Killed by Civic SI + Questions
Hello all.
The story:
I am entering the freeway and a new blue Civic SI (no license plates) pulls up to me and is pacing me. As I said before I don't race much, but he was in his 4th by my side. I could hear that he is in his power band. Then the Civic punches it and I do the same. He got a jump on me for less then a second. I could not catch up!!!! I was not falling behind either. We were even. (at least I hope so) When I realized that I will not catch up and I don't want to go 100+ on the freeway I let go. He goes away
I think I was killed!!! No, I wasn't killed, I was shot on the head and my brains are all over the place !!!!!!
Hypothetical thinking:
I raced an SI back in a day. We were both stock. I pulled him, but I had to go 5.3-5.4 rpm at every shift. Basically, I was pushing my car. Now, I read all the glorious stories of V6's beating the **** out of Civics and stuff, but I find it hard to be belive. More then half of the stories is we, as V-6 owners, racing some dumb asses. In fact, I was killed by a turbo Civic in SF looong time ago. So, how much of our "kills" is true ???? Never on this board I over exaggerated my statistics on races, conditions and outcomes.
Back in a day when my ex-gf had a 2k Celica GTS I put some comments on this board. I did some research and I saw many posts that V-6 can beat 2k Celica GTS. I drove the car myself. I know that we will loose!!! Maybe V-6 is not ALL that ? Perhaps we need to start respecting other cars ? I understand the point of "Rice fly-by", but why put down all people who own civics?
My family owned a portion of "rice" cars and a portion of "American" cars. And you know what ? Some of them were so reliable, that i was amazed. We had a Tercel, which never broke down until an asian lady totalled it. We had a Ford Taurus with 250k on him, with all original parts and he never broke down either!
Half of the stories is pure testosterone talking. But is there a point to it ? Some posts ago I read that a guy will never buy a "ricer" - he wants pure American muscle!!! Do we think about gas, the looks of the car or the technology? Honestly, if I had the money, I would pick a new Z or an M3 or M5. Why , you ask? Because the are more superior to the Camaros. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE my baby. Well....I love my gf more, but she still IS my baby. Look at the interior of our cars! The shape is very good looking, but inside...needs to be improved. I don't know where I am going with this, I guess I, we, you, need to open our eyes and see what's up!
Now the Questions part:
- If we are so "mighty", then why an SI, with stock bones, can almost hang with us ????
- Can you imagine if Japan would produce a Civic with slightly modded engine (v-4) ? Where will we stand ????
- How much money do you have to put into Supra and Camaro in order for camaro to beat it ?
- Why do you think some cars are not introduced to America?
- The new Evolution...damn I love that car.... V-4!!! Will RAPE our v-6! (but then I see a Z28 guy preaching about killing one) Well, ****, I will race your vette in a baby stroller up the hill and in the part with many trees....Who is going to win?
**************
I know this is a preachy looking message. I just want to get some things straight/together/understood.
Thank you if you read me to the end.

I dont care bout all that hoopla you just wrote about, but either that was a nicely modded civic, or you are in need of a major tuneup. Thats if you are talking about a v8 powered 4th Gen.
By the way, they are not v-4's, they are In-Line 4 if I am not mistaken......
Civic SI is good competetion for 3800 powered 4th gen, up to the driver there.....
All right bye, this post just put me too sleep!!!

Now the Questions part:
- If we are so "mighty", then why an SI, with stock bones, can almost hang with us ????
STOCK BONES? I THOUGHT THEY CAME WITH SQUIRRELS STOCK?
- Can you imagine if Japan would produce a Civic with slightly modded engine (v-4) ? Where will we stand ????
YOU MEAN AN INLINE 4cyl. S2000?!? WHICH AN LS1 Z28 WILL RAPE.
- How much money do you have to put into Supra and Camaro in order for camaro to beat it ?
(SO..., JUST HOW MAN BEERS HAVE YOU HAD BY THIS POINT IN YOUR POST?)
A STOCK MKIV SUPRA IS COMPARABLE IN ACCELERATION TO A STOCK LS1 FBODY.
- Why do you think some cars are not introduced to America?
CRASH/IMPACT CERTIFCATION, EMMISSIONS LAWS, TARRIFS, ETC..., YOUR POINT IS?
- The new Evolution...damn I love that car.... V-4!!! Will RAPE our v-6! (but then I see a Z28 guy preaching about killing one) Well, ****, I will race your vette in a baby stroller up the hill and in the part with many trees....Who is going to win?
THEY'RE TURBO (19psi) INLINE 2.0 FOURS GENIUS, I CAN'T EVEN THINK OF HOW TO REPLY TO THE REST OF THIS ONE...???

Considering an m3 is dead after 50k miles and the evo will need a new clutch after you hot rod it, we really care about your visions of rice. How much money will it take to beat a supra? none you tard. Supras have potential like any car but stock they are on par with an ls1. I have yet to have a WRX give me a run worth wasting my gas on because launching them is hard as hell. Keep in mind a WRX is running close to it's max potential from the factory, while an ls1 is a slouch compared to what it is capable of. PS your gay, go away.
