On the way to a friend's house, her in the front seat, we see a riced out civic. She lovesMustangs and my car so she wanted to see me run someone the whole night. So it was perfect that we come across this little Civic.Sarah goes "f*** him up". So I wasn't gonna turn down the race even though I knew I was gonna waste some gasso I drop it a gear and he doesnt do anything. Sarah goes "rev at him", soonthe way to thenext light I catch him, put it in neutral and rev to 5k. I hear himdrop it a gear so I do the same. We were at a bout 55mph and I was in 2nd. So I honked three times, jumped ahead by abouta car length, then he started coming up on me?! Whaat? A civic? So Istayed on itand he's right at my door, we're basically side by side. I shift into 3rd and pull ahead by less than another car length and shut down at the top of 3rd because some RETARD decides to pull out in front of me. So we get to the light and I'm like "That's nice man! Must have alot done to it" And he said the same.I ask himwhat he's done to it andtold him good job for keeping up with me.I ask him ifit's FIand he said he "No its NA" and that hedropped in a stock RSX engine and took off the intake tube So I'm like RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT. We talked for a while inbetween lights, suprisingly he didnt try to hit on Sarah, which was cool of him. And he complimented on my car and said he loved the sound and all. He eventually turned off and honked as he did as to say see ya. It was just nice since Ifigured it would be some retarted ricer saying how he ran my V8 with is 4 cylinder and then he was gonna try and steal my friend (who would've slapped him in the face ha) etc.
And before you guys get on my case it was 1am and there were only 3 other cars behind us so it was for the most part, safe.
Also one question... how in theHELL do you get a Civic to run with my car by dropping in a STOCK RSX engine, only mod being no intake tube? I say it's bullsheeit... I don't think therewas a turbo on it either or else it wasn't loud/big. What can get a Civic with a stock RSX swap to run that fast?

lol i dont see whats so unbelievable about it? its a simple matter of power to weight ratio. the new edge's only made 260hp, and weighed what, 3400 lbs? (im going out on a limb here, judging by your sig, and saying that your car is, for all intents and purposes, mostly stock) the k20 from a civic si or an rsx-s is more or less a 200hp engine, and a civic hatch weight less than 2400 lbs. a full half ton less than yours. hes making arouns 170hp/ton while you are more along the lines of 150hp/ton
hp/weight is definetely not the last say as to what car is gonna be faster, but it definetely counts for a lot..
lesson learned, lol.

well the 02-05 Civic Si had the K20A3 with a 5 speed manual making 160hp andI forget how much torque. I want to say around 130tq. The base RSX had the k20A3 also. The same year RSX-S had the K20A2 with the VTEC making 200hp and a 6 speed. I've seen 02-05 Civic Si's in the low 13's on all motor with the K20A2 and bolt ons. Thats the one the civic guys are swapping in. Put that motor in a lighter shell than an 02-05 Civic Si hatch and you will run low 13's to high 12's all day. The VTEC is what?????................madness.
Yeah that's pretty much one of the best stock motor swaps you can do for that car, and they're definitely quick with that kind of swap. Imagine if he had a turbo on that thing, you would have been in for quite a surprise!
i know this guy with a k20 with turbo he is running 11.3 1/4 thats what he says but i was never there... could be possible he has it in a little hatch back fully gutted

Yea I was really suprised when he said that he was all motor. It's still funny that he's invested so much into that car and yet it's still slower than my practically stock GT Why not just start with a GT and spend as much as he did on it and have a decent car??? Oh well. I got my kill and got toshow off lol

I can make a go-cart run high 11's too but that doesn't make it a cool ride. That's what ricers don't get. A fast grocery getter is still a grocery getter! Notice who had the chick in their car? Stang driver of course. I have never met a girl who got excited about a riced vehicle but plenty who love stangs, vettes and to a much lesser extent camaros
