Look at the import fwd drag scene there cutting 60foot times thats rwd cars are....

YES GUYS FWD CARS DO NEED DRAG SUS,SPOOLS,AND TRACTION BARS!
OMG?! Is that big news to everyone now lol
Learn somthing..
I dont like fwd, but there are ways around things you know

My car is a low 12 sec street car and with more seat time i'll get her in the mid 10's at the track. Does your car do that?
The analogy: Fat kids eating cake is like building a FWD import. Admitting FWD sucks (admitting cake is bad for you) but continuing on your path is poor logic.
Does my car do that? Well, if you want to run at the track, I'm not worried, in either of my cars, even at you mid 10 second goal, much less what your car runs now. If you want to run bridge to bridge, who knows... Since I CAN get out of the hole, my car obviously has no top end, right?
And stop using the big power excuse. I've seen plenty of 1000+whp cars put the power down on the street. Its called a chassis - and being a FWD guy, that's something you'll never understand.

I dont understand whats the problems
Get some traction bars, a LSD....Drag springs in the rear(1k springs) and slicks
Is it ideal? No but does it work? YUP
You just like RWD more, and there is nothing wrong with that at all...
But look at all the GTPs going fast, no one seems to care that they are fwd.....but if its a honda OMG its a problem now lol

To the integra driver, I've seen a 600-700hp civic coupe run borderline 6's in the 1/8. I know traction is a bitch, but with slicks, traction bars, anitlag, etc couldnt you be pulling 1.7 60fts at least and not have to go from a 70 roll, which i did think was funny the first time I read it

I like 35mph and below roll races preferably. Or a dead stop.

I could cut 1.6... maybe even 1.5 60fts! Right now I just want to do mid 10's as a legitimate full body, full leather interior 4-door street integra. I'll go full race and try to hit 9's later if I don't get my C6 Z06 first.

Well I need to move because I have rarely run across anyone willing to slow down on the freeway to a low roll....and thats why most of my races are 60 rolls.

I enjoyed racing from a roll because I was on street tires. I needed to stay on street tires because I enjoyed running the corners as well. Drag radials or slicks don't work well for cornering.

Here you go, BONE STOCK on street tires (runflats):
C6 Z06 at the drag strip
Ang guess what? I hate drag racing. I don't enjoy it, and I hardly ever do it. So, does that mean I can't drive? Please, give me a break fellas. We all have cars to do diffrent things. Some cars are more drag oriented and some cars are more top end oriented. Someone that has a 200 mph car with street tires on will more than likely like enjoy roll racing more than drag racing. On the other hand, someone that has slicks on, suspension mods, auto, solid rear, etc. will more than likely enjoy drag racing. To put another one down because of the way their car is set adn what kind of racing they enjoy just shows ignorance and the close minded. There are plenty of reasons I can think of as to why one would like to roll race even if they have the means to afford parts (look at above quotes) than drag race and vice versa, but just remember that not every car is going to be a drag oriented car and not every car is going to be a roll car. We all buy cars and set them up to what WE ENJOY doing, and some people like myself don't enjoy drag racing, at all (again, for some reasons, look at the above quotes). People refer to drag racing being a real sport and roll racing isn't, and they ALWAYS forget to keep in mind one thing and that is being that the drag racing sport consists of TWO DRAG ORIENTED CARS, not one drag oriented car and the other more roll oriented.
"gsrhunter", I am one of the few car enthusiasts that is a "car guy", and not an "import guy" or a "domestic guy". Knowing that, congrats on having a fast *** car that whoops most cars on the street be it from a roll or a dig..

It's like a bunch of kids who made up their own game because the original was too harsh for them.

I think its funny you have people talking good about roll races with some pretty high hp cars...but most of the people that are saying roll racing is stupid don't have near the hp..his little Acura does!
Whats the standing rule around here don't you have to be out of the 13's to talk ****? So let me revise it you have to have a hp or torque # starting with a 5 to talk **** about roll racing!

If you have less than 5xxx hp/tq ...stick to dig racing and you'll own most FWD cars with 5xxx hp/tq or more on the 1320.
I like your rules. I can talk **** either way.
