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.

 

mmmmmmm.... 8s:boink:

 

yea i guess, but in retrospect, wat are you going to say . .

1) that import is super fast

or

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...

 

just like the ITR funny car

 

yea, thats why i dont read this stuff. if you got money, you can make it go fast. let me find a mag that shows me how to tune my car, on my budget.

 

***shrugs*** i like it....

 

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.
