That RSX guy got owned at that standing start. And it seemed like he kept getting owned all the way to the end? Nice.

I like the car, don't care for the Spoon knockoff wheels. Those belong on Hondas ;p... how about some Prodrive/OZ knockoffs instead.

Those are the strogest 17x8" wheel that ROTA makes. It was our sponsors choice really on the styling anyways. Besides, its fun to beat Hondas on their wheels .

I remember faintly that Nissan Skylines in Jp were banned in some touring car series since the combo of AWD/AWS and the RB26DETT were just sweeping everything. I remember some other touring car series in GB have banned AWDs from competing...

There was a BMW 325 that ran 2 seconds a lap faster in warm-up than any other car that weekend. He was obviously sand-bagging because when qualifying came, he ran about 4 seconds slower. The 325's only have to weigh 2600 lbs to my 3000 lbs, and put out lots of torque with their 6 cylinder engines. My point is that if well driven, well prepared BMW's where running (and not trying to stay under the radar before San Jose), my car would not be able to keep up. Now put me at 2600 lbs and I agree that AWD would have an advantage. But any advantage that AWD has is taken away by weighing so much. Except for the standing start that is .

Good race car looks strong and like it totaly out classed the other cars but Not to blow your bubble but that was one race, I may be wrong but did'nt the RSX or TSX win its class the last 2 years and has domminated this year with some guy name Dave Brown or Cunningham that drives a red a white TSX in another race series. I saw it on speedvision and some import mag my kid has. not sure if you guys run the same class or series but good luck anyway

Cunningham is a veteran (to say the least) in the tourning car field. He was competing with Pobst(Honda EuroAccord) with a Dodge Stratus a lot when they had sponsored the US Grand tourning championships so many years ago on ABC right after those CART races. (well back when CART was interesting)
