Last night on my way back from my girlfriend's house around 1:15am, I was passed (casually) by both a civic (in classic ***** trim - half finished body kit, fake hid's, loud exhaust, pipes scraping the ground on every small bump, giant wing, etc) and a stock looking Eclipse. I believe the Civic was late 90's and the Eclipse was around an 00-01 model. I let them pass by and watched as they pulled up beside eachother ahead of me. I lowered my window a bit to hear when the Civic gassed it, and when they punched it, so did I (this is about 55mph or so). I started back behind them by about 2 bus lengths in third gear. By the time I hit 4th, which is about 85mph, I was only a couple cars behind both of them (they were dead even). I had to let off so I didn't rear end them, but an exit lane came up... hehe. I slammed back into the throttle , opened back into the secondaries, and absolutely flew past them topped out in 4th , put it in 5th for about half of the gear and then let off. If you've ever seen the video on youtube where two slow civic ricers are racing through town for a bit, and then are passed in the two-way turn lane by a convertible Cobra, I'm sure that's what it was like for them.

EDIT: This video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlJ8wJjJYjo

 

lmao it kinda reminds me of my favorite youtube video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1wQ_DxvVQ

 

The funniest thing is that I watched both those videos the day before this thread was even posted! Nice work putting those ricers in their place!

 

I'm not even a mustang guy but that was a sweet video... OWNED!!!

 

Don't ask me why but the video is just so wicked to me. I love the Terminators but I'd pick a LS powered car over one any day of the week.

It's awesome how not even a second after the Nissan passes them, the chase is on. Camera car is a stock mid 12 second car... the orange Cobra pulls on the camera car like it's not even moving!

 

I know man it's sweet. I love that they travel in packs, what a bad a$$ way to hang out. I wish more third gen guys did that.

 

Sorry bout going off topic (nice win btw) but I love videos like that when a pac of whatever thats american muscle travel together in cruises.

Cant wait tell I get an little older, would love to start an f-body (may increase to mustangs, vettes, etc.) only pac that cruises every say friday night, weather permitting. Not necissarly looking for races, just having a good time going to say the Coast or what ever.

 

I'm right there with you man, I wish more people did that, it would be so fun, and bad a$$

 

btw plasmeh, I bet you probaly shocked the fudge out of them! should of got video of it!

 

Stupid thing is - I had a video camera mounted in the car at the time, I just forgot about it =/ It's a suction cup mounted to the t-top glass - works great. I keep it in there for just such occasions haha. Oh well.

 

haha, wow you know i have never thought of doing that, (yes i have t-tops) wow, thats pretty cool tho! does it work good?

 

Yeah, it works great. I use to have a mount that mounted to the seat headrest, but the vibration was too much from that and the camera wasn't high enough. I opted to grab a suction cup camera mount and haven't looked back since. Vibrations are gone with this setup and the video is nice and stable. The camera can be mounted on any of the glass surfaces in the car, or the metal outside the car. I use small Xacti 720P handheld-flip camera, but it will hold heavier cameras as well.

 

nice Where do you get the mounts from?

 

Sorry, I know this is off topic, but that vid reminds me of this one lol:

haha thats great. i have friends who have vtec civics and they never learn. they always try to race me knowing theyll lose and i just toy with them. ill stomp second and pass him before i even start hooking up hit 3rd and let off and let him catch me again. then do it AGAIN. its like dude give it up and stop wasting my gas. i have a dohc vtec civic for a daily driver and yeah its a fun little car that i can put cheap gas in a drive to work but i mean common now, no torque vs enough torque to pull town a house? gee i wonder which will win?? lol

 

That's the video I was referencing in my original post lol

 

My bad lol, I fail to read things completely. Sorry about that.

Ok, one more, one more:

Honestly, thumbs up for a nice kill! I wish there were more ricers where I live. I also wish my car had the ***** your's has.

 

 

i wish there was more ricers ....i have a 305 tpi and i like to feel like a winner when i race ...lol since i always get raped by anything bigger sad but third gens are slow... only for now...till i get a 383 stroker

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkmX1u5nkr8&NR=1

 

It's sad when my tired 2.8 even beats VTECs...

 

HAHAH that car vtec vid was awesome. I have so many ricers in my area.Not to be racist but im surrounded by ****** in brooklyn and they all,and by all i mean everyone of them owns a *****. All night long you hear leaf blowers going by until 3-4 in the morning then they stop. I beat the russian bmw dicks all the time. Haven't raced a ***** yet.

 

Most 3rd Gen. owners don't do that because it's alot of organizing to do that and from my experience it's been downright hard to get any 3rd Gen. owners around my town to go out driving together with.

 

i know the feeling... but then again down here we also have cops that will pull you over for breathing wrong... much less a pack of third gens riding around lol

 

Cops who do that are usually bored with not alot to do.

