A tuner posted a vid of street racing?
yikes......
I have a pretty good hunch that before long they will be having a "going outa bizz sale"
They may be the #1 tuner in the world, and may build the best race cars in the world, BUT I can't fathom a bizz owner posting a street racing vid, and think that they are making a smart bizz decesion.
wow......
I see their www site has 3 street racing vids for the PUBLIC to view.
Oh my..........
In looking at their site, they have some VERY good prices for dyno tunes. I have no idea the quality if their work, but will assume they know what they are doing.
I can tell you for a full dyno tune along with a lap top street tune, and then a dyno re-tune, I normaly pay 350/400 dollars. The prices they have posted seem much cheaper.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
well if they have asperations of having a legit bizz, they prolly should ditch the street racing vids.
Lawyer " you see ladies and gentelmen of the jury, not only did this tuner take this 16 year old childs car and install parts on it, to make it capable of going over 150 mph, they had vids on their web page which condoned street racing...........now I ask you, who are we to blame for the death of those people? 16 year old Chad who only wanted to do what he saw on TV and the movies........ or those people who took his money, and made his car unsafe for public streets........and then showed him vids of other customers cars, who were cool and raced on the street"

You think that supra was actually pressing the pedal?
Sorry guys, don't get your hopes up....your cars can beat Tc's or Xa's....maybe...
Every car class has it's specialty vehicle..something that someone's spent a lot of their time and money. Go find a built supra, or a stock TT and actually ask him to touch the gas pedal. ha ha
He didn't just slap on a turbo and call it quits...there's thousands of dollars and a lot of knowledge that you kids coudln't dream of posessing.
thats a grand total of...drumroll please. 11k. considering the poverty line is at 20k a year...im sure most people could pull it off.
You can make any car fast, the fact that you people are busting a nut because someone flew past a supra (that wasn't even racing) is hilarious...
Nothing makes me laugh more than 500 hp and almost half the torque...it's great....
Slap some cheap-o pansy nitrous and then maybe you can think you have a fast car...cause thats about all you people can do.....nitrous.....
As for turbos, it's going to cost a lot to make big numbers.
Incoming flames, birng em on.
what puzzles me is when i see a conversation and on one hand we have car X...........and on the other hand we have car Z.
Now car X is basicly stock............and car Z, has an engine that has been taken apart, put back togather with new componets, an induction system of some type, pcm adjustments made, the car has headers, and exhaust, and intake, and suspension mods galore.
Then car x races car Z..........and car Z wins. Then we hear "car Z is a so and so, and those type of cars are fast man..........real fast".
Ummmmmmmm it would seem to me, that what is fast are the combintaion of parts you put togather from Jeggs, and happened to put inside of a metal shell with car z's logo on the side.
You could take those same parts and install them into car X and now car X would be fast.
It would seem that after a point in time you are no longer racing car x vs car z..........you are racing page 39 in jeggs vs page 57 in jeggs.
See what i mean?

Whoa OK I hadn't actually watched the video until now, and it seems pretty obvious to me that they were racing. First off, at the beginning of the video it shows the supra racing another civic (it actually might just be a video from another car of the actual race later on in the video), so obviously the supra is out racing people. Second, they seem to know the guy since they have TroyB Supra come up on the video, so it wasn't just some random guy driving on the highway. Third, there's a guy in the supra holding a video camera, and fourth, the civic doesn't pull on the supra like you said. The supra hangs with the civic while it is spinning its tires, and for about 5 seconds after he shifts, and then the civic pulls on him like a mother, at which point I'm assuming he gives up and he really falls behind. Not to mention you can hear the supras motor while the civics tires are spinning.
OK I'm done, get back to talking about bizz's and Car X and whatnot.

We forget that the cost of Car Z to build is dramatically less than the cost of Car X stock. Car Z (civic) costs in area of 18k to build. Car X runs you in the 25k-30k range. THe point is that the Civic has a lot of potential.
