Hey everyone I'm a newb to this forum and I just have a starting out thread for you all. Today I was driving in my city (Flagstaff,AZ) when a '03 Nissan Maxima pulls up next to me. Everything stock and automatic. Hey rev's his engine (of course) and takes off. Unfortunately, I was taking a left going back home from work. Now I just picked up my red '99 civic si, and it has the common bolt on's already in (i.e. Headers, Cold air intake and exhaust) with a duel bend shifter (I think it's called.) I thought pretty hard about racing him but the simple fact I wasn't really in the mood for a ticket or anyting considering the fact it was broad daylight in a busy intersection.

But if I would have actually dragged him, what do you guys/girls think the outcome would have been?

Race him and find out.

Race him and find out.

Well...I raced him, and it was bad. We met up at this long straight away and we lined up. We both honked and took off. He had a pretty good jump but I wasn't far behind. Every time I would shift though, he would gain a little and a little more. I ended up losing by about 1 1/2 cars. :(

not to shabby, cant win them all.

You are running against a V6 from anywhere from 220hp to 255hp and mid 200 ft. lbs of torque depending on the engine size. 3.5L's even came with 6 speed manual. Of course you are going to lose. But at least, it was fun, wasn't it?

It sure was
