Most Pathetic Races Ever...!

[DL72]

LOL, hey guys, new to the board but the worst race was back in the days when I had my 85' accord manual and raced against my friends 86 Corolla (auto). Suffice it to say I got spanked big time, my 1.5 liter engine vs his 1.8, hahaha. In 1st gear he was already 1 car length ahead (tried to burn out dumped the clutch at 1500 rpm (car kinda stalled, haha) by 2nd he was easily 2 car lengths, in 3rd at least 3-4, and by 4th he was gone!

And heading up the grapvine in my 85' accord, top speed of 35mph with a full load in the car of 5 guys uphill!!! Beat that baby!

Last Friday night as I'm heading home from my shop I'm sitting in a left turn lane waiting for the lights to cycle through when 3 Civics pull up to the lights to the right of me all side-by-side. Every one of them was pure rice with no hubcaps, big pipes, clear-lenses, and stickers. As the yellow went on in the cross-lanes the buzz-bombs started reving until the green showed. It was the most pathetic display of slow I've ever witnessed as the tires squealed, the pipes rang out like the start of a grand-prix race, and all three took a full 2 seconds just to cross the 3-lane intersection! If your car is all pipe and no balls, don't embarass yourself...
