dam that crap has alot of gauges. he shifted 5 times though. i doubt that was the 1/4 mile. then again i've never ran the 1/4mile so, does the 1/4mile take all 5 gears on a honda, let's say a 99'si? i doubt it.

a car would have to be extremly fast to go through all gears. I never been to a track but i think you get up to third gear

Most people end up in 4th. If you have a trap speed of, say, 110-120 thats 4th in most Hondas (or with my ZC at least).

Yeah, a high 14 sec pass on an crx si tranny would end at the very beginning of 4th, unless you can rev up past 7200, i havent watched the vid yet, but a twin turbo vw, hmmmmm....

He only ran a 12...I think it ain't that good for all the things he has doen to the car.
Maybe he has short gears...
It's the VW from england...I saw another vid of it against a Viper...the vid said it was a twin engined VR6 turbo...2 Vr6 turbo's??

Yups vr6 turbo in the front and back. Both are supposed to have 400 hp, so an 800 hp car, all wheel drive running a 12.3.... is not that impressive to me.
