I saw a riced out civic driving the other night so I caught him at a red light, Lets just say that I have NEVER seen a faster street car in my life! This thing ate the mark alive. We also ran from 35 (the marks strong point) The civic pulled me so freaking hard it was unreal! It made all kinds of boost noise and was GONE, It was like I was standing still. All I could see were his taillights way ahead of me! I'm not even joking around, this must have been a 10 second car! Well I learned my lesson!!! I have respect for those 4 bangers now!
 
I dont have respect for them yet. A Scion TC keept trying to play with me one day. Every single light I had him by car lengths.
 
well it depends on the car and whats done to it. I have friends that have 750hp civics and integras and i know people with 100hp civics and integras just depends on whats under the hood they can look very similar from the exterior.
 
This civic was a monster. a total sleeper, I had no idea what I was in for! I have never seen anything like it before.
 
lol, i know what u mean, i pulled up on this lime green del sol. It was a chick too. The car was decently quick but i still whomped on it. She killed my friends 02 monte ss though.
 
Just about any hack can make a B16 fast with less than 3500 bucks.

I'll keep my 4000lb, gas guzzling, nice riding Mark VIII. It's one thing to ride 1000 miles in a Lincoln. It's another thing to suffer 1000 mile trips in a Civic.

I've heard the "well, yeah, i may not have the plush lincoln ride, but my Civic gets better fuel economy" argument before. Yeah, I'd hope it does, seeing how you only have to feed 4 cylinders that drive a light car. If you are SO worried about fuel mileage, then maybe you should drive around in a Civic. 700HP or not.

So you got smoked by a Civic. Big deal. Just know that your OEM mark will have something an OEM civic will NEVER have. TORQUE.
 
Civics are still pieces of sh!t, fast or not.


They're great commuters/daily drivers, and that's all they'll ever be great at.

:lol:

I schooled a kid in an Integra in Salt Lake this weekend. State Street and 3900 block. He didn't realize the potential of a Ford Diesel on a Max Performance X-Cal 2 tune. I don't know what intimidated him most, the tires roasting from 1-2 and 2-3 shifts, or the intersection filling black smoke that came out of the exhaust once the schooling commenced. I had to back out of it in 4th, as my exhaust temps were pushing 1400 degreees. I know, 1350 is the "magic" number, but 1400 for a second or two aint gonna blow anything up.
 
I agree guys, I don't like civics or any of the ricers to be honest. However it's easy to say that you could have beat it. I really doubt it very much! Beleive me this thing was ungodly fast! I know what a pumped up powerstroke can do! They are bad azz! I think that this specific civic was a little faster tho.
For now on I'm just going to kick back and cruise her around, no more trying to race anything!
 
I never said I could have beat that civic, especially if it's a 10 second car. I said I schooled a kid in an INTEGRA.

There are only a few 10 second powerstrokes running around the country, and mine sure as hell aint one of them.

It's a 9000lb truck, not a sports car. I know its' limitations. :/
 
I beat an older one with my 98F150 a few years back. It was slammed/bouncing stupid like no springs, fart can, terrible body work and paint. I pulled slowly and my side exit exhaust 12" glass pak only must have lined up real well with his window for most of the race as we got on the highway. Its rather loud when your in that spot. He had to feel stupid, well actually someone who drives something like that probably doesn't know he looks stupid.

Thats a package from ford for the 50th ann. of nascar theres a guy down the street from me with a mint one that he just keeps in his garage.

Just curious, what exactly makes that an official Nascar truck?

Apparently Ford signed some deal with Nascar in 98 and this truck is a limited edition that came from that. Only made for 17 weeks 3000 total and distributed in limited areas where Nascar is most popular. All pretty much equiped the same, I guess only 5 options available. There is some later years that had similar stickers, but not the real deal.

Its nothing fancy actually, Embroidered seats and floor mats. The striping you see. The Roush tip you see but it was behind the wheel on a factory stock exhaust, moving it in front of the wheel like the original Roush proto-type is my doing. It is factory lowered, with the black wheels. 3:73 from the factory. Supposedly a special computer program, all I know is it pings without at least mid-grade. When I did the front brakes they were double piston monsters, think they ended up on the 99 lightning but not for sure. It was supposed to have a special front spoiler, but that didn't happen. Maybe a few other unique things. Its just a dressed up XL, but kinda rare. I don't think much of it, but as the years go on I think I may hold onto it.

haha i can only relate to that riding in my boys powerstroke lifted up all done up with banks system. this thing pours black smoke we've killed so many civic and rsx tuners.
 
There are those very few ricers that are actually fast, my friend found that out this summer. He bought an 84 vette which isnt really that fast but does pretty well. He pulls up next to this kid in a junky Nissan painted flat black with dark tinted windows. My friend punches it and the pulls away from the Nissan, until he punched it that is. The next thing we see is the tailights of the car way up ahead of us. We ended up following the kid to a gas station and looked his car over. The interieor was totally gutted, no radio or dash or anything. The engine was turbocharged.
 
One time my friend and I were towing my Mustang on the fifth wheel trailer behind his Ford diesel. We raced a civic, and won.

I've annhilated a few turbo civics/integras in my silver car, but never in the Lincoln.

So you lost against one, and you're quitting?


That's kind of lame.

Of course there are fast civics...there are minivans that are fast...

but why would it make you not wanna race anything?

Yeah, sometimes at the track I won't win a race all night, still fun. Some real beaters can move, but would you want to drive it.
