I only got 23 very choppy seconds as well. Hrm, anyone know why we both had this problem and how to fix it? Allyn, can you do some digital compression magic or something so I can see the whole thing? Those 23 seconds weren't anything exciting.

Larry, they don't actually start racing until the 26 second mark. At that point the Civic pulls slightly on the Viper and then the Viper gains just a few feet before they slow down. It is a complete draw for the real part of the duel. The Viper driver gives the Civic guy lots of respect calling his car a "nasty bitch" and saying, "god damn... that is one bad motherf*cker". :^) He also discusses only being able to beat him off the line where his traction advantage gives him the edge. :^) -great video!

I could only download the first 23 seconds of the Cheesefrogg run, but it was quite obvious that the Viper was toying with the ricer. After all, in 23 seconds the Viper could have run the quarter mile. Twice.Tell me what happened after the 23 second mark???

I'm not arguing 8V v. 16V I'm arguing stock v. modified... Chesefrog or whoever that is did a great job running a viper but he didn't exactly have stock civic. Based on this heavily modified civic it would not be fair to say that 'civic's can keep up with vipers'... that's my point.

OH and why not? You guys do start OUT with 33 extra HP after all???
Depends on how modded the 8v was...that we don't know. I mean, depending on the mods, it *might* have been only making similar HP numbers to a stock 16v.
