Default Civic Dx, haha

First of all i wanna say I have been reading all of your posts for a while and i have learned a lot, and i think you guys are awesome


Well at my high school, there is this stupid kid with some crappy civic dx. He was saying he got all this stuff like a motor swap and blah blah blah. He was talking all this crap to my friend with with a 70's Dart with a 340. He was saying he wanted to race him and he was gonna "roast his american trash". But my buddy had recently got a large speeding ticket and didn't want to race. I was calling bullshit on the ricer in the first place. So i stepped up to the plate with my stock 2000 ford focus SE 5-speed, haha. So i ran him from a stop and by the end of 2nd gear i had pulled about 3-4 cars on him. I would just be embarrassed to get beat by a grocery getter.

why would you be embarrased? The only thing potentiall embarrasing about that race was the fact that a school bus could have passed you.

I was just going by models. DX's are basically the slwoest Civic he could have had. I did mess up though with saying the LX...I should have said DX and LX are slower than the HX, Ex, and Si.

Who cares though. I was just sayign it was the slowest Civic.

LX and DX are the same only thing is LX is four door.

This thread does suck the wild moose.

The cars in this race were slow as ****, but atleast a race occured. I can't say the same for all the other bench racing threads on first page of this section.
