**video**

Alright, this video has a 2001 S2000, 1999 Honda Civic Si, and a SS/SC Cobalt. We're all buddies and we thought we would just go out lastnight just to see how our cars stood against eachother. Mind you we did 2 runs each against eachothers car's due to a passenger recording and switch out to the other car just to see if it made a diffrence. Well take a look for yourselves. Oh and 56k, you might wanna go wax your car for this download.

You should of kept him in suspense. Haha. Everyone has to keep in mind that a passenger makes a diffrence and all of our runs were with a passenger at least once out of each run for every car. We never did run eachother with just one on one.

Yea, we could do that. I'm thinking I'll throw on the 17's just cause the tire is wider just to see if I can get any better traction, but that makes no damn sense cause there pretty much gone. But I'd like to see. Maybe get nukem and fox to come out as well, and maybe o boy with the Type-S to.

I'm pretty sure your traction will be worse. I assume you mean 17's with the low profiles much like a stock SS/SC comes with. Those tires are not tall enough for drag racing. The sidewall is way too stiff. I'll tell you though, I've seen great results with 225/50's. Perfect size for street applications if you ask me.

The moral of the story is.........Don't race with passengers. They slow you down.

Nice vid!!!

225 might be a little to wide for my car, but I'll def. try 215/50. I just need to get new tires. These dunlops I have suck major ass.

And pretty much, yes the morale of the video is to show what a diffrence just one passenger makes. For those that really didn't believe it could or would make a diffrence. But we are gonna do this again with just driver vs. driver. Either Friday or Saturday. Either way, another video will be coming up this weekend and there should be a little more variety of cars.

Hey man we should make it like Sunday afternoon. Nukem might have to work this weekend. I know for a fact that he wont work on Sunday, Nick is leaving to go home in MN. So its just me, you, trav, and nuke for the next video.

About your tires, if you do run your 17's play around with the tire pressure a little bit. I knocked off 3 tenths of a second at DFT. What size is on there now, I thought those were 17's as well. We should have a photoshoot too, and post them as well.
