Thats because the 12 sec civic runs at 12.6@123 becuase he cant drive his car.

Most of them are in the 360-370 range....mine is a little high and that might be a deviation due to the dyno
I remember seeing 1 or 2 that dynoed on Moduar fords that was 390 on the nose

BTW - No one is giving MP5 any extra credit for beating a domestic, because he did it all the time. We're giving him recogition for beating some shit-talking retard who said they'd never been beat by a Honda.

but, like i said countless times before. race again, whenever you get your cars back together and running again.
but this time, it will be from a dig, like a real race is supposed to be.
that is all.

Re: Why do the majority of you prefer a slower car for your money?
thats a great little gauge you got there...
i never even thought to bring up the clutch slipping....
but it would seem as though 95% of those things on that gauge apply to you...
get off my nuts, get your car together, make it faster, run some times, then come talk to me. i randomly lose to a hatch, so what. if hes not willing to run again, theres nothing i can do about it.
you can stick up for your fellow import guys all you want, but when it comes down to it...youre still not willing/able to race. i am. so come to me when youre ready. and then we will see who has the excuses.
