Project ASS14 Part 1: Know Your Enemy


Look at this guy. Why does he have a doge sticker on his window? Why is his car number 86? What is up with that fake carbon fiber hood? What's with those dented front fenders?

Doesn't that make you want to teach him a lesson?

That was the motivation behind the ASS14.  To beat an over-modded car with pure driver skill.

If this was your typical Corolla, there would be no challenge for us. Unfortunately, this car has a stupid Initial D Takumi-spec 4AGE 20V blacktop along with several other questionable mods like fake BRIDE seats and a vinyl-wrapped hood to give it a CF look, but with none of the weight savings. This puts his motor at about 160+ hp and 120 lb/ft torque in a 2300 lbs. car. Not only that, due to guidance from Filipino Uncle, he now has race pads and proper sticky tires.... and an actual vented CF hood waiting to be installed!

The 400+ lbs. advantage is huge, but we will prevail...
