i love how some guys run w/ the front 1/4 of the car off. its ridiculous that he spent all the $ on getting it to 660 whp but didnt spend the $ to make it so it will hook at the track.

I dont understand, how did it run a 10.94@133 when the bike went through the traps first? It wasn't a bracket race, they were going heads up, and the bike crossed first yet had a higher ET? Isn't it the civic that had the 11.34?

its pretty easy to figure out 20 inch slicks = cant run the front bumper

Most hondas with 20inch spinners still run the front bumper.

since when is 1.4 bar low boost? thats 21psi which is an absurd amount on a car that wasnt turbo to begin with.

reaction time, if the bike jumped and he sat at the line, the clock doesnt start till he leaves.

But he didn't. The bike launched and the civic spun.
