What do u guys think of this race
A kid from around my way has a honda civic we went to honda day and he ran his car he ran a 18.5+ and a 18.20 and now he thinks he is fast. Lol. :e has no idea what fast is anyway he wants to run my 95z but he wants a 20 car spot what do you think do I have a chance I figure at the worst I am in the 13s my mods are in my sig minus the nitrous. - think I am gonna do it for small money like 50 bucks I just want to embariss him .S.o what are your thoughts can I win given a 20 car spot.

Seriously -- an 18.x? I don't think 3 cylinder Geo Metros ran that slow. I'd even doubt my 80 Corolla was that slow, and it took over 11 seconds to hit 60.
You could outrun him using just the cruise control's "accel" function.

He has no respect for a v8 or any muscle car for that matter. I tried explaining to him v8's has been going 8's for the past 40 years. There was a honda that went 8.90's it must have atleast 100,000 grand in it he thinks he could build that car for 10,000 i had to laugh, the only reason for the race is to embarish him in front of his even stupider honda friends. I am gonna post a vid, hopefully this happens this weekend and i can make a quick 50 on it. lol

I'd ask him why, if he thinks his car is fast, does he need 20 lengths? That's completely absurd. Tell him real cars (and real men for that matter) don't need lengths. I never have and never will understand that mentality.

riiiiiiiight.

Tell him to take the skirt off and race heads up. Make him more confident by taking a handicap... put his girlfriend in your car.... unless she is ugly... then she can be the race flagger.
After you beat him do drift circles around his car while you point and laugh.

20 car lengths on a Civic is ~288 feet (267 if it's a hatchback). Judging by the 330' times I found searching for random timeslips online, I figure a stock-ish LT1 4th gen can cover that distance from a stop in ~5 seconds. That would actually make it a pretty close race.
That said, I too don't see the point of such a contest. If you really want to race him and give him an advantage, do it like a bracket race. You both run the whole quarter mile, but you start ~5 seconds later.
