zolorin Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hey last night after a long hard day at UCSD (leaving at 11 pm) I was giving a ride to a friend of mine to his car and we talked about how to solve my fan/alternator belt slippage (squels like MOFO). So I stop at the stop light and there is a honda civic 2-dr coupe. My friend says "race him" and I say "what the, ---, no" and then the light was for about ten seconds and I reved up to 1200rpm just in case and then the light goes green and I rev it to about 3000 and ease it in the the gear and the honda just drops the clutch and the race was on. Past the intersection he shifts to second and split second I drop the clutch into second and spinning the tires. At this point I overtake him and continue accelerating hard. He shifts to third and moment later so do I, he is two car lengths behind me at that point and then all the sudden his car decreases my lead of two car lengths to about one (I say - "Vtec kicked in") and then he shifts to fourth and I look at my tack 4.5K ("He ran out of steam" - I tell to my friend). and then I pull all the way to 6K and completely lost him and shift to fourth and slow down to see whom did I kill. Oh yea, feels soo good to kill a honda. (on almost stock Z with mistuned carbs, it was good) (yes, mistuned they need another tuning after 20K miles) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akeizm Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 did they stay in first? cause i'm quite sure a 5.0 mustang would cain the crap out of an underperforming 2.6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nic-Rebel450CA Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 You have to account for driver as well. I have even taken a 5.0 in my old Prelude. It wasnt the car that won in that case, it was the driver. Nice kill, always fun to hand it to some joker in a Honda! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Hey!!! I own a Honda Actually some joker in a Honda Civic with a fart can wanted to race me while I was in the parent's Cobra. It was pretty damn funny. He also tried to pass me on the right, so I just left it in 4th at 30mph, and put my foot down. It was enough so he could hear the blower whine, but in a high gear so I was going just the right speed to block him off Then he revs on me at the light. I also had a another guy in an SRT-4 try and race while I was in the Cobra. I heard his friend say to the guy driving, "This guy (meaning me) doesn't even know what he's up against." I think they thought I was driving a V6. It sux when you get beat by twenty car lengths or so. If you really want some fun kills, get yourself a turbo L6 or V8 and go after some LS1 Camaros, Cobras, and Vettes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
