes from behind him by a fender to burning by him to looking in the side mirror and seeing his small headlights. When I get my car tuned, I will get a race going with my friend Jordan's 600whp Z06 and post the video, I will hang decently.

first of all, I call major, the most major BS Ever. This Ricer is A douche, If you are rolling a built motor with what i assume is a turbo, cause i don't know numbers and crap(GT35), then where is the spool???? I heard nothing and saw no hard up top pull from a turbo, no lag, no nothing. I am just disappointed. First race, LOSS! Second Race, there wasn't one!!!!!!! WEll, My Opinion, which isn't much, but looked like a load of crap to me.

The difference between you and me is that I compare apples to apples. I wouldn’t dare put my car next to a head/cam F-body with an auto, big stall and sticky tires over a short distance, even if I do have twice the hp he does. No comparison because the cars are set-up differently. And it would be a joke for him to race me on the highway from a 60roll.
In conclusion, you're an idiot and I would LOVE the opportunity to race you in my car, which is built to the same degree as yours, because I would ******* DESTROY you from any speed under any conditions you asked for. We can race from 100 to 180mph if it gives you false hope that you might win. My car is set-up to rip *** on the highway but still punks out little ***** like you at stoplights. You need to be humbled. When do you race that ZO6?

Let's not let this turn into a import vs. domestic pissing match please.
I'm so sick of the "if the GTO had been 'fully built' like the honda" crap. Run what ya brung, and if you lose, be a man and admit defeat.
And please, don't let me hear the "v8's are the past, japan is the future" crap either.

I wish my car wasnt mangled...ide be up for some fun racing. I havent even had one good race since I built the thing. I guess I need to go hang out in the WC area more often to see what I can dig up. I have no idea what my car makes for power or how fast it will run. So Im game for running just about anyone with anything
