So in the last week ive been approached by a eagle talon, 90's bimmer 323i, civic Sir, and an 06 mustang V6. The Talon i beat by maybe 6 cars, sounded like he had some performance mods, bimmer and civic was closer though, i beat the civic when i started pulling away at about 140 or so, he backed off like 160. The mustang was the closest though, we were on the highway, i merged and he pulled up beside me, i was going about 120 or so, we both hit the throtle at pretty much the same time, i drive an auto, so i put it into "i" drive and ran at high rpm's i was beating him by about 1/2 a car when i toped out at around 200 or so. btw my car is still bone stock.

Your car doesn't go 160.

im talking kilometers, i live in canada

sethallen

must have been a 99-00 civic Si

nice kills though..... but be safe man

take it to the strip!

mtthw214

open highway late at night, im gonna do some performance mods and then balance the engine and start taking it to the strip

MoMoney

What is that in mph??

c0ld29

yeah in canada the Si's were SiR's and the Ex's were called Si's. Is it still the same for the new civics?

mtthw214

around 120's, basically top end

TexasTieaga

200 kilos is about 120 mph.

g5mike

lo,I get a laugh when someone from Canada posts up their speed and someone from the U.S. jumps on them about it, only to realise later its kilometres

c0ld29

At first I thought he drove a lambo or somethin haha... but after a "this is a cobalt forum" popped in my head I figured it out

g5mike

same thing goes when you guys post speeds, I'm like "**** thats slow" till I realize its mph

rallycobalt06

good kills man, i take it you have an ls with sport package or lt? the new mustang v6s are pretty ballsy, its good to knowi could beat one now and i have some mods on my ls.

y does canada have to be different? they are part of north america it should be mph like the u.s., oh well, can't have everything our way.

mtthw214

nah i have a SS2.4l but its an auto so i shouldnt be beating these cars, specially not the stang

p1llar

Or USA could switch to km/h like every other nation in the world...

jeweler54

yea 06 v6 stangs are a awsome race for the 2.4 engine, but my neighbor always edges me out at around 90mph

halfj99

no, but thanks for the offer!

8cd03gro

only to realize later that the 06 v6 mustang is governed at 114mph


good kills tho....im assuming you drive a 2.4?

not in an ls. the 2.4 could beat one if the driver is better in the 2.4, but unless the mustang MAJORLY screws up a 2.2 wont beat em.

c0ld29

what! that goes against all our country was founded upon and stands for! haha

8cd03gro

well in the top end it should work out somewhat like that...from a high roll it should be very close between a 2.4 and a 4.0mustang. about the same power to weight ratio, better gearing in the 2.4, but more torque in the 4.0....the rwd and extra ummm...80 ft lbs of torque? (the 2.4 has 160ish ft lbs right?) should give the 4.0 a huge advantage from a dig and from my experience it does....from a roll it works out to be pretty damned even tho.

being better than everyone else? i agree. LOL

mtthw214

yah we were going from about 100 the first pass and we dropped it down to 60 in the second pas, the highway was open to play..lol

mike25

lmao o i was about to say wtf bullshit...good kills though

STi_WRX02

Good kill i guess.....which highway was this on? I never see it empty around that area...were you doing it around the Richmond Hill area? Cause that's where I'm from....and its usually pretty heat to do any sort of racing around there.

mtthw214

a coupe on hwy.7 cause i live right on it basically and the mustang was on 404 late at night, totally empty

an0malous

jesus he even had a canadian flag in the TITLE.

comon guys, this kinda thing really helps propagate the "ignorant self absorbed yanks" stereotype that im sure you guys probably hate.

lets try not to jump down peoples throats based on every form of measurement that looks a little off to you.
