hi... back again with a new video...

The driver of the FD, Mike, was a very cool guy to chill with. Fun to talk to and an overall nice guy. I asked him permission to post this video before I decided to post it. He helped me convince the Viper to play with me afterwards...

We made 3 runs, all from about 45mph to 120mph... one of the runs didn't come out well on the camera so I only put 2 of the runs on video. I honestly thought there was absolutely no way I'd win against this FD from a roll, especially after he told me he trapped at around 127mph...

I do not understand how in the hell that Evo is so fast from a roll. AWD is susposed to be a disadvantage on the freeway, but you go ahead and fo roll ons anyway. Congrats on the FD kill. You didn't happen to film the Viper run did you?

I just got my two mini-DV video cameras back, so let me know if you'd like to shoot some time. Theres a few things I'd like to work into a video that I think would be really cool to watch.

PM or AIM me.

annnnnnnnnnnd Good Kill.

impressive charles, we got kicked out by a uniform right as i was shaking hands with thrust, glad to see you guys out there, hope to see yall again in the future.

my night sucked. raced a blown miata from a dig and got pwned in the Z, couldnt hook and missed 2nd, but got him from a roll, the STi pwned a turbo Civic and a friends Bpu Supra.

Good kill Charles!

I doubt the trap mph he claims.......127mph....if that was the case he would have been reeling you in hard in third! That would then make you a 130+mph car............:lmfao:

Your "BB" really helps you from the jump, you must be hitting that powerband of 420 ft lb tor. just right! ;)

with 400whp torque would be high 200's maybe low 300. rotaries suck at torque

Yeah I notice that now in the new video either way that RX7 is no challange for that Evo IMO and I'm sure he would get raped even worse off the line.

Is it an Azn guy named Mike? When I spoke to him, I think he told me about 400whp, 320wtq...

Either way, I'm still happy with how I performed... especially for the weight of his car vs mine.
