Default If you feel bad about not hooking on the street...
... you'll feel better after this. Video of a local race I threw together. Yes, they're both imports. No, IDGAF.

I wouldn't feel bad about not hooking on the street if the largest tire I could run also fits a Harley lol It might help if they run them in reverse so they get some positive weight transfer.

Good close race but TOO close for a 100Hp difference.

I feel like I need a can of bug spray though to stop that 4Cyl. buzzing in my ear.

Most 300whp Hondas aren't hooking unless they have a tire.

The Honda had four tires. And a hole cut in the hood for no reason.

They're great DDs. I was rolling around in comfort getting 31mpg in my TSX. However, too many people think they're racecars.

It's usually the losers who grew up not knowing that a V8 even exists.

That was supposed to be a race? It looked like they were just out for a Sunday drive.
