01 Z28 vs Civic, siggghhhh I was driving to my schools football game today. Some sweet *** civic with some big *** wing(sarcasm) flys up on me, i ignore it. Next, he starts revving at me. I roll my window down and he actually had the nerve to say "are you ready for an *** beating". I tell him to follow me, he does. We drive down a favorite road of mine and make a u-turn. Go from a 1st gear pull, i pulled on him by around 10+ cars by the middle of third gear.
Sometimes it makes me wonder how so many people can underestimate our cars by such a large margin. It also surprises me how few people have even heard of the LSX series motors. I know all of us have heard the "what's faster your car or that stock 1996 Mustang GT", or at least something similar.

Import drivers are retarded. They live in the world of FNF. Stickers + big *** wing= power.

I try to look at it as not the underestimation of your cars, but the over estimation of the F&F group. Cause you know, add about 500 to 1k lbs of plastic, some steelies, and a ton of spray paint, and you've got yourself a super car.... or so I've been told.
EDIT: Damnit. Brad beat me to it.

Of course most hondas are slow but there are exceptions to the rule:
My old high 11 sec tt supra got owned by a gutted civic hatch...it was quite humiliating for me. Not sure what kinda mods the civic had as he would not open his hood (I'm guessing a motor swap & direct port nitrous).
On the other hand my s/c tacoma beat a turbo civic once...he must not have been setup/tuned very well to get beat by a 14 second 4x4.
I have not been beat by a civic in the t/a yet...but it could easily happen if I ran into the wrong car. That's one of the reasons I have nitrous so that I can hold my own against all but the best without too much humiliation. If it happened too many times I'd probably open the wallet and get a stroker motor or forced induction.

There is 1 out of a 100 rice buckets that is actually nice/fast. By fast i mean it could hit 12s from a roll. But usually it looks like ****. Like that white one in the for sale section that gutted all the way and had what looked like a 45degree camber on the wheels. It was a track only car that runs 13s. hahahhaha
