All around HMT must be the BEST on the earth. I was at the track Friday and there are some cars (SI super 60 Turbo) throwing down at best 14 flat. Street tires, but dang my single could do that. The all motors were impressive, but as for the turbo hondas.....phfft. I was soooooo dissappointed.

Ya, I thought the times where off for the power out put. Didn't the Mirage spit out an axle on one of there runs?

I still love the Sleeper-ability of a Junkyard Omni though!

The magazine is getting better though. I would say about 40% of the cars are pretty damn cool. Nobody likes to see 1000+ supras and ---- EVERY magazine.

Havn't really found an import mag worth paying for.

I guess when one of the people from the magazine romped on it, it bucked and kicked and spit out an axle. Sounds really safe.

they should stick to stealing any honda related articles from Honda Tuning.

1. The CRX that they said was an 88 was actually a 90-91 (corner lights, tail lights, door seat belts...)
2. They said the CRX Si had a 1.5l engine.
3. They suck.

I saw that issue too. I noticed thought that the H22 crx was only gaining 25 hp to the wheels with the N20.......
