Raced a civic....., ?!?!?!?!? Options

[Toyota_guy31783]

2 nights ago i was pullin up to a stop light and saw a civic ex there....i was all excited because for some reason people are afraid to race me, and i thought this guy would. Well the light turned green and i punched it. I took off with little or no competition, i could look in my rear veiw mirror and see him, BUT...then all of a sudden he started to catch up. then he passed me. We were doing about 85 mph and he blew past me like i was standing still. needless to say he beat me. I am still dumb founded as to what happened. It didnt seem like a fast enough boost to be nitrous, could it have been his turbo kicking in? I am dumbfounded...and now my friends make fun of me....especially the one that drives a civic. My car is pretty much stock except for a injen short ram, but i dont think that i would have been beaten that bad unless the guy had a turbo.

By the sounds of that he stuck it in 3rd or 4th and has a very large turbo on it, so it took a while to spool and then they just take off. Which left your standard car for dead.

On a more personal note: HA HA HA HA HA you got beaton by a civic!!
Joking you don't know what they have unless you pop the hood, very deceiving some cars.



I didn't reconise the name as I hit post and then saw it was first post so I'll welcome you to the forum while I'm still at it.
