yeah I flipped randomly to it last night and was thrilled. and fake nitrous on the Civic, lol
I couldn't stand how the Civic driver kept it bouncing off the rev limiter for the starts, it didn't seem to do them any good, either. imo they'd have been better off with taking an inch or two off the width of those tires so they wouldn't have us much weight and rolling resistance, but that still wouldn't have caught them up to the '7

someone should contact the '7 team that won the Civic and ask them. what confused me is how much the '7 bogged on the first race and they still lost by so much. it solidly trounced the civic in the other races, I don't see why he didn't make up much ground on the first run.

not that a launch controller isn't real, but the way that civic sounded, high tone and harsh bounces, my guess is still on the rev limiter.
here ya go

The civic had the 2-step launch control, but everyone knows that the 7 was sandbagging the WHOLE time. RWD>FWD anyday......but you guys have to see the CRX on pinks all out...made it to the final 4 but lost to a chevelle because he bogged at the line...

lol i think there were a few things that either mat or dave said that i though were hilarious but i love when full race was trying to pull the whole "its a 1.6 ltr" and matt and dave both were att "1.3ltr so?" classic.
but they were negotiating for distance and so on thats why the FC started so far back.

i kno did you see him leave the line passing that civic almost sideways.....lol i was flippin out. my girlfriend was like i dont get y your so excited i was like this street rx7 just beat a civic drag car. she still didnt understand. but to me that was the greatest part of my day. oh and honestly im not sure if the fc was only runnin 10 pounds of boost. but he might have. but did you hear the guys comment on the fc towards the end when the car was runnin hot. he was like blow it up i dont care its built outa spare parts neway. that just made my day
And the motor was built from spare parts and I was sincere about not caring if it blew up LOLGlad you liked it, we had fun doing it for sure
