    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.
