Excellent - interesting that only 0.3secs difference looks like a lot more although I expect they are doing around 100mph at that point so you cover a lot of ground. I LOVE the way they talk...

That cracks me up every time I see it, as if to say, "You really THOUGHT you were going to flog me!"

Take a look at this Scooby doing a 13'506 1/4 mile against a MR2 GT Turbo driven by some Japanese loonies. Enjoy!

I don't think the guy in the MR2 was saying " oh damn... he beat "!
That laugh was adding insult to injury - Excellent!!!

do those red gloves shave vital 10ths of the 1/4 mile time?
if so does scoobysport sell them?
also any ideas as to what he adjusts after the up shift to 2nd?

I thought he adjusted the centre diff after getting started.

Isn't that roughly where the adjuster is on the STi type R's ?

Don't know why he'd change the ratio from front to rear, unless he was getting wheel spin, and was trying to alter the split ratio ????

Mark.

Question

Why was he adjusting this? Does anyone here adjust the centre diff whilst doing 1/4 mile? Does it make much of a difference?

If you thought that was funny you should see what they get upto when they actually race each other

The only thing i can pick out is the word 'Danger' closly followed by either a seriously dangerous manouver or one of the guys muttering something with a stupid great smile on his face

I buy as many of these Best Motoring videos as I can get and some even have english subtitles..AWESOME!

That's a great video - it's worth it for the blokes laugh alone!!

Greg - cable modems are great until you get 20 or so of your neighbours sharing the link!
