Wow the STI held up a lot better than I would've thought. 07 FTW!!!

JoWj PoWj · 02-17-2008, 09:11 AM

boring.

All these videos are just highway pulls or drag race. That is so lame. What skills would you need except to just hit the throttle and see who has more hosepower. Is this American way of racing? No wonder why Nascrap gets it's bad name from the rest of the world.

How about some Touge battles? That's what you can a race for better drivers skills.

Yeah the Evo did sound pretty bad, but it still beat the STI even with an extra passenger in the car.

Wow dude...a lot of skill is required. You'd probably be surprised by how many people suck at driving.

Check out this vid of my friends, the 350Z that gets left in the first run and they both have the same power. They switch drivers and Alberto beats him.

People in both STOCK Evo's and STI's. have dipped into the 12's right? Try and do that and tell me driving in a straight line doesn't require skill...

Edmunds had the 08 0-60 in 4.5. That vid sucked btw

While I agree that the 1/4 mile can be pretty tough to get a good and consistent time, slamming gears on the highway is dead simple. Yes, some people shift faster but that 350z video above seemed like complete BS. There is no way that a car that loses by 10+ car lengths from a highway roll is suddenly going to hang even just by switching drivers.

nothing like a poorly shot video in the dark of two bone-shards racing on the public freeway.

i have more fun picking out socks, that watching that vid.

Yeah, I don't see how it can make THAT much of a difference... ?

ive met alberto and his z before he got turbod and he is a sick driver, i totally believe that vid. Fast shifting and staying in boost can be huge difference from a roll
