wow, damn cavaliers

So, I just had my first stoplight race yesterday. not that i never wanted to, just that i never had the chance to do one and never actually looked for one. So this cavy was driving all fast and crap and had a bigass fartcan, so i figured that this would be a pretty easy guy to get a race goin.

so after foolin around a bit we got to a red light, i look over, he revs, i rev, i'm not paying attention, the light turns green, he goes.... then i go. i pass him after shifting into third (~50mph) and got a half carlength before i shut down. we then kept on the street, after he caught up to me. then he punches it (~100) so i downshift into third and punch it. i past him after a few seconds then we let off and drove our separate ways.

now this might not seem impressive but it really surprised me. why you might ask, well that's because i drive a bone stock, fully loaded (power windows, ac, power steering, everything) 1992 accord. mind you it's manual and i don't know what his was but it really impressed me.

edit: I also heard a whistling from his intake, at first i thought that might be a turbocharger but after i beat him i figure it's probably just a cai or short ram,

Cavaliers are slower than civics.

^^ That is a very general statement. A Z24 w/ an Ecotec is far faster than a D16. However, a new Si and an older 2.2L Cavalier going, the Civic would more than likely have it. The point is, is that you can't just say Cavaliers are slower because in some cases they are and some they are not.

Glad to here you won though. Sounded like you had a good time.

it's an accord, not a civic. the cavalier was definitly newer than my car (i'm guessing somewhere around '96, that generation.)

And yeah, it was pretty fun, the best part was that he was your typical dumbass with rap blaring, fart can, etc. i just enjoyed putting him in his place. had i lost it wouldn't have been bad though, i drive a 1992 family car, it wasn't meant for racing.

this story kinda sounds familiar...are you sure you dont drive a focus....and the cavy you were racing did it have a body kit and was it red.....

Yes I know you have an accord. My statement was meant to explain why you shouldn't be surprised about beating it.

And yes, I can say cavalier's are slower than civics. Given equal trim levels (i.e. Si vs Z24) the civic is faster.

actually they're the same. Both equally driven they will see low 15s.

Who cares though?
