Default Honda Del Sol

I think this is a repost! But anyway this thing is crazy. Looks like they did a good job modding it.

it's probably for traction(on the front wheels, obvsiously). with that much hp on such a light car, you'd never(literally NEVER) get any traction on regular tires.

yeah, it's a fast car, but you notice he leaves about 10 feet of tread after every shift, including after 3rd and 4th

Yea its a nice looking engine setup, but the car is ugly and its not that fast. Yea he may make tons of power but if you cant get it to the ground it doesnt mean $hit. Why were they trying to run a potentially fast car on such a short road? I like some imports even though im a hardcore mustang guy, but this one didnt impress me much. What does it run in the 1/4 mile?

I'm sure he'd be terrible on the street with street tires, even with thos drags he didn't get that great traction...but i will admit, 600 hp in an inline four is pretty damn good, just don't wana crash in that go-kart...

that's a good question, but I'm thinkin' with a good burnout, a much better driver, and some good tarmac that little beasty could run good times. I dunno', what do you guys think, maybe 10's, 9's, what?

Cool I guess, but its useless...I dunno, Im now realizing that all the power in the world isnt that great. Its not dyno numbers that run the good numbers on the track...

Yep, It is an ugly little bastid. Looks like a fat legged civic. Plus the idiot can't even keep it running. He restarted it 2 or 3 times. LOL
