Default Went to the strip today

SO when I got to the strip there were some kids in their civics laughing and pointing as I drove by them in the pit. I turned around to see what the problem was, apparently is was that "it was a slow mustang". I asked them if one of them wanted to line up. These civics were gutted with some wide slicks and the classic 8 inch outlet fart can.

Got lined up with a green one I ran a 14.6 he ran a 22.8 guy said he missed 2nd and 3rd gear but it was a automatic(how does this happen)

Got back lined up against a black one the guy said runs 13s I was a little worried. I ran a 14.5 and he ran a 18.6. guy said his turbo didnt spool right, his front bumper was removed and I clearly saw a radiator and no intercooler.

How do these guys have a excuse for everything. How do they sleep at night knowing they BS all the time and that nobody likes ricers yet still drive their civic like its god.

I ran 2 more passes against a 06 gt that I beat, he ran a 15.2 kinda slow but was fun
Then against a modded mach 1 that ran a 13 flat

Are you sure it wasn't a V6? 15.2 in a GT? To be that slow I am going to assume you would have to be trying to suck.... haha maybe it was a V6 with GT emblems? Seems like there were quite a few ricers out their with you maybe he was one of them. Sound slike you had fun anyway though I love beating someone who talks **** best feeling in the world haha.

no it was a 4.6 I saw it when his hood was popped in line it was a manual and the guy said he needs to work on his shifting after the run.

At 15.2 he needs to work on more than his shifting.

I used to have a 06 Legend Lime Convertible GT and ran a 13.9 stock with it... when I got the new car (in my sig) I ran a 15... I was like WTF. Both cars were auto...

It took a while to notice but the problem was that the carpet was getting jammed under the gas pedal so it wasn't going down all the way ... got down to a 13.9 after fixing the carpet, no prob and could have gone lower while still stock but ended up modding the car first.

Not too bad of runs you had... What did the rest of your runs look like (60', 1/8mile/mph, and your 1/4 mph's)

Do you have stock gears still??

22.8?! An automatic civic ran a 22.8?! Thats a solid 4-5 seconds slower than stock... Was there a tow truck in front pulling it along? Or maybe a couple friends behind pushing it? I mean, I know civics are slow, but 22.8... Im pretty sure a stock Geo with 60hp could beat that. I wish I was there just to figure out how its possible
