Default Whats up with ricers thinking theyre fast??

This morning i was dropping my hopefully-soon-to-be-gf off at school and i was at a traffic light next to this early-mid 90's civic hatchback with a fartcan and goofy stickers. well i was in a rush, so i wasnt payin it any attention at all. i could sense the guy was staring at me, but i didnt respond back. well i floored it at the light, not because i was tryin to race him, but i was REALLY in a rush cuz i was running late. and i look over to my left and i see the pos civic tryin to keep up with me about a car length back the entire time. i thought it was weird, because all of the other traffic was WAAAAAAYY behind us, and it was just the civic that was a car lenght back from me and i heard its engine tryin to keep up wit me. i was like "wtf? dude i wasnt even tryin to race u at all and i still won somehow" i swear i didnt go over 3Krpms the whole time....so guys, i gotta ask you, was this a kill????

if i had really tried to race him, man i think i woulda embarressed him.

you can make a civic fast but it would cost you don't see why people do it my friend beat a 2000 civic with his lumina you should have said the heck with it and started racing because you know that he went and told his friends that he almost beat you

he was hell fast. your power drops off at 3k rpm anyways. if you would have kept going he would have owned oyu on the top end. he was just waiting for his vtec to kick in in third gear!
