And let me just point out, that accord has 550fwhp. If he could actually gain some traction, thing would rip so much harder.
I can post his youtube channel if needed.
Which is why it's such good comedy. What good is the power if you can't put it down at all? Mine wasn't optimal by any means but at least it's powering the right wheels.

And so is his...he drives to to the track and back on street tires. Its a fast DD, and its FWD.
So he hasn't done any differential or axle upgrades and it's on true street tires, not drag radials? Low 11's were probably done on drag radials. I did my high 11's on drag radials but they weren't really needed. The 1.8x 60ft's I was doing could have been done on street tires. It just made it easier. You can see how easy I was launching in all of my videos. That's why the OEM 10 bolt is still in the car. If I had even a junk yard $500 8.8 in it I could dump it and go almost a full second faster with ease.
I have no doubt a 550whp Accord would have beaten my Formula from a roll, I would hope it could. I don't think you realize just how much stuff was OEM in my Formula. That's why LS1's are so impressive. It takes very little to do a lot. I could make as much power as him and stay N/A if I wanted to. Instead I'm going turbo. If he is ever down South let me know if he wants to line up. I'll put it on low boost. Maybe 7-8lbs.
