uhm.... for better traction. when the car takes off the weight shifts to the back thus lifting the front slightly. that results in traction loss. those bars ride almost on the ground, lower than the bars found on RWD dragsters, to keep the front down as much as possible. makes sense? it does to me

Rev hard had a red 92 lude turbo(full race) back in 1998. It's just collecting dust in their parking lot. Car never did hit 10s. Way too heavy.

you don't have to own a drag car to figure that out... i don't own one either. it's common sense.

I thought that went 10.8's? I just remember seeing that somewhere, 3-4 years ago. Rumors do run wild, though. So it's still in their possession?

That car looks good, my prelude is starting to resemble it also!

Can you give us details on your weight reduction and reinforcments?

damn, was that a serious comment?

i hope not, but if so you do realize that the top fwd drag cars have been running wheelie bars for 3 years now. since team bergenholtz started the trend.

I think was asking why they did the picture effects like the fades and stuff....it makes some of the stuff look photoshopped when it's not. That's why those wheelie bars look so funny, because of what they did to the background.

Yeah, its still there collecting dust. It even has bogarts still on it. I'm not sure about that 10.80, but I know last time I saw that thing run was mid 11s.(3 to 4 years ago)
