ok so coming home from work I was even with a civic maybe 1999, or 2000 or something like that. Granted we didnt go a 1/4 mile he let up before me but he was clearly beating me. When I pulled up to him just casually driving I saw a guage on his driver side pillar but as soon as I go up to him he rolled up his window. I am mostly stock and I'm fairly sure he had to have NOS in order to do that with a used up civic but still......

 

you may have lost the race, but he drove
home in his civic and you drove home in
a stang

 

hehe thats true. That civic did not sound like any other civic I have ever heard when he opened it up, which is another reason I think he had a power adder. I havn't done any mods yet and probably shouldnt beracing down the roadanyways but come on its a freakin honda lol

 

Ouch, I would have taken that to the grave with me. He could have been boosting. Sometime cars hide the sound ofS/C whine or turbo spooling really well.

 

Yeah but the ricers are usually pretty keen on getting big BOV so they get that spiffing sound when they shift...

 

I figured people share there experiences here both good and bad. It is embarrasing yes but I just dont see a civic w/o a power adder beating a mustang. What would be fun would be to do some mods and beat him with his little juice rocket.

 

I'm thinkingfor you, a good start would begood tune, 3.73s, maybe a torque convertor. I know dick about autos so you may what to ask around what would be a good torque convertor for you. But if you really want to lay it down a 125 shot should put him in his place.

 

Haha, classic. Probably cooked up a lot of rice in it along the way as well. I had a bad experience myself the other day when i was comming home in my stang. Im completely stock being that I just got it and i came up on a firebird. I was already in 3rd and didnt drop down and was like "eh **** it" and sure enough he sprayed the **** out of me. I find it funny when douches in grand ams and **** want to race haha.

 

i went to autozone today and the guy was telling me he has a dodge neon srt4 with a turbo and it pushes out 390 hp to the wheels...that sucker could take anyone! he was telling me he's taken down everyone he comes up to cuz they never notice he has a turbo.

 

time for a sc
