Beat by an Accord!!!

Well guys this actually happened a few months back but the board has been down and haven't had a chance to post it yet. I was out cruising on my way to a friends house. I was on the N.W. expressay and coming up on Meridian. This guy in his riced out Honda comes pulling up to me (the car looked very nice). We both had our windows down and he asked if I wanted to run em, so I said sure. I thought it would be a rather easy kill. Well we are waiting on the light and the whole time he isn't revving his car much at all. Well the light turns green and I instantly jump out on him a good 6 or 7 feet. Then all I hear is SHHHHHHHHHH and he starts walking me hard. By the top of second at about 60 mph he had me by a good 2 or 2 1/2 cars and pulling quite fast. He probably would have pulled another 4 cars or so had we raced a full quarter mile. We pull up to the next light and I was like man you didn't tell me you had a turbo he said "You didn't ask" and I was just like good race and cool ride. This guy was really cool especially for a ***** type.

LOL thats why he didnt rev his engine. But the way I see it...You shouldnt feel bad about loosing to a ***** that has a turbo. Cause if you had a SC then he would only be smelling burnt rubber. But there is no way that he ONLY had a TC. Ive gotten close to beating a TCed Eclipse. And ive got a 3.1L. So either he was fully moded out or you might wanna get a tune up. But he also might have had a high stage TCer.

Sorry man I forgot to mention it is a TWIN TURBO he paid like $9000 to have it custom fabricated and the engine rigged to take the boost. It was really sweet.
