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.

Maybe he did have a turbo, you guys keep talking about spooling this spooling that, if the guy in the civic thinks like me then no wonder you got smoked doing 85 or so. Your sitting in your car right and maybe for this scenario, you got a 3sgte in your GT and some punk in a Civic with wing and coffee can thinks hes got a machine and decides to take you at the light. Just fuqing laugh at the fool and let him think hes hot **** untill you blow by him like he pulled a chute. Thats what I would do and sounds like what that guy did to you. YO ITS CALLED A SLEEPER! Whats the fun of blowin him off the line when u can give him a head start and really make him $hit tacks when you make a gross display of horsepower. Maybe he had a turbo or maybe he had some nice all motor swap but Im sure he wasn't expecting you to race and when you did he just laughed and said "Is this guy fuqing kidding". It kinda sounds like nitrous though, like he waited till he was in fifth gear at WOT and just punched it, that kinda explains why you were already going 85 when he went by you. I cant think of any better satisfaction than embarissing someone in a sleeper....maybe a nice steak dinner

I agree with the nitrous idea


either way you lost.

what you need to do now is figure out how to win in ten minutes when you see another punk in a civic.
