Hello Eclipsed,

Slight downhill helped me get from 100-137mph in around 10 seconds. Flat road got me like over 20 seconds.

Race something fast, like that DSM you have on the t3/t4 60-1. You'll see that <we> all get up to around 120-125, or so *respectably* for a non fast car. Then anything remotely quick down a 1/4 mile will just eat you alive. They just don't have the power to go with the speed, drag & gearing.

tehehehe
Here's a 350whp integra running 100-130mph (160-209kmh) in 8 seconds.
By slight downhill, you really meant slight mountian!

Silly guy!

Well yeah, of course it's nothing like my DSM or any other "fast" car, but I would never compare a car thats trapping almost 130mph in the 1/4 to a car that can barely do over 135mph.
