those cars are running 12's and 13's stock?? Maybe i should buy an eclipse............haha, jk. Thats pretty dang quick though. I would guess though that they are paying a bit more for that then a mustang with mods would. Pretty cool thing about those that my small engines teacher was telling us. He was saying that "rice rockets" as he calls them, have to rev high to burn out, relying on their horsepower to make them spin. Kinda like a chain saw, you have to rev it high for it to cut wood, and keep it high, or it bogs down quickly. On muscle cars, you can burn out in lower rpm because the torque does it. Just thought that was kinda neat.
