Default Civic Battle.

Well on the way to work today I saw an late 90's i guess Civic with a coffee can hanging off of it and decided to see if he would play a little. For a couple miles he wouldn't even look over then I kinda took off and then he followed through some traffic untill we got a little clearing and he stepped on it and so did I, Well he just kept pulling steadily from me untill we shut down at about 95 ish. I had the Top down so we kindatalked back and forth for a few moments and from what I could gather is that he was running a RSX type Sswap and from what seemed to be a Boost guage on the A pillar.BTW this thing had HUBCAPS for crying out loud no spoiler at all and a few decals on the front fender. Total sleeper.
Driver seemedpretty cool though complimented eachothers cars and went on out way.
Moral of the story everything is not what it appears.
This kind of body style.

sounds like another well thought out Honda. They can be fast and when they are, they end up surprising a lot of people.

Yep. Thats why you shouldnt try to race the ones that dont look like ricers, because theyre usually hiding something.

FYI, if you didn't already know it, racing with your top down will KILL your HY pull. I've seen the difference with my own eyes and it's significant. Having the top down creates a ton more drag, thus you will be noticabably slower.

Nice acceptable death. With just a Type S motor in that model Civic would run low 14's stock. Add some bolt ons and you have a mid 13 second car, add a turbo and you'll see 12's if you can hook.
