The little Civic that could....so they thought!

Just thought I'd share this one...

I was leaving the Friday CiCi's spot, and was just cruising down I-20 on my way to work. There was this silver Civic (01+) with exhaust pacing me on the on-ramp. I was like ah...ok? Anyway, I am going the speed limit (60) and the go by me once we get on the highway. I speed up a little to make up time since I want to get to work on time, and there is some traffic lined up for 3 lanes from left to right with the Civic on the end. I proceed to go around, and get in front. I get in the lane just to the right of the far left lane, as I just wanted to cruise. Soon the Civic pulls up next to me, and coasts. I can hear the exaust blip...Wooooooooooom. The dip it a couple of times. I just look at them and shake my head

and keep the same speed. They pull off making a lot of noise, but not really going anywhere. At that point I say what the hell. I don't even downshift, and hit 6 PSI. I catch up within like 4 seconds and start to pass. I hear the Civic go Wooooooooooooooo! It's no use. I get like 5-6 carlengths very quick, and around 95, I let off the gas and return to cruise speed. This was all with my big exhaust leak from my EGR tube too. Can't wait to get my s*** sealed up proper like! Of course they do the "Type R" fly-by after we get down the road some. (laugh)

Good s*** chas. Its amazing, like your supposed to post mods on the car before a street race. They ****** with you first, so you let them have it. :D
 
LOL cheating? How is their cheating in street racing? If you get spanked then you get spanked.

you are the dude man i used to live in dallas ft. worth area, so i know exactly what you talking about.. gotta run super tuners is on later.
 
I hate hearing how Hondas are stupid I have '01 Si with some work done and I LOVE IT well not as much as I LOVE my MAZDASPEED.
 
I never called anyone stupid. Just telling what happened to me on the highway one night. I took special care to sound respectful the whole post.

Umm, what year SI do you have again??(scratch)
 
good kill ....... they will learn that the pro is not just a reg car anymore ...... we are killers !!!!!!! ( i do mean we win races .... just making sure everyone gets it .....j/k)
 
as much as some of the idiots on this board that s*** on hondas they make damn good cars...it's the owners that rice the car no matter the manufacturer...i can point out all the proteges, mx6s, millenias in my area with 20" rims or double decker wings and make some unfounded generalization

i mod on ha.net and cut down the ignorant honda people that hate on nissan or toyota or mazda, etc. i was hoping the quality of this board was better than this as there seem to be more knowledgeable people here (og) but i may be wrong

i don't know if i would say it's "cheating," but a car that runs a certian time using nitrous doesn't deserve as much respect (IMO) as one that does it w/out, simply b/c nitrous is a kind of "band-aid"...it's just a temporary boost, while a turbo'd or built N/A engine is always capable of that performance.

maybe that's what they meant, i dunno. either way, you won -- it's friggin street racing anyway. those guys are cheesers (and POSEURS). ;)
