I agree...
and the blue rx-8 owner was VERY COCKY and was convinced he'd pull on the RSX, and the video clearly shows otherwise....

i've run a 13 @ 114 mph in my IS, so far in only a few tries, at low boost on 19's...I'll be at Etown probably next week, then again april 30th/may st for NHRA spring nationals...

I said I was running 14 psi, I made 440 @ 15 psi...and 475 @ 16.8 psi..
as I said, TRACTION is key, and I was racing on 19 inch rims and tires...

Justin has been super busy lately, hopefully he can get his rx-8 out more as soon as he's all finished with school by next month!
