				So who won? Is that film for real? It almost looks sped up. Steve |

				Yeah, I've seen this before.  I heard that the sky is different colors and that it was a lot of video editing to try and make it real.

				It sounds like the car is taking it easy.  It seems it did not get out of 3d gear.  Nor does it seem the TA used NOS. I do think the video was crafted to make the go-ped look as fast as the TA. |

				If it was for real that Goped would have to have at least  60 hp and beable to trap the 1/4 in triple digits. I really don't think any one would want to screaming that fast on a Goped. Maybe I am wrong.

				I spoke with Rick, who creates the Fuel Slut videos. He echoed that the nitrous on the go-ped was only there for show value, and the TA was sandbagging  (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
