I mostly agree with what you're saying... I just don't think it is as drastic as you make it out to be. Apples vs Helicopters? nah. I guess I know the car a lot better than random people posting on here and I know it's not just going to sit in one place and spin from a dig.Originally Posted by BABY J
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.
Ironically Luis let me borrow his car last night so I made some videos. After reading this I wish I would have launched from a 4k dump or something because it hooks better than I thought (it was on 24" radials)
I'd love to see it on slicks at a well prepped track too, and I'd be willing to drop some cash on a bet that it would run better than 11.50. So call it ricer talk or whataver you want, I would just call it speculation or an educated guess. Watch for yourself and see...
