got eaten tonight by a CIVIC?
ok, im on my way home from work after eating at Minerva indian coisine (Pratik, if u havent tried this place u gota go there) anyways i get on route 28 north and this is around 9:30 so there is some light traffic, all of the sudden i see this hatchback honda civic that must have been maybe a 92-93 with track numbers on the windows, don't see an exhaust sistem coming out the back and all i can hear is a blow off valve, so then when i pass him i see the exaust pipe coming out of the side of the front bumper. consider that it is a three lane road and there is traffic on all three lanes so theres not much room to pick up speed. Finally we get to a traffic light and i get on the far right lane and he gets behind me after he flashes his lights twice the light nurns green and i gas it, bi third gear i was probably about six cars ahead of him so then i slow down for him to cath up and from a roll at about 40mph we take off (me on third gear) and the civic just get pulling away from me like like i was applying the brakes . for the smell his car gave and the instant power he gained he must have been juicing cuz theres no way he would have taken me just with a turbo. i need FI.

lol nice story. he sprayed like sh*t the 2nd run off the roll. but hey, you just gotta accept theres always someone faster out there... theres some civics that dosnt need to spray to rape you. even if you go FI, there are probably still a few civics out there that can take you. like he said though at the end of the day hes still driving a civic

how come every time we get beaten by someone.. people always say.. "at least our cars look better".. can there be ONE post where the car is just given its props for being faster? im impressed by the OP that he did not say this but its always said.. Srt-4 smoked me on the highway..someone said, its still a neon, Sti smoked me, its a grocery getter, honda smoked me, at least i got navigation, heated seats, etc.. just give the car its props and move on.. granted a civic needs boat loads of $$ to be faster then our cars, but respect the work someone has done to a car like that to be able to smoke us. To each their own and show respect. I dont like the kind of reputation we're gonna get if we keep this up, as being stuck up and think our cars are gods.. lets show some class please!!

id probably be in third just because im lazy since 2nd only takes you to ~60mph, and 3rd at that speed is already starting to pick up great power. at 40mph in 2nd, you are probably around 5500-6000rpm already. or probably around 5000 for 03-04s

Actually in the end, you lost and get to eat his exhaust. If it's "only" a civic then you shouldn't have considered him worthy of the gas. But you did and lost. No biggie if the civic guy wasn't an **** or whatnot. Just chuckle and be on your way.

Yeah, that dude had more than a turbo. I beat a turbo civic like a year ago.. but we started from a roll.. maybe off the line he would have a better shot. So if he beat you that bad... he definitely is spraying.

it is only a civic lol, its not as nice as our cars. i dont see how being a civic takes anything away from his win lol, a win is a win in a race? what does that have to do with how nice the car is? if my boy raced him especially after hearing a BOV, then he obviously considered him worthy of the gas?

without being too ostentatious, it's because most G35s are better than Civics. That's why one costs $16K and another costs $40K. It's the same way that Porsche's and better than most G35's and Lambo's are better than most Porsche's. and of all the factors involved in pricing a car, alot of it has to do with other factors (ie. ammenities, electronics, designing) than how fast a car can go. the engine is just one outcome of the designing process. That's why I can say, at the end i'm still driving home a G. If civic's were worth all that time and money they would cost more and be worth more. I recognize Civic's for what they are...a 17-22 year old's LEARNING toy. Someone with a budget that wants to rip out their seats, in place of a rollcage, put those d@mm alteeza lights on and dump (YES DUMP) money into a car that IS FAST, but still unattractive. that's why no matter what happens with a SRT4 or a Civic or even a STI, I still drive home in a sweeeet looking car. Perfect point is, if this weren't the case...the people who owned a Civic in college or their early 20's wouldn't upgrade to a G35 or a 330i or an IS350....something with stlye, mooooore class and yet still some unbridled power.
and it that weren't enough...come on, this is a G35 forum not a civic forum.
