http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxpW3S4ad8Q
that is quite simply the fastest street fwd car in the world ever!
(i.e not tube chassis)
and take a look at this pic, traction

dam thats quick
i cant get over the noise, its unreal the sound that car makes, sounds more like a bike! he does rev it over 11k though...
gotta love how excited the yanks get too, listen to that commentator, classic
does sound awesome!
no wonder our president is always away - look what he's up to.
the sound of anti lag.
love it
is that the 1/4 mile or a shorter trip? just dont seem as far
"are you kidding me"
169 mph

no anti lag involved there. here's an incar, different run:

those tyres.....
Full on drag slag! that thing could never be driven on a normal road. When coming back after the incar you could see how hard it would be to drive.
Awesome nevertheless!
I liked the tyre smoke coming onto the car through the gear lever gaiterand dash!
The way he nearly got thrown from his seat when changing gear
and finally the blind spot check before moveing over to exit the strip
Some money and time has been put onto that car.
'Kin el thats quick.... whats the Uk's fastest FWD ?
I think its either CPL's Civic Type R or Andy Nicholls in his Rover 25, can't remember which one.Originally Posted by 5teve L
Awesone car though, got to hand it to them very imprerssive.
its a civic i think il try find the link
CPL racing civic, k20 turbo with 10.1 ish @ 140 ish. yes, we're eons behind the US!!
Just for the peeps unsure Millers NRG car is a B18 motor... If only i had some spare cash a b18 would certainly be sat under my bonnet for next year but its all about the budget d16 tuning...
Sounds like it was running on 3...
Speaking of 169 terminals, the fastest US steet legal Supra was pulling those back in 2007. Although in 2 years they've managed to scrape another 10mph out of the car I think. And that was a stroked motor.
that civic in the link has made 172mph traps on other runs.
but yeah, supra is quicker still, but it is 3litre, and dont think that civic is lightweight, they race at 2500lb race weight
well the bar has just been raised again!
how does 180mph trap sound
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFn0iLejBEg
street car, petrol, no meth/nos etc, all turbo
they seem to be out every week and break the record, there unreal, crazy times, gotta love the progress these guys make
there also making some swift progress on the naturally aspirated front too
how does 10.42@131 with no turbo sound!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4emRIgB4IQ
again, no nos/meth etc, all motor
weve only a handfull of cars in the uk that run that time with turbo lol
Madness, looked a right handfull for a few seconds though
Not really knowing a lot bout hondas can sum1 anser me y they are using the b18 engine instead of goin for the 2.2 h22a engine? Is it just a better engine or the fact its a smaller displacment its able to rev higher ?
most of them use some sort of b18 hybrid, i.e b18, with b20 crank (honda crv)
so makes them 2.0l or so, and rev to 11k or so. very few run the h22 motor, i believe the sleevs are very thin with the large bore, so i think thats the main reason.
AND AGAIN over the weekend at NSCRA Season Final

Is it me or does he not give it full beans till he's well off the line and into second
Love the last view of the run (head on)
yeah, that view of the car charging towards the camera really shows the cars urgenacy
the car did 1.48 60` and 135mph @ 1/8th on that pass, that is unreal
it really is a huge acheivment what those guys have done, they only broke 8.99 this year, to take take .5 off that and pick up 10mph at that level of the sport takes some doing, and to do it within a few months like they have is just staggering, and to think other than the tyres, these are road legal cars, unreal!
he`s actually quicker than a lot of the "hotrod" cars now, which run full tube chassis`s (weight nothing), 28" slicks,bigger turbo`s, and run methanol!
I love watching this stuff. Thanks for keeping an eye on it Rob.
cant not keep an eye on it really, its rather big news in the honda world, these guys are treated like celebs, they literally sign autographs when there out
Dame thats quick for the 1/8th mile!!!yeah, that view of the car charging towards the camera really shows the cars urgenacy
the car did 1.48 60` and 135mph @ 1/8th on that pass, that is unreal
As you say that puts alot of Yank Tanks to shame, and for a road car on original shell too is very impressive. Just show hows times change, never thought you'd see a FWD car do those sort of times and speeds
Just wonder how much quicker they could make it.
yeah really gets the mind wondering what is, and what isnt possible, or at least likely, i mean for a 7.9 second pass for example you`d be talking 200mph trap speed, which would probably require another 400hp at least, then the traction problems that would come with the extra power, its just crazy to think, but then i thought that when i saw the 1st 8 second pass, thought it would take another couple of years to get to mid 8`s, of course i was wrong
but for example, the guy (miller) reckons he made 200hp more on the dyno before that race (cam change) and he picked up 8mph on his highest trap, deminishing returns i believe is the term
