Got Traction?

So I kinda just realized. I raced an 07 Honda Civic Si for ***** last night from a red light.

When the light turned green, I punched it and hit the nitrous at about 10mph.

Now Full Bolt-on's + 90hp shot of nitrous means I should be making well over 200 to the tire IMO.

I didn't get a single bit of wheelspin, not even a bark.

Falken ZE512's FTW!

The video is here:

With traction like that, I bet i could run some NASTY times at the track

I think 10mph is fine as long as I can get traction.

I just counted it out and got 7 seconds flat 0-75mph.

I shut down when my car shifted into 3rd gear at 75mph.

Well, I also have at least 100whp more than you, that might affect it a little.
