Sorry to disappoint you guys and give the Cobalt a bad name but i pulled up to a Civic Si today and proceded to race him. Light turned green and we went, wound it out in 1st gear and went to shift into and i bounced the shifter right off the gate and missed the gear, by that time the race was over. I was and still am completely humiliated by this event. I've raced many cars faster than an Si and never missed a shift and now this. Im sure he'll be on the Si forums saying how he beat a SS/SC and im sorry for that guys. I'll get him next time.

 

its ok....haha.........we all know that a lawnmower can beat a civic si anyways ....lol....just go find him again and smoke him!!!!

 

yah i still cant believe i did it. all the time im still thinking "this guy is gonna spread this **** all over the internet" and it makes me feel like ****.

 

U gotta be kidding me...oh you are....LOL!!!!
THATS NOT FUNNY!

 

yah dont rub it in. its not worth slitting my wrists or anything but pretty damn close.

 

Dude its all good everyone is bound to miss a gear **** happens. you just move on and find your next victim.

 

hey next time u see him you could say at least my car doesn't look like a girls car..........lol

 

Hang your head in shame.

 

Say 3 hail marys, carve an "s" into your chest, and we will call it even

 

but they do look like girl cars but atleast there fast girl cars

 

me and Dan chased after one last night, but he turned off before we could get up to him.......and I wasn't even driving at the time...lol. I was letting Dan see what it feels liek to drive a car that has a functional clutch

 

Ouch, it shouldn't have even been close with stage 3

 

Yah i havent exactly got my launches down with the new clutch, its grabs so fast its like im not even expecting it.

 

just slip the clutch till you get the hang of it.

 

 

personally i think the exterior lookof the SI is better than the SS/SC

 

I know your kidding right? The Si looks like an egg...

 

by brother has a new SI.....i like the interior better than ours...and it shifts smoother. But our cars look better and are faster

 

well to make you feel better, there was a 06si at firebird 2 weeks ago when i went and
the poor guy could'nt break into the 15s......even my worst pass on a bad day with bald
tires my car would still be in the 15s at least.

 

i know thats what im mad about the most, i raced a car that runs 15's with a good driver....and lost. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

 

dont worry about missing a shift.. it happens to everybody... **** i wish i had my car to be able to miss a shift.. going on 12 days without her

 

I vote "Ban".

Just kidding, missed shifts happen. Just make sure to put him straight next time you see him.

 

I don't know why, but the new Civic SIs remind me of microwaves

 

Was he really a good driver or are you the bad driver? A SI beats you with stage III and a 15 sec car? Did you have stage III when you ran the 15 sec car? Maybe it's the LEDS that weigh you down? lol jp.

anyone gives you **** show them this

Good luck, just cause you missed a shift is nothing to be mad about, we've all done it. I've beaten a stage II STI from a 20 roll 2 times already, it's all in the driver. I've noticed when I get excited and the adrenaline starts flowing when I line up, my leg starts shaking and 2nd can be hard to find. Don't sweat it!

 

no i im not that bad of a driver, i just get butterflies in my stomach and manage to **** up the easiest things in the world while the hard ones i seem to handle just fine. i can hold off a 03 Z06 to a 2 car lead, my moms ex b/f has one, but i cant beat a 06 Civic Si. It just sucks cuz im sure everyone thinks im the worst driver in the world. And i obviously know that and SS/SC would beat a 06 Civic Si. I guess i just need more practice.
