  • lost to a civic

    i just finished washing my car as it starts to become night and then went to go get some gas since i was nearly empty. ne waze i get some costco 91 cuz theres no 89 and it is costco gas, and i proceed to fill her up. as i venture home i reach a stop light and theres a 95ish white honda civic hatch(with light gfx but tastefully done) on my left me in the middle lane. i had a feeling he would have some mods but i was still confident. so the light turns green and we roll out a lil so i punch it and i pull out about a car length, feeling pretty good until I see out of my side mirror what seemed to be a puff a white smoke. then all of a sudden he zooms past me putting about 2 or 3 car lengths on me. we went up to about 70. his accelerating now is matching mine maybe slightly slower alil b4 he hits his brakes-so im pretty sure that he was squeezing and i could have beat him if he weren't, but im making no excuses for my loss. we roll down a hill and he gets into the right left-turn lane and me in the left left-turn lane. he looks over and i give him the thumbs up. he tilts his head back acknoledging. later we line up again and he kind of goes a bit but i didnt want to chance fate again.

    my few mods:
    homedepot intake
    free ram air
    k&n air filter
    flowmaster 2.5 catback
    msd wires and replacement coils
    had my tools in back with my bowling balls

              The next mod thats going to be done to my car is forged rods/pistons and some juice.. hopefully that will hold them off

                everyone had lost to a civic or other imports atleast once with their camaro. But no one actually likes talk about that. I had lose with this "blue" civic (he local too) atleast twice. Everytime we line up i know i am gonna lose but he still goes for it and i go for it too. But does that make me wanna buy a civic? He** no....i love my camaro no matter how slow it is.....:camarolove: ...... [img]smile.gif[/img]

                    Not a B18, thats the 140hp base teg motor. The B16 with 160hp can do or the b18c1 with 170hp. The b18 is non vtec also.
