Default Got beat by a new Honda Civic

Driving back from super target. Black Honda Civic I’m guessing it was pretty new I don't follow Hondas that much. But leaving a light all of a sudden I hear a vacuum cleaner go buy and the guy is in front of us flashing his blinkers to get me to pull up next to him, im also guessing he was completely stock not loud exhaust or constantly letting off of a blow off valve. So I pull up for the hell of it and give it a go. We both floor it and stay even then he starts to nose me out at the end.

I think I would invest in some mods if your ride was getting beat by a Civic.
You need to slap on some bolt-ons or something because that would be too embarrassing for the average Mustang owner.

You need alot to keepup with a civic.

The new SI is a few hundred pounds lighter than a tc. Also its a 6speed. Dunno if your tc is a auto or what but i know somebody who has one with the stock supercharger (TRD) and at the track hes about 0.2 10ths quicker in the quarter than a stock si with a muffler.

Haha yeah, i was wondering how many people would read the first post and post before reading the next one.

I thinks its amazing that i get challenged almost every time i drive her car. It's stock except for a muffler so she can have a little bit of the vroom vroom sound (her words not mine) it is in no way a loud *** fart can. I never get an takers when im in my stang. Im even more anxious now though that the S/C is on. One day im gonna pull up next to on of these guys and be like "Yo, i bet you $100 MY car is faster than yours, meet me at so in so in 15 min" Then id just run home and grab the stang and be like "What? I said MY car, that wasn’t my car earlier".

the reason they dont challenge you is because they KNOW they'll get beat
