Default Crazy night

So last night a few friends(5 including me, pretty tight fit lol) and I were cruising around and this riced to hell hatch civic with a fart can pulls up and revs the hell out of his engine. I started crying tears of laughter instantly. He kept pulling up beside me obviously wanting to race. We finally come to a red light and I tell the girl sitting in the passenger seat to stop messing with the radio so I can turn the TC off.

The light goes green and we...well I guess I do a quick 0-60 run and let off seeing as he is two or three cars back. After this he just kept pulling up beside me I guess not realizing that we were laughing at him the whole time. Are Civics really that slow that they can't even keep up with a bone stock 4300lb(estimate) GT? And how can we keep more ricers off of the road? I mean my car has never been a gem or anything since I bought it with 70k miles on it, but at least I can put hondas in their place so I guess I just want to thank Ford.

Civics are made to transport people, well mainly one person, to a destination and get the best possible mileage it's tiny motor can provide. So yes, they're that slow.

I actually rode in one the other night and I could barely get out of the backseat....it was a new one too. Damn those things are small.

But that's not what I saw on the Fast and the Furious.

So if i had a lot of neons on my car I could take a ZR-1? How many neons would it take to get in the 10s?

Well, I had to do it the hard way. I didn't have any neons, only nawz. For me to go 9's I think I would have a power issue. I'm not sure my AC outlets would allot enough power to utilize the amount of neons it would take me to run 9's. Maybe if you buy one of them there hybrid cars, then you'll have a chance at 10's.

I can recommend a tire though, if you're interested. Post neons of course.

They never give up it seems like.....I have left several of them buslengths behind me and they keep coming back for more. Good kill, at least you got a good laugh out of it.
