Why is this video going around like wildfire right now? Is it because it's against a GTR?

Fox's have been racing like that for two decades now. It's nothing new.

I have to agree. I think it's all the GT-R kiddies who forgot what a well setup rwd/v8 drag car does in a race like this.

But da GT-R be AWD YO! :p

Beware the Fox! Sad to say, but with all the GTR "dominance" videos out there, I had forgotten how much ass the Fox can kick.

It's funny to read all the posts. The GTR, BUGATTI VERYRON, and how many other SUPERCARS can get creamed by a well built FOX. I have many friends who drive daily 9 second foxes. It is what it is! Straight line I'm saying. That is all.

How do those t5 transmissions shift compared to a t56?

I have a feeling this isn't a stock T5, if it is then the guy is an amazing driver.. Looks like a transmission with strait cut gears based on the video.

Damn. I was expecting flames to be coming off his car when he took off. I can't imagine the look on that gtr owner's face when he went screaming by

since when did the toyo r888 become drag radials? Good kill for the fox! seems like there could be a bit more mods than listed on the fox?

Best way to get power out of a SBF, is to let the bitch rev.. undersquare motors love RPM. Solid roller FTW.

Probably not stock, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is... They are one of the easiest tranny's to drive like that.. and on top of it, it seems like driver solved 2 problems by keeping a soft clutch that slips in the car.. 1. Keep the revs up in between gears, and 2. Keeping that tranny alive. Albeit you might have to swap clutches alot more frequently, but if it is a stock t-5, you can just throw another one in there while your at it, lol.

+1 I'm sure something is left out. If you checked out the 3rd video in the thread. This same fox drugged a Ysi 900hp vette!
