Me n friend went to shoot pool the other day, n we saw a honda civic with a sticker on its side window that said RICE (and had an X through it). we ended up racing that night, i drive an 86 ford crown vic (302 not the 351 sadly), against a guy with a honda accord he thought was fast, the diff was and i only lost by 1 car length (i didn think my car didn do to bad) bc the diff. was:
MINE :
1. 3 or 4 speed automatic
2. weighs around 36-3800 lbs
3. everything is stock (except dual exhausts)
HIS :
1. cold air intake
2. converters gutted
3. exhaust tip
4. 5 speed manual
5. car weighs nearly half the weight mine does
6. other stuff done to his engine as well
