2002 Civic Si vs. Trans Am

So im driving down to the town where I just moved from to visit some friends and i drive through the lovely town of Sylvania, basically the road is a bypass type of road 4 lanes and a couple red lights. I come to a red light and im sitting there minding my own business and a '00 (I think it is around that year model) trans am comes pulling up next to me, this thing is loud, looks nice, sounds great and he starts reving his engine. Im not usually one to race on a public road but i figured theres no one out, ill just get my ass kicked and it will be a little fun to get the adreneline going. So the light turns green and we both start going, he is flying past me making me wish i had a rope tied to the back of his car just to keep up and when he goes to shift into 3rd i hear his engine hit the rev limit, he shifted into 1st on accident. So I can now say my roughly 160hp civic si beat a trans am :) its cheap but ill take it any way i can get it!

That's dirty! Nice kill to have under your belt though. Driver error means everything on the street!

lol, thats funny

nice kill, all i have to say is a chase is a race and he started it but couldnt finish it

All is fair... haha.

that's what he get's for trying to pick on far inferior cars.
I hope you laughed at him lol.

Hey, a kill is a kill. I know the feeling that TA driver had first hand when I seriously botched a launch, and lost (embaresingly so) to a bone stock auto Civic four door, lol. Good kill, and remeber, on the street, anything can happen!

Nice Kill, but like slowprocess said its a good kill to have under your belt.

fair is fair, nice kill.
of course you realize that guy will be kicking himself in the rear for a while!

Nice "kill".

This type of thing is the perfect example of why "who would win" threads shoule be deleted immediately.

Dear god, if I ever heard that....3rd to 1st.....that musta sounded awful. I think I woulda cried.

Nice kill as is. Driver error is such a big factors in races nowadays.

nice kill. any upset is a big upset. oh man i can only imagine what that sounded like and what that did to his motor. Good Race!!!!

It had a rev limiter... so it couldn't have been horrible, not good, but not catistrophic

not only did it hit the rev limiter it went he put into 1st gear. which at least squeaked the tires but the engine was at a high rpm already which can only make things worse.

Civics Rule!!!! Yess. Another win for the imports!!! LOL. J/K, I better get outta here before I get my ass kicked. LOL. Nice job, a kill is truly a kill, no matter what happens. As soon as you start a race, anything goes from there on. Late...

I'm shocked it could physically even go back into 1st.

Nice one, I'll have to slap the TA driver, imports are trying to kill us off.

I'm shocked it could physically even go back into 1st.
:iagree:

Still, good "kill" none the less.

Hey what can i say, im just that good, j/k. Hey we all have had one of those races where we screw up royally, and yes for the record it was quite possibly the most god awful sound i have ever heard. Im still waiting for someone to come on here and be like HEY YOU BASTARD IM GONNA KICK YOUR ASS FOR POSTING THIS! if so im not racing again, i have nothing else to prove lol.

come on give the guy another chance, your not scared are you?

Hell yeah im scared lol. If that guy had kept goin that fast by the time i got to 100 he would have been in another zip code. And im sure he wouldnt drop it into 1st again, at least id hope not.

Good kill, sounds like when I jerked a plug wire off coming off the line and lost to a buddy of mines vette.
I have shoved it into first a few times but I was fast on the clutch and only chirped the tires and received what felt like mild whiplash.

Man, my car...with both the old and new transmissions you have to be damn near stopped to go into 1st gear.

I feel sorry for people with double and even triple syncros for first gear in their 'uber' new trannys. Makes it too easy to fark up. :lol:
