And I take it you've never driven a high hp car on a drag strip before. It's not as much of a walk in the park as you make it out to be.

That's like saying what's the point of taking a really fast car to a drag strip. Theres no skill involved in making a fast car go fast in a straight line. I want to see you get that same time in a stock Nissan versa manual. Now that takes some real skill

Yeah, cuz they're easier to drive

Real skill is going sub 10 in a manual.

Boris the Russian did it in a 1980s 3 series when I was at MIR last year. It was hilarious... rowing through the gears on your way to 9.58 @ 154. The thing would probably run 8s with a 2spd auto.

Resultz iz Resultz, you can't mess wit dat.

Red370 · 03-27-2011, 02:00 PM

I think theres a guy over on the svt forums that posted a sub 10 second pass with the MT82 transmission as well.. lemme look for it..

Red370 · 03-27-2011, 02:02 PM

ahh, nevermind, not in the 9's just yet but I have a feeling it'll happen soon. Holy sh!t that supercharger sounds AWESOME!!!!

nuTinmuch · 03-27-2011, 07:05 PM

When I hear supercharger whine I just think

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEE

It's incredible.

Red370 · 03-27-2011, 07:26 PM

the tire shredding low end torque that a supercharger puts out gives me a raging boner.

christian370z · 03-28-2011, 02:12 AM

Manual car and high horsepower = one wild ride down the strip!

Nice vids! What was the fastest time you hit on the strip with the S2K?

christian370z · 03-28-2011, 11:21 PM

I can not imagine getting sideways at 170+mph!

Wow, that drift in the first video is off the hook. Wonder how that driver would have scored in D1 haha.
