NZ Drags: V8's vs Japanese Imports - V8's Win 44-7!
« on: February 18, 2006 - 06:31:39 PM »
In New Zealand we had a drag racing competition, big thing advertise everywhere down here.....
Japanese imports vs V8's, all kinds of cars from both teams. Street legal and not.

Each team had to put in their dial in and were paired with a racing opponent from the other side.
Well, the V8's dealt to the imports thrashing them 44-7!!!!!!!!!!
This is huge, no forum wars or big talk at bars or anything, this is in person, car vs car dealt with like men.

No excuses, this was settled with time slips, magazine spreads & TV coverage for proof.
Here is the ultimate insult, a big article in the Imports OWN magazine about how they lost.  :lol2:

I posted the entire write-up so no plonker could say, "eh, you left some pages out or what ever...."
All you need to read really is the first page article lol

(Photos of the entire page, then the article enlarged) Enjoy........

Yip, loved it!! I know V8's rule but this is proof and in my books you can't beat proof.
V8's have real bragging rights now.  :bigshades:

Great article  :crazy:

Sure you can get some decent HP & Torque numbers out of an import, but you still gotta get it to the ground through them little gears.  Seems like they broke more than they ran.  Hehehe

I'll take Big & Beefy any day !

 :iagree: They're also blaming virgin racers not use to reaction times etc.....in real world racing (at the lights) you only get one chance there too so it's part and parcel of racing. They suck on the track the suck in real world wars.
