today as im driving to work, a loud *** honda is driving beside me so i look ovr to see what is making all that noise, and suprise, suprse its a blue honda w/ a carbon fiber hood and no exuast, open header. he follows me op to my work and ask me y i look at him, i say im just lookin at the car, not trying to start a fight. he then wants me to race him this sunday night, when we all meet up. i dont think he has a turbo because i didnt hear a spool, or bov, so do u think i have anything to worry about this weekend, i know he prob has a header or open exuast manifold

 

what year? and I'm pretty danged sure you will smoke him so long as you don't roast your tires for 30 seconds launching

 

i have a 98, he has the body style of like a 96, but thats all i know

 

you may not be able to hear the turbo(if he has one) over that exhaust straight out of the header. I've heard one without an exhaust where it comes straight out of the header and it is FU***** LOUD!!!!

 

turbo can quiet exhaust down quite a bit. so if its ear deafening, he might just be n/a.

either he is dumb and loosing a ton of torque through that open header, or he is seriously built...

race him and find out.

 

+1
The turbocharged 911's are quieter then the naturally aspirated ones.

I've seen some pretty fast Civics that were all motor so don't be surprised if you lose.

 

If it ain't got a turbo than I wouldn't be to worried about him. Ive never seen a fast N/A civic on the street before.

Also is it a VTEC?
