In contrary to popular belief there are fast civics out there and I figured this guy would give me a good race, I dont underestimate ANY car. Thanks.

Its your gas, waste it if you want to. If it weren't for the Porsche encounter, this story would have been lame.

So? And your car runs what?

There are Civics that drive to the track and run low 11's and then drive home. And some that go 10's. Let's be honest, there aren't very many cars that drive to the track and run low 11's to begin with.

Most people consider a fast Civic to be more impressive, because you're starting with a totally non performance platform with a small engine. It's a LOT harder to go fast in an economy 4 cylinder car than a performance car.

What exactly are you trying to prove that I didn't already mention on my original post?? If I'm not mistaken I mentioned that if it wasn't for the Porsche race I wouldn't have mentioned the race to begin with. Reading>you.

Let's be honest, there are bolt on civic SIs that run within tenths if not beat that 13.6 at 101mph you ran a couple weeks ago, that's the sad part.