 

well in a bunch of small towns strewn together to form what we so lovingly call "Methingham County" you figure they would focus on the meth labs and not the firebird cruising at the speed limit just because he looks "suspicious"

 

kinda off the subject but i stumbled upon this v-dub and i'm sure ya'll would more than love this little thing lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrocJ...eature=related

this is the kind of thing i'm surrounded by down here

 

lol with a civic that easy to take down i could just trow a steel bumper on a v6 camaro and id never lose to a rice lol

 

At least your ricers are white people. I have the real ricers in my neighborhood. I got chinese ricers. Who try to race me, some of them even had the ***** to lift the car cover off my car to see what it was. Most ricers weren't made to race. That's why most of them blow engines,clutches. (Besides from being idiot drivers) Push your car too hard and that's what happens. Pontiac and Gm made our cars to be a muscle car and go get the groceries at the local store. We're equipped to handle that type of usage.

 

Ive always loved the pack drivin but there arent really any thirdgens in my area so our pack normally consists of my 3rd gen, a 4th gen SS, Mustang GT, 2 SRT-4s, a few lifted trucks, and a 5.4L prochargerd Ford Boss pickup.

Now in springfield, Mo they have a giant pack of racers that all roll together. Something like 30 cars made of Mustangs, Camaros, Corvettes, SRT-4s, WRX, all together a wide variety of modded vehicles drag racing down through the middle of town.

 

It was on christmas and i was in my house hosting a huge party. It happened while i was cooking. I'm waiting to catch some dick. I bought cameras to install. I'm a psycho when it comes to my car. Haha mostly everyone's first car is a basketcase. People will try to rob anyones car as long as it looks good.

 

ahahah I read this post first and I didnt read your previous ones, had me laughing pretty good makes sense now tho sorry for the childish humor

 

haha, everyone needs a good laugh now and then. No harm done. Not gay..(Not that there's anything wrong with it) Although people can argue that it's natures way of purging out the weak genes.... And to relate this to topic ricers are like automotive gays. They get weeded out because of their weak 4 cylinders and to fit in they conform to the v8s by putting turbos and superchargers and thats why they get blown up.

 

when i lived in killeen texas i actually caught a guy tryin to steal the aluminum snowflakes off of my 86 firebird s/e, i walked up to him and asked what he was doin, he gave me some story about they were takin his wheels to walmart to get the balanced lol, i asked if this was his car he told me it was, that's when i pulled out my keys and unlocked my door and pulled out my 32mm wrench from the back seat, i told him you have 3 seconds to get outta here or i'm gonna beat you to death with this, he called the cops lol, needless to say after i showed the cop it was my car and my jack and lug wrench were in the back hatch that guy went to jail

 

killeen is full of idiots. i would whooped his @** either way with my tire iron lol

 

i couldn't help but laugh it off at the fact he called the cops while tryin to steal my rims, but i went out later that day and picked up a wheel lock set

 

if i were that cop i would have slapped him in the back of the head while putting him in the car. but when did you live in killeen

 

for about three months up to the week before thanksgiving in 09, i lived behind the shopping center close to the east gate of fort hood over there

 

o that cool i wish i could leave this place i hate it here lol but w/e

 

yeah it sucks pretty bad out there, fayetteville arkanssas wasn't much better lol, i'm just happy to be back in southern georgia where i belong lol

 

Damn, crazy story. You were rather calm. What an *******. Did he really think he was gunna win? One time chinese parked in my car port blocking it off and i was taking my TA out and i come back and this ***** is parked in my driveway. I ask him nicely to move his car and he gives me this dumb look. So, i tell my dad to come out and he's huge 6'5 guy.Asks him to move. Still doesn't move. I get pissed cause im wasting gas. I take a tire iron from my trunk and whack his rear corner panel. The ***** flew off never to come back. Bottomw line is people are fukin morons. I'm glad you stuck up for yourself. A columbian girl i used to know lives in fort hood and goes to culinary school down there. Said it's a nice place.

 

lol yeah i used to have a 78 f150 with a 351 m/400 in it with 4 wheel drive sittin on 38 with a small lift, also had a "backyard" brushguard on it, i was drivin down I-16 out here and this little ***** wouldn't get outta the way, he was doin 45 in a 65 and the hammer lane is full of traffic so i can't pass, i blow the horn and the guy flipped me off, so i dropped it down to second and moved him lol, i tell you what honda building materials can't hold a candle to how our old school cars and trucks were built

 

haha thats a crazy but funny story

 

that and the reason i was calm is i know i could take him if i had to and if i couldn't and things got outta hand i always have a springfiled gi issue 1911 semi auto next to the seat with all documentation in the console lol

 

Yeah, good point. Another great but crazy story. That's an old sniper(well without scope just a rifle) I wish we could carry weapons up in NY. The people here are like animals anyway. Would be like shooting wild bucks in a concrete jungle. I hate it here.

 

OP, good job showing them up!

My brothers old 3.1 5 speed camaro lost to my buddies 94 civic that he put the weakest VTEC motor ever made into. Not sure what VTECs your racing to beat with a 2.8!

A 1911 is a pistol, not a rifle......and a bad @** one at that! I prefer the colt version though.

 

ah,sorry i was thinking of this one by mistake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1903_Springfield.

 

we diffently (spell check) have some violent people on this forum lol but for good reasons

 

It's the idiocy of people that cause us to be this way. I would kill a man if he damaged my car.
