9 second street RX3

Here's a video of my friends RX3 that he drives everywhere. He drove this car 100 miles for this race. Taking it to the Hondas here on the West Coast. Notice the laundry hanging on the back of the Honda? Actually I posted in another thread that auto's on rotarys lag off the line- well most do, however my boy got his dialed in!

OMG, sorry, that's what happens when you're running on a couple hours of sleep!
For some reason I was thinking of Allens car!!!!!! That should have rung my bell right there because we all know that his car will never hit a track anytime soon. Kidding Allen

Damn thats some good footage. Love that street. We had a couple of local spots with some decent rubber laid down, but they've since been repaved.

Everyone has a different definition of a street car.

He drove the damn thing 100 miles though, I'd say its a street car.

Street racing will never die because there's not enough places to legally race. If they close Fontana, watch street racing sky rocket.
