LS4 MCSS vs. 08 Civic So I was just cruising down in the valley with a buddy, coming back from a girl's house in Bell Canyon, and a black 08 Civic goes racing by replete with god-awful stickers and fart cannon exhaust. It even had one of those Titanium-look-a-like flame tips.
His windows were tinted so dark I couldn't even see in the car at night. He noticed my car and slowed down. He stayed even with me for a couple seconds and he could tell I was game. So we catch a stoplight....no traffic around...pretty quiet...cop check, none present. He pegs his car, bouncing it off the rev-limiter, I just brake stall to 2500 and wait for the light.
Light goes green, he spins and makes all this racket coming from his 1.8 liters of fury. I roll out casually as to not spin, then I felt traction and punched it with the car in 1st. I immediately pull ahead hard, around 2-3 cars, and once I shifted into 2nd, it was near a buslength. I shut it down around 75, way ahead of him (intersection in about another 600 feet) and sure enough I get the ricer fly-bly at like 90, with him driving super close to my car. He got stuck next to me at the light and I rolled my window even more to talk....the guy wouldn't even roll down his super tinted window to talk.
He got stuck at another stoplight and I hopped on the freeway and gave him a little wave.
I'm Intake/3" Exhaust/3" downpipe/1.8 Harland Sharps Rockers/Comp Pushrods/Comp 918 Springs/TBS/Ported TB/Tune/Lowered with SSC springs/KYB Adjustables.....pretty mild but it surprises people.

Good kill on a civic. My car tried to eat an si today. I have to say I like monte carlos though. It tripped me out when I found out they were front wheel drive. I was watching some burnouts and a new mcss pulled up and started spinnin the hell out of the front tires. Craziness.

yeah I have a friend here in town that has a grand prix gxp and I raced him not to long ago. I beat him by quite a bit, but he couldn't get traction. We went one more time from about 25 or so, but that is a good spot for my car, so he got beat again. Have to admit though, car has some ***** to it.

Yeah it has a little something to it for a DD....no match against any really high HP car unless someone makes a mistake. Its all in the element of surprise.

#5 Nacho SS -----13.3X@106.X (CAI/Catback/Tune-2.0X)

This was with a different MCSS before I had the internal mods/Catless 3" exhaust/Updated tune/TB mods.....the other car was K&N/Magnaflow catback/Tune/Stock suspension.
Now I probably should be able to pull times because I can launch harder and this car just feels stronger overall with a new tune. I want to get back to the track but most are far away from me.
