It was back in Nov 21 2009, the video came online not long ago.

This Video shows how the Knight Sports Rx-8 took the 2nd place (he started at 20th something)

RX-8, 500 ps Turbo.

Mind you guys, the car actually crashed on the qualification, but Knight Sports people fixed the whole thing overnight and took the 2nd place ..

Most of the "road/track" that you see are actually "real street roads"

they just block/close off a huge chunk of the street roads for the event (every year)

That also explains why the KC Racing R35 (GT-R) crashed on the first Corner. ROFL. when it was approaching the first corner I was like hey isn't that a little too fast ? (GT-R had crazy fast acceleration)

then the car under steer and Boom. DNF. LOL

Speaking of the GT-R, KC Racing spent quite a lot of time and money on it, with PPG Gears, specially tuned suspension, a lot of custom ****. oh well.

I was there when it happen ... ahhh that Rotary sounds freaking sexy in person

Thanks for posting. Very fun to watch.
The sound of the straight-cut gearing(?) sounds really cool.

yeah,

too bad those gears are not very good for street use

Footman · 01-29-2010, 02:27 PM

Is that a clutchless gearbox? You just bang the gears?

These were posted a couple weeks ago but if there is ever a best repost ever this is it,,,
That 13B is badass,,,,,

nsu · 01-29-2010, 08:19 PM

Is that the same 13B-MSP Renesis engine you get on a regular 8 but with turbo and some other mods?

nycgps · 02-01-2010, 01:03 AM

Its 13B-REW I believe.

As of this writing, I do not believe there is any 13B-MSP that can go 500 ps without blowing up on streets. Not even talking about Racing.

Thanks NY...

Gearbox sounds like a Holinger..

Well supposedly Esmeril hit the 500whp mark with their one off 13B-MSP turbo set up and porting. No real proof though
