But I wish I could see one win in a YouTube video. It's hard to watch them get eaten by n/a civics. Is anyone chewing up cars in the 1/4 miles? With or without mods.

This is where the 50% 50% weight distribution, great for handling, hurts...
Beyond about 230 HP, a mini has issue putting the power down...many FWD cars are nose heavy..like the civic... Helps with the launch a bit...but hurts in the turns....
