So everyone's expecting a sentra to whip there ass... or an eclipse etc...

Your friends si isn't pushing serious power if he hasn't replaced TONS of driveline stuff... and I don't think your getting the whole story...

Lots of kids cars are "modded to the hilt" and "run great" "no problems" until you talk to the kid with the car...

Like I've said in other posts my buddy's friend had a del sol with a b16 (and just so you know the b16 has WAY lower torque then any b18) and he snapped axels left and right needed to have the ENTIRE tranny rebuild with MUCH more expensive pieces.... he had slicks and an lsd and had NOTHING but traction problems... still shattered axels.. that's what happens when you run 400+ hp through 2 axels not even 1.5" thick... even the upgraded "drag" axels break... no not as often but it still happens... and sure that happens for ALL cars as well but lots of other cars are just built stronger from the factory... my buddies rx-7 will just about NEVER need a rear-end upgrade... the gears and axels are all REDICULOUSLY over engineered... where as are's are engineered to perfection.. once you step out of the designer's expectations you need to redesign all those things.
