My 6.0L IROC vs. 300+whp Civic

Went out to watch a few street races and see this civic with a roll cage,a big front mount i/c, its on some kind of radial with a license plate that reads something like I8URV8. The owner sees me checking the car out and says it dyno'ed over 300 whp, so Im thinking 2500ish lbs and 300+ wheel horse this thing has got to be fast.He ask me what I was driving, I told him and then I ask him if he wanted to see if his plate was true on that night . He did , we went from a 20 roll which I hate to roll race but he wouldnt dead stop so heres the rest of the story

Enjoy.

Re: My 6.0L IROC vs. 300+whp Civic

not really the best board for this so it may get moved.

nice kill though.

I have never been too impressed with the turbo civics I ran one last year with my old setup and he got the jump and he hooked up first! all I can say is he was lucky if he even saw my tail lights once I burned 2nd gear past him. hit 3rd and he was so far back I normally would have stopped but his buddies and mine where waiting down the road so I stayed in it to make good and sure they all new just how bad he was smoked. funny thing I guess he sold the car shortly after. I am not a big import fan. I know there are alot of fast ones just not so many fast turbo civics

I was on a 100 shot. We went again with me all motor and at 30 mph and I dead hooked so the second race was even worse for him.

Awsome.. Great kill.. He should have added a little more Uncle Ben's before he came out to play that night.. I had similar results with a Subaru STI a couple of months ago..

There is only one way to race, from a dig. If they won't race from a dig then you've already won, and you clearly prove that point.

That was great, nothing like smoked civic.

I have always wondered when the rice will understand that they are a enthusiast appearance movement. Maybe their VTEC will kick in.
