raced a civic for no reason other than i couldn't find anyone else

i raced a civic

i raced a civic

he had lovely rims (stock) euros lights and an exhaust i just put my head on my arm and absent mindedly revved the engine and floored it off the line

incidently he didn't try

at the next light it is red he is way behind but then as he approaches the traffic light he doesn't slow down the light goes green and he hammers it and so do i

The Volvo i was driving was a S70 T5 turbo 5 cylinder
i got upto boost and start munching at his tail he pulls infront of me so i swerve then i pass him he is obvioulsy still accelerating but i pulled away with ease

i wanted to race a prelude or a mustang WAAAHHHH and the camaro Z28 wouldn't race

booo suck
everyone had been done with racing that night suck i don't feel like going out again untill i get another car people want to race

I have a 98 s70 t-5 with the iPD exhust, chip and air filter kit and raced an 00 civic si that had full exhust and a chip and smoked it. This kid lives in my town and everyone is scared to race him because he has Altezza's, exhust, rims (17's) and DC Sports stickers, which add 5 hp....LOL Now, he is saving up for a Supra...soon, Ill have my s4 and Ill smoke him again!

In the USA, to have a decent car, at leat where Im from, you need, at least 330hp and close to the same pounds of torque. I have a feelin that in England its a little different.

yea i know US its like anything less than 280hp isn't the start of anything

in England anything over 200+ is excessive.

they use HOT HATCHES as base vehicles and they have less power than a Honda B16

Re: raced a civic for no reason other than i couldn't find anyone else

beat s4's, evo's, sti's, american muscle can't really hold a candle, especially in the high alt. twin turbos was the best decision i ever made.
