Im sure its all over the Honda forums that you got punked. Now youre gonna have every Honda out here gunning for you because you cant drive. Lol! I went up to the car show the other night with my dad, (69 Z/28 with DZ302, M22 4-speed) and got along side him to just kinda mess around, and right as soon as I got along him, a cop pulled out right in front of us. Lol! Its like they knew something was going on. Everytime we are about to act a stupid, a cop always shows himself. Haha! Oh well...one day.

I gave him the Shaka sign at the next stoplight and all he did was mean mug me. Shrug.

I'm sure he had fun telling all his buddies he blew my doors off.
Just remember, all those kids think Honda Civics and similar are "sports cars".....
Even though they are JUST "Economy Cars"....you could smoke them and bury them in front of a hundred witnesses, and those ricers will still swear they beat you.
There is nothing wrong with those types of cars, but when you start seeing them with cobra stripes and/or imitation WRX/STI hood scoops...well uh...

Yeah, it was the little two door Accord coupe clone from a decade or so back. Not even remotely fast, I've driven them before as my buddy owned one. I would have obliged if we hadn't been in the middle of the city with a 45 mph speed limit. I have no desire to go to jail. He was easily going 20 mph faster than me.

Any thoughts.

I was in a 30mph zone, when I unexpectidly saw a 8 year old civic with a nice paint job and rims, seems he had his wheels slanted out at an angle as well.
Had a better sounding exaust than most civic's but still sounded like a fart can.
As I pulled past him, I decel'd to give him a taste of my decel pop, then accelerated to give him a taste of what a exhaust should sound like...lol...I know mean...but if you are gonna drive a car like that...
I have more respect for a guy who fixes his Civic up without all the cheese.

Too bad they dont realize those late model subies are turbo charged 2.5 litre flat four boxer engines that are very fast.
Now, woth my 1Le I ignore anyone who is "not worthy"....which is 99% of the cars out there lol.
I've got a truck that'll show you a good time.

Track pack doesnt change anything that would help with the 1/4 mile.
Not like the 1LE where they change the trans and rear gearing.

only once has someone tired to "race" me, this was a guy in a 13' shelby GT500 with a licence plate bracket that said 750hp, don't know if he had 750 horses but it would'nt have mattered. Why even waste the gas.
