    What is the worst beater you ever had

    It's my current beater. 1988 Honda CRX VX civic engine swap / HF crx trans swap I did the engine and trans and they're flawless for their intended purpose. The car gets 44 mpg driving it hard, 53 driving it easy. No A/C. No heat. No radio. The previous owner installed ebay coilovers that are...

    Launch control vs traction control off

    Has anyone done back to back runs on the strip with launch control and without traction control on? I'm going to the drag strip next Friday to hang out but I might run my 15 GT if it's not too busy. I'm still on the stock tires (235s) and I expect traction to be my biggest enemy. I'm...
