what's the opposite of rice? I guess badass or something. epic, he did it on 275 radials.

I don't know if anyone has played an old game called Interstate '76. You could do some hilarious stuff like put the BMW Mclaren f1 engine in a miata.

Those old japanese cars weight nothing. Cheers to good ol' fashion insanity.

the massive tires make it pretty clear that that is a seriously quick car. the dodge is more of a "sleeper" as I see it.

That little Corolla is insane. There is no way I would look at that thing and think it runs anywhere close to eight seconds flat. I found the owner's website for the car but he didn't list how much boost he was running. Anyone know?

I had to laugh a little at the first car the guy raced in that vid. Does he really need a parachute for a 12-sec car?

there are a lot of corollas around my area, none i know running 2jz's but a good amount running 3sgte, good for about low 10's. Seen some Starlets with massive turbos kinda like the corolla, its a completely quiet car and it just takes off.

Ya, I went and watched the vid again and the guy went 153mph. Looks like he crossed the beams and then eased his way out of the hole. I believe the NHRA and IHRA require a chute for anything that runs 150+mph. Guess I should have watched a little closer before laughing.

How the fuck does he get all the engine in that little car?! That thing is like a rocket. He struggled to keep the wheels down!

Someone get that fool to install some wheelie bars and drag slicks so he can fully open it up.

It looks like he had an issue with his start - I imagine his car on a good run would be in the neighborhood of all the other cars there judging from his idling down the track for a ways before getting on the gas and still hitting 150.

that corolla clearly needs a bigger turbo
