    i'm on BFG radials, but that doesn't mean anything
    Doesn't matter to me what you use. I know in high horsepower Hondas race gas and more power won't help you at all on the street.

    I was spinning from 40mph thru 90mph when I'd try to use race gas on the street in my Integra.

    I make about 450hp naturally aspirated.

    Yeah... sucks. The guy said it'll only cost $100 for him to fix his wheel though. Not too bad considering. I want to sell mine and get the CCW Classics. 18x12" wheel weighing 18-19lbs is serious business. My 19x11s weigh 21-22lbs.

    well, it will probably help a lot in 5th gear with independent gear boost up to 150mph

    but i think running with about the same amount of power would be a much more fun race

    When I start to spin badly, I let up on the throttle until it stops. Does this not work for hondas/acuras also?

    Depends on how bad the spin is. In some cars, once it starts going...you just can't get it back. It also seems like higher horsepower cars have a harder ime recovering from a spin, too.

    (I know you're being sarcatic, but some cars just don't have a chance hooking)

    how about 60 mph - whenever someone wins.. (hopefully before 150mph)
    I know a Honda's gearing will go to 150. My only chance of winning is going to at least 140. You weigh 700lbs less and make about the same power.

    I could feather that car all day. Hook for a second and then start spinning once boost built up again.

    That's not that far off from 60, which isn't a bad speed for one. I think it'd be more in it's sweet spot there.

    I would have to agree with u on this one. We found that out this past weekend.
