Hey, they were bracket racing. anyone would get killed by a 10sec car... ok, maybe the vibe was a little slow...

wonder who's that is and what he ended up running.and remember, bracket racing isn't necessary to be fast. you just have to be consistent every time. there's a guy in a neon here that bracket races. he runs 17.1 almost every single run. talk about consistency!

Are our Vibes really that pathetic? Well at least they can sound and feel fast. I blew the doors off our Vibe with our '97 Subaru Outback wagon. The wife was driving the Vibe but she knows how to shift and I mean I left the Vibe like it was a moped.

Peppy on the get go but no power to continue running all out.
