uhh civic would have a better chance from a dig than from a roll, in most instances with the exception of gears in the stang, im guessing uhave 4.10s or 4.30s? also, you pulled late in the race did you not? if he was gettin closer in the end thats one big turbo lol... well for a honda anyway.

Nice kill. Just if you can, keep it off the streets.
i see you post alot like this and i understand your point, if im ever on the street its just me and the other guy, and we both know the risks, i don't think its such a bad thing as long as you're sure no one else is gonna get hurt even if the worst possible thing happens. as dave chappelle once said, "sometimes you just gotta race" yeah he may have been on p.c.p but whats the point of living if you dont feel alive? Gotta let loose once in a while.

kid probably had a B18 with a t3/4. while not alot of horsepower it does spool quickly and wont overpower the fronts too much. (yeah i know, i used to hang with the ricers back in the day) if set up correctly. some of those civs are sneaky. we have a few 11 and 10sec ones running around the streets here.

yeah man, don't get me wrong. i'm not judging you guys. all i'm saying is to try and keep it safe in the most polite manner, i'm not trying to start any arguement. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just today a car in a street race rammed into an SUV killing the mother of two kids instantly the kids were also in the SUV.

no shame in running with the honda kids, as long as there done right hondas aren't necessarly ricers but tuners, idc make fun of me if you want but there is a difference and its a big one.

i respect just about anything fast.

yeah i know what you mean. there are a lot of idiot drivers around here. the kind that goon myspace and post about a 'dumbass' F-150 who wouldn't get out of their way at 120mph on the freeway. i can't stand them. But as long as you know what you're doing, then my best wishes to you.

no, there is a highway that gets little to no traffic at night. We drove about 10 miles to get to the highway.

I have gears and I pulled on him the whole way, what I said was that I slowly pulled on him, not pulled late or he was gaining. My car pulls like (or better than) an LS1 or 03 Cobra from a roll.
