Default car and driver superfour challenge.

http://www.caranddriver.com/ar...=6947

read that article, lotsa tricked out rsx's and one ep3 in the mix. with as many entrants as the honda crowd had, we couldn't help but decimate the competition. a few nice surprises in there though.

and what a disappointing finish for the hytech rsx. i'm guessing it was the driver more than the car that was to blame.

In reading the article please don't take those times with any grain of salt. The hytech car was very impressive showing the second fastest 0-60 and 1/4 I believe.

the engine itself is very impressive - if anything the driver is where I would point the finger.

the flat out acceleration times are most definitely impressive.

The conditions and timing of the event do not show how impressive the car truly is.

I'm pretty sure the heat was near 100 (if not
over), the humidity sky high and the 1/4 mile
track they had was just a regular road course
strip, not a "real" 1/4 mi. track. Take everything
in that test with a grain of salt.
Otherwise, buy another car, because with all
that money they spent, someone better be
running faster than that! lol

The Hytech car was fast through the 1/4 b/c it had the least amount of power, meaning that it wasn't as hard to get traction compared to the FI cars.

Look at the 100-130 times and you'll see how the HKS and DC cars waste the Hytech car.
