That was a Nissan Sentra...I think one of the sport compact rags did that. It was an excellent read as well

Re: did anyone read this?

Reminds me of a friend that used to travel to Indianapolis a lot, for business. He would regularly come back from trips with trophies, from bracket (drag) racing his rental cars.

He said they were very consistent, which is what wins in the brackets. Full-throttle against the rev limiter, dump the clutch and shift when the limiter kicks in.
