Originally posted by Deejai35 I'm really disappointed... I wanted to see the Skyline win this year. I haven't read the article yet, but I noted the DNF.
yeah the skyline was actually in the lead late in the competition but had technical difficulties at the road test i think, and didn't get back to being good
Originally posted by hondaciv01 yeah, all these cars where modified to the point that the maker thought that the car they created would have the greatest chance to win.
the viper was just a beast in the dyno, but that's all it did really great in, and that's why it didn't win
Then its not really a good comparison of each car against each other is it. That would make it a compitition of each tuner being able to get the most out of each chassis. Given different Teams tuning each chassis, the results could be totaly different. Right?
Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "
