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.

Actually a big turbo spools up late in the rpms. He could punch it any time he wanted to and blow by him. He had a turbo, or maybe a gsr motor swap w/ or w/o a turbo. Either would fly by you. I don't think the greddy turbo would fly by you. However it is good for a 15 sec 1/4 mile. Do you have an ST or GT?
