Yeah they're fun, but come on, does it really need a turbocharger, intercooler and nitrous oxide

Re:" NEED"
You stated "Yeah they're fun, but come on, does it really need a turbocharger, intercooler and nitrous oxide"

Yeah Jeff thats an intercooler, cant you see it going to the turbo
Looks like really small wheels in the front, maybe even shopping cart wheels or some skate board wheels or something. Either way they should have done something different with the front wheels.

hahaha, well, considering the humongous weight differential bewteen a truck and a little Honda, that is not so surprising. Considering the Honda is a front-wheel drive and the truck is a rear wheel using no-traction leaf springs, again, that is not surprising. I'm laughing while I type this: one because it would be plain fun just to watch everyone racing, and two, because you really can't compare the types of vehicles. Then again, when the race is over, most trucks can crush a Honda. When are the races? I wanna watch! woo hoo! |
