That's a V4 with 122hp stock and about just shy of 600 pounds curb weight.
Launching a turbo busa on the street is equivilent to launching a funny car on the street. Except you may "loop" the busa if your not careful, as it is, I carry my front wheel a few inches off the ground, at the track, I usually tripped the 60' light with the back tire. That's why I love this thread- street racing and drag racing were probably close to 20-30 years of my life, and now my boys are wanting to do it. It's not if he was scared- he plain did not have enough skill. When I face off on a real experienced rider- that would be a huge difference- but really skilled riders don't drag race, they drag knees LOL- and I have the worn out kneed pucks in my leathers to show I do it.
Now, the local are literally racing on hot lava! As soon as the lava cooled down to below 200 degrees, they built the new road to where I live, a place called hiway 132. (if you want to google it, it's hiway 132 in Pahoa, HI) drag racing popped up there, and reached a huge crowd during covid restriction when they shut down the county race track for 2 years. First time, my boys thought they had to sneak out- and I was like "what, are you fing kidding me, have you not listened to my stories while working in our shop"- and we went together. Mostly older foriegn cars with RWD, a few more modern ricers. Now they have opened the track and put speed humps on part of that area. so it has pretty much went away. The lava surrounds the area, and after it rains it can go to white out conditions from the steam coming off the lava. The road is always perfect because the asphault is always 150-200 degrees from the lava, so shortly after it rains- the pavement dries itself off - good thing in a rain forest LOL>
Crazy stuff man.[/QUO
