Kraftwerks Powered Supercharged FitR video

check out the video of Skunk2 FitR at Willow Springs Raceway (Fastest Track in the West)!

The Skunk2 FitR uses Skunk2 Pro-C coilovers, Kraftwerks Supercharger Kit, and 60mm Skunk2 Megapower exhaust.

This little car was holding its own against some really exotic company and was actually running faster than a BMW M5...that video will be out shortly.

Ownage was epic. Lol! I'm not surprised the GD3 passed the M5. There is a significant weight difference.

Thats what your supposed to do when you are running slower than the car behind you... You think swomeone with a SCCA license and a attendee of race schools would know this..

Oscar Jr is a hell of a driver! I have raced against him and I cant keep up

i never let anyone by....i make them work for it....
the fit was squeeling around the turns and the bmw was well...taking them like a champ...and with one little clip and OwNaGe on the screen im supposed to believe this?
whats better yet is the bmw m5 can beat a ferrari f430 http://www.m5board.com/articles.php?id=34&page=3 and the fit can some how magically beat a m5? either the guy in the m5 was just puttin around or the driver sucked.

It doesnt matter if you make them work for it. If theres a car running slower in front your supposed to move. Obviously the M5 driver knew he wasnt going as quick if he moved out of the way. stop being so sore about everything.

you know what im talking about being sore.

there are plenty of commuter cars out there running faster that M5s, Corvettes etc. Straight line? Yea the fit may not be as fast.... But the M5 is Heavy and may handle good for a large sedan still wont handle as good as a car with 1/2 its weight. Look at all the Miatas and S2000s out there running with the porsches, evos etc and killing them in the corners.

I can imagine racing you at the track... Probably like this guy in the mustang YouTube - Buttonwillow 13 CW 0810 Red 1 Part 2
