VR4 vs. SiR

Hey everyone, it's been forever. I just haven't been online in a long time. Anyway, I wanted to share a little race I had last evening. I was coming home in the '93 VR4 and I noticed a set of white headlights getting very close to me. I stopped at a red and I could hear the guy revving. It was obviously a Civic of some sort, silver. I took off quickly and the guy shot up on my rear, acting as if he was going to pass me over the yellow line. I came to a light close to the highway I was going to get on and by that time, looking many times in my mirror, I realized it was a silver SiR (Canada) I have seen around. I opened my door and the guy was smiling and giving me thumbs up. I pointed to the highway and he nodded.

I remained in 2nd gear while getting on the highway and let him come up beside me, all the while still giving me thumbs up. :bigthumb: That's when I verified it was the car I thought it was...a nice, clean 99/00 SiR with no wing, exhaust and probably a couple minor tweaks, nothing much. He sat beside me and instead of doing the 1-2-3 thing, I just pointed ahead for whenever he was ready. Traffic was extremely light. I was sitting at about 5500 in 2nd gear and he hit it. Nice little jump for that car, I must say. In the one second it took to be at my redline, I stopped his pull. I hit third and he held me off for 2 or 3 seconds, and that was followed by me going by him very quickly. I would say around 85ish mph is where I flew by. I went to the end of third (approx. 125) and shut it down like 10 lengths in front of him. He eventually went by and gave me a friendly honk, just a guy having some fun.

I wish the guy would have hung around and stopped so I could have told him my first car ever was a 2000 silver SiR. Oh well, I will see him again. Anyway guys, I'll try to post more often, hopefully some better runs. All the best.

Oh yeah, I had an anniversary edition (the yellow one) WS6 pace me for a bit the other day on the highway. Nothing became of it because it was just a bit wet, but nice to have him stick around anyway. Yeah yeah, I know, that would be a losing cause...but a fun one anyway!

Nice honest highway run...ahhh

Better than most of the BS that's been on here lately. Good race.

Yea I agree, nothing very interesting is really going on here lately... Good post, nice race. :thumbsup: Thanks.

Nice run and thank you so much for making it to where my eyes didn't catch on fire! My buddy just sold his ragged out vr4, and a few days later came home with a super clean Dodge Stealth twin turbo. He's already done a few little tweaks here and there(upgraded Bovs and turbo controller). He was having trouble with blowing the intake tube off with the boost up(owned by a $.50 clamp), but I think he's finally solved that problem. He's really enjoying his new car, but he loved the VR4.

i agree...once a honda hits vtec you may as well just give up....

Oh yeah, definitely BS...especially since I used to own an SiR. Yep, I sure know what they'll do...

Yeah young, I read that you're rebuilding in the 3000GT section. Sorry to hear about that man, all the best with it.

Hey boosted, long time no see. Nice kill, although it was definantly a one-sided race. Too bad the ws6 and you couldn't go at it. But don't give up on them. I hate that everyone automatically thinks it's a losing battle against an ls1. I've actually beaten 1, and held quite a few off up to mid-third. They make for some great races, and with a few mods...who knows. Anyway, nice kill.

me too 500, i killed a ls1 trans am (not ws6) and a Z28, with intake and exhaust. they make good races.

Great, just what we need, another VR4...lol just playin nice 2 c u back

Good kill on the SiR, there pretty quick cars, but your bigger engine just takes the top end
