Torqueless and they still kick ass. ;)
It's much easier when you can drive full throttle and just steer. That's what the stock type R's linear powerband will acheive on a racetrack with it's fwd and superb handling. Just a case for how less can mean more...many fools destroy this balance with tuning. The car was built for fast lap times, not quarter miles, not to be dyno queens, just raw track performance imo.

So do they,just because they earn more shouldnt take away from the effort or what they see as an ideal car.
I for one dont drink,just dont want to so i throw it all at the car where i can feel and touch it the next morning unlike alcahol (sp). Not trying to impress my views,each to there own,just how i see it

did it say in the video it was a daily driver?

Also Dan you take your car to the quarter mile to see how fast it can go down it... why bother even running or timing if you are going to come out with all those excuses "the driver, the tyres, the weather... etc etc etc" who cares? All anyone is interested in is the time. By your thinking we could roll a bmx out on to the track and say well it only did a 2 minutes run but if we had the right rider, tyres, better weather etc etc god knows what we could have got... but but but.. but nothing... take a car on the quarter mile and accept the time thats given and if there are tyre issues, driver issues weather issues then next time address them :)
