Ok - maybe you're hung up on the terminology. Maybe it isn't "ricer talk" but it's "bench-racing" "hopes and dreams" racing. Let's take a look...

TECHNICALLY "I dunno" is all that should have been said. Why? B/c it put "3 buses" from 40 - 120 doesn't mean that he couldn't have got his shit rocked from 60 - 140, or 0 - 120 for that matter. Everyone knows that every1 and their grandmom has a "fast Honda" from the roll... but those SAME cars from the dig are WEAK. Welcome to wrong wheel drive. VTECKIDDS 200+hp rex KILLED my ET on motor... I never got into the 13s. YET, I pulled consistent 2.29s on Firestone Whateverthefucks and he was on a big slick/Lensos and we had the same 60 (he saw low 2.30s). Had we lined up together it would have LOOKED LIKE I came to the show BECAUSE IT WAS FROM THE DIG. But if we did a 60 or 40 pull he would have checked the fuck out and been in a diff zip code by the time I shut down.

It's ricer-talk b/c he is comparing his ROLL RESULTS against the other cars times from the DIG. While we're at it let's compare apples to helicopters... sounds fair. I'd LOVE to see him try to lay that power down in a wrong-wheel drive car and still roll out as hard as he did from the roll. 16.5 @ 217mph and STILL loses.

To each his own. I am not negating how quick the car is, and we KNOW it makes the power. I'm just saying that you can't compare some1s dig trap to the lengths you put on them from a roll and learn anything useful. My 68 CRANK hp '77 civic hatch is a 0 - 20mph MONSTER... LOL. I bet Clarke doesn't even want none from 0 - 20LOL. After that though... yeah... you know the rest.

Cheerio kids. I'd love to see that car at the track though.
