Was coming home tonight after playing some tennis and passed a early 90's civic with rims/lowered, turboed, the works. He turns down the road im on and i see him coming up pretty slow, i then approached the 4 way stop (there are 2 lanes going the same direction), i didnt feel like racing so i just stopped and went, and didnt wait. I watched him to see if he was going to do a ricer fly by, just as i suspected he slowed down to about 20 and gunned it, at this point he was at my rear quarter pannel, i was still in first about 4000 rpms so i just gunned it and spun just a tad , at this point he was right next to me, could see his interior, nice blue triple gauge pod/gauges, i then shift into second at the same time he does. I could barely hear his rediculouly loud blow off valve over my whine. I quickly pulled 2 cars after the shift and I shutdown as did he, but he just got in my lane and pulled off into an apt. complex. Hah he thought he was just gonna blow by and cut me off to get into that parking lot. Felt pretty good handing him his own ass....

 

Nice kill...civic racing should be a crime!

 

hahaha nice kill. Racing bovs hurt my ears. I gotta start keeping my windows up lol.

 

lol^ get an intake and the whine just drowns even their exhausts out. Thanks

 

nice kill.. glad to see another civic killed

 

civic are a laugh...

 

yea he was no match, but earlier i toyed with a new M3 convertable, i kept up until about 80 when we shut down, but i wast just behind him tailing....

 

i dont understand how they can pour thousands of dollars in a car that needs a completly different engine to be competitive. i.e. acura swaps. by that time its not even a honda anymore its a halfbreed with stickers and fart pipes. no offence to thoes that cannot afford more but c'mon dont think your gonnna beat every car on the road cause you have a muffler, rims, altezas, and a bucket of hopes and dreams.

 

wait i take that back not all civc are a laugh just 90 % of them some of them are ncie the stock ones and the ones ppl actually have the money to do up and understand about cars not those ones hwo think by adding stickers and a big fat can on the back that performance

 

That is the most narrow minded thing I have hear in a long time. There were quite a few Honda's and Ennis last weekend that were running mid 11's, the slowest I saw were around 14.5 N/A. Its easy and cheap to make a quick Honda, for way less than an new Cobalt. Just because someone doesn't want to spend $20K+ on and moderately quick new car....

Now the ricers with the big wings and steelies, thats another story.

 

Look up a guy named "cheesefrog"... Stock-looking 5th/6th Gen Civic Hatch with the standard D16 engine. If you search for him, you'll probably find a video of him walking a Viper on the highway.

I don't like Civics any more than you do, but making a generalization that underestimates an entire model of car is a bad idea. There are civics out there that have spent far, far less than you have on your Cobalt that would run away from you like you're standing on the brakes.

You don't have to like them, but underestimating them is just asking to be totally embarrassed by someone you were just making fun of.

 

Very true, its amazing that there is actually a reality outside of CSS.net.

 

welcome to car forums.... they say the same things on the honda forums...

 

I know... and I correct the Honda fanboys, too.

 

etool drives a civic......lol
