Default street knowledge test. Cheezefrog

I must have been out of a big loop to miss this one coming across. Anyone seen any of his videos. Better yet have you seen the car. Stock as hell looking if you ask me. Race a 10 second Viper and not get an A$$ handed to you. DROOL. It is not an S but for what looks like is in it. Might as well be for the money.

I have the video of him racing the viper on my computer at home. It was pretty much dead even the whole way. The video was shot from inside the viper and you can hear the viper's driver after the race say something like "that er's quick, boy!". hehe.

Cheez's parking brake was still on when he raced Al's Viper. That's why the brakes start glowing towards the end of the run.


His Civic is seriously one fast little bitch... Raced him a couple times down I-10... For a Civic, he did pretty well considering the competition (10sec 300ZX TT, Powerhouse Supra, 9sec twin-turbo LT1, Procharged WS6, etc.)

Actually... I don't think that's accurate. I haven't seen the video in a while, but I think it was his front brakes that appeared to be glowing, and I think that was only because the "night-vision" camera was extra sensitive to the normal heat generated by the friction that is always occurring between your pads & rotors. I'm sure there is even more heat generated when you're up around triple-digit speeds.

But like I said, I haven't seen the video in a while, and I definitely wasn't there... so I could be wrong.

^ NICE! Hatchback is crazy. It looked like it was reading past 150-160.

Let me guess, you own all of them

None of your so claimed cars can stand a close chance to that Civic, dream on
