Default Heat Treatments resets 4WD record


7.41 @ 193

I'ts been a couple of years since they ran 7.57 followed a while later by 7.51



Before anyone asks, they can lock out the front wheels via hydraulics to heat the rear tires, then release the pressure or flick a switch or something then it's back to 4WD.

1.238 60' is not their best either!

the launch is actually pretty unimpressive for a car with that kind of trap speed. but once that thing gets going it ******* moves! it actually looks like it launched harder when it was 2-3 tenths slower. even then it wasn't leaving as hard as the rwd car next to it.

I didn't see any other cars. HMMM. I would think it was the other way aroung. SpeedFactory made it to almost 190mph with an 8 sec pass. That is indicative of a better launch than finish right?

the controlled launch is actually impressive to me that he keeps the nose down and in a straight line you can tell the power isn't applied till about the 330

Thing is badass. But The track looks up hill and then drops off on the back half.

You don't even see the front tires wrinkle. Its pretty sweet but I don't see the point in keeping the AWD other than to say you have it.
Guys here in Okinawa Oogle over the RIPS rb30 GT-R that went 8.5x@160. Am I wrong for not being impressed with a 3.2L, GTX-47, AWD car on 4 26x10 slicks with a pro-mod 2 speed transmission setup and nitrous? Do the fast Honda guys just really put that much more effort into getting a car down the track? A 2500LB fwd car on 24.5x9's going 8.6-8.8 is more impressive to me and probably a lot less invested. RB/GT-R parts are overly expensive.
