I can understand why people want to drag race their cars -- I personally have never had the urge to see how fast I can get a car down 400m of tarmac. This impacted massively on my purchase. The only time I give it a bit is when someone asks me to or moreso, I want to see their car go hard (I don't care if I lose, get laughed at.. I still got to see that <insert crazy fast car> go bananas down the street).
P.s. to the guy who commented on the r32 400hp beating the honda, I'm a realist and generally I would agree. When I have gone out to the track and beaten some 500hp HSV R8, or lapped equally with an M3 I have generally just thought, what are they doing here? Maybe they aren't prepared to crash their car, maybe they've had little track experience. But at the end of the day, their smile was just as big as mine when we got out of our respective cars at the end of a session.. Mine was was only bigger when the lap times came out :P
The CRX at QR (You know the one) cracked a 57s lap on the sprint circuit, which is out of control. I think its a lap record for registered vehicles? Well and truly faster than any GTR I've seen on the track and as quick as GT3 Race Cars.. V8 Supercars only do a little quicker again, so there is potential for a Honda to to be seriously quick but it takes an ex-F3000 driver, a 700kg car and big balls.. (Respect man).
Keeping it on topic -- Has anyone noticed a difference from putting pizza cutters on the back? (i.e. similar to space saver spare tyres?)
I might go out to Willowbank one day, but if I had the choice (due to time/money constraints) I'd go to the circuit hands down each time..
