Default D16 Civic vs Toyota Yaris

On our way to a car show we had a little fun.
Coming from a stop light we got up to 30mph, honked it off and the race was on! The civic downshifted, the rpms rise and it starts to go almost the speed of traffic. The civic got the hit but shortly after the yaris began to pull. 13 seconds later we were at 60mph and the yaris had half a car on the civic. By then traffic was a good half football field ahead. I was ridding passenger in the civic. It was a very close race.

Mods:
Civic- Cold air intake, ebay coilovers (so low you can't go over speed bumps), 225k miles
Yaris- stock, unknown miles

We stopped because we didn't want to get a ticket for vandalism because of the tire marks.

Don't lie.
Paco is no slow rider. It's not bad to lose to a 30year experienced bicycle riding food salesman.
He has more hp in those legs than both your cars combined.
