If ya going to do it off the lights, you really want to have a perfect launch. They have a lot of top end, but nothing down low. With the civic, I recomend you really try to get the best launch possible, or it will eat you alive.

I destroyed one off the lights. The kid driving it was pissed. They don't handle all that great either.

They are much the same as a celica, but the celicas are much lighter, and quite difficult to drag off. I don't think a civic vtir wouldhave a lot of luck with a celica

I would have been the first person in Australia to try and drag one off last year. Before they were even released, in my old car (rover 416i) I had one at the lights. Thinking is was as stupid as a Camry Sportivo (no extra power), I revved it up. And got a nasty suprise. Next set of lights I ask what it is, and they says "nothing, just a standard corolla". After a few hours trying to find out what it was on the internet, I felt a whole lot better.

I bought my car around making sure I could drag of 'rolla sportivos. I figure they are going to be very popular, and take he stickers off, a bit of a sleeper

McChook,
dont you have a Prelude VTi-R?
thats the same power as a corolla sportivo, and a truckload more torque!

Yep, exactly.. and they weigh about the same...

So that would mean a GSi could beat one too? hehehehe j/ks

is that what you time is or what it says on the paper?

I know a ITR can kick a rolla arse 8)
Vti-R I think is a match.
I had a go in the rolla before, gearing is really tall. drops out of the VVT point everytime u change gear. :?
and I can't feel the VVT coming in at all :|

both.
I ran a 1/4 test last year of a stock VTir hatch.
every run was 16.22 - 16.27 on full street trim

15.6 for me ;)
