My first import kill!

Me and my girlfriend were coming from the movies and turning out onto a busy street they have 2 left turn lanes. I'm in the far left, and theres a 2001 Honda Civic in the right and a car behind me. I figure he had about 400 horsepower, since he had big rims, clear taillights, huge exhaust tip, wing almost as tall as the car, blue LED washer fluid sprayer lights, and a "Powered by Honda" windshield banner. I was scared . So the light turns green, and we turn on to a 3 lane road. Its me, a van, and an open lane. He goes around the van, then gets in front of it and theres a car in front of him. So me and him are side by side, and the guy in front of him moves. He guns it. Its maybe a half a car length ahead and I gun it and pull on him and past him. We went up to 85, then it started to wind so we cooled it, then it went straight again and he goes again. Once again, I floor it and pass him at like 90. I was pumped!

yeah, that combo alone adds like 50 horses.

i can't stand the new civics, i'm glad that i got mine and didn't wait until the new body came out there is definitely not half of the products out there for the new civics, so if you see one thats all tricked out looking, its prolly a wanna be

My favorite is the kid in our schools parking lot with the Powered by: DC Sports around the liscense plate. Gotta be worth 25 hp.

And another popular one around here is a place called Manchester Motorsports. Every 16-17 second Honda has one here. I'm sure most of the drivers don't know where the place even is!!!

Today I saw a Ford Taurus, early 90's style, not a SHO riced up. In had 17" rims with blue painted calipers and he even painted his rear drums blue! He had a "Nitto" sticker on the bottom of his windshield, and a "Ford" sticker on the top, along with a couple stickers on the side by the wheel. His fender was also crushed and he front headlight was busted. That was a total of at least 530 HP.

dude, ur so lucky if he would have had the little lights on his rims, cause i mean those thing add atleast 25 hp if not more. and if he would have had an SI sticker on it or some other cool stickers on it u would have gotten toasted. but on the serious side, good kill.

Yeah man, and it was void of yellow stripes and "Type R" stickers? Damn, those are some of the cheaper 30-hp mods ;>

I can't believe everyone forgot about the bullet-hole stickers. I heard those are good for an entire half second off your 1/4 mile time.

Well, You know what's funny?? I ran a 13.5 at 103 on street tires. And to be honest... it was one of the best launches I've had in a while. It would be a good race! You know what the sad thing is though? You have four more cylinders than I do! I'm only joking! I don't want you guys to get the wrong idea. I have great respect for F-bodies and corvettes. After all, I own one too. I just like giving you a hard time! Didn't want to inspire a riot!

T/A1988, im not trying to start a riot, i just want a challenge. your eclipse sounds fast, and not many people are a fast as my vette where i live. i agree it would be a good race. by the way, ive done some more stuff to it since my last run and am hoping for low 13s to 13 flat. the track here opens in 6 days, and ill be posting some new numbers and mods soon. ill run the camaro also, to get some baseline numbers.

First off, NO!! It was not cheap to get my eclipse to run that fast! Secondly, TPIVette89... Sounds like you have a nice vette! Good luck at the track. And remember, if you want to win... stay away from those Honda Civics!!! Definitely Kidding!
