Default why am i not impressed . . . .





i was just as unimpressed looking at this as i was when chris rado's celica broke 200mph. because its a RWD!!! this doesn't really stick to the essence of import racing, its not like a guy can go out and buy a rwd conversion kit and do the same thing. . . . .

i was impressed when stephan papadakis broke into the 8s, i was a bit h: when he switched to a longitudinal engine layout, and i wont even care if he campaigns this thing. .. .

sorry for the venting, but is it just me?!?!

most people can't afford full tube chassis and frequent engine rebuilds.

it's about going fast.

1) that import is super fast

2) that import bodied race car is super fast.

I think it's lame too that they can allow the body to be the determining factor in what 'class' they race in. :ghey:

I'm surprised no one has put a Pinto body on...

i guess i don't see like you all.

i think drag racing is cool....

i like the import drag racing cause imports are the underdogs and were taking the domestics on their home turf. :thumbup:

Now how you get down that's all up to you. anything goes, boost it, juice it all to hell, N/A or hell sling shot it for all i care.

As for the tube framed civic's, not being a civic...

if honda released a civic that was full tube framed, and ran 8's. wouldn't it still be a civic?


as for the ITR funny car, well i guess if honda released a 5.0 4 cylinder

it's just how i see it.

i dont see the fun in drag racing...therefore going 8 seconds on a 1/4 mile means nothing to me......but thats just me.
