Acura came close... So last night, I was driving my fiancee back to her house when she giggles at a couple making out in a black ~01ish Acura Integra. I look over and notice a nice big wing and a fairly mild-sized fart can (about a 3"er).
He takes off a lil, showing off I guess for his girl and the muffler's just howlin away so I give it a lil gas to catch up with him (oh maybe, just maybe, it was a lil bit of an innocent taunt on my end). So at the next light, I take off on him at about 1/2 throttle and he catches up.
At the next light, I guess he decides he's gonna smoke me in his big, bad Integra so he starts revvin and such at me and keeps his revs up for the launch i guess. In response, I get a big SEG on my face and powerbreak as much as possible. The light turns green, I get him on the launch. I have half a car on him and he pulls a little but I gain the lost ground back and then some as I wind out 1st. 2nd's the same deal and I throw on the breaks at about 70 (lots of houses off of this street). He SLAMS on his breaks and gets behind me (stupid move but I guess severe embarassment will do that to ya). He stays behind me for a couple lights then finally turns left. He was beside me in the left hand turn lane but wouldn't look at me... heh his girl didn't seem to want to look at him either though. Lol
Well... all in all, he gave the Tahoe a pretty good run... all 5.3 completely stock lieters of it...

heh glad u enjoyed it
- it was a stick... before he decided to ran me, he didn't take it out of 1st for what sounded like 6k rpms and he was accelerating pretty slowly.

Stock Integras are slow and gutless, modded ones can be made quick. Of course no matter how many mods you do it will stil have no low end torque/power, so if you don't launch high and keep it in "VTEC", your going to get your *** kicked every time regardless

BubbaBFP raced a del sol the other day and smoked the **** out of it. Too bad the del sol couldnt keep up with his moms hemi ram lol.
Reminds me of the time a little Honda Civic hatch was trying to race me. He was power shifting and double shifting and he was very slowly losing ground to the car I was driving. So sad that he lost to a 96 Taurus. The biggest turd ever.

Good kill.Heheh yah it's not a bad engine... could use some more top end though... and since the Tahoe's geared for towing, it's really hard to get it to kick down much at all once you're above 60... heh... with all that weight, traction sure isn't a problem though lol

There's a difference between *should* and *do* lay waste to a Tahoe.
An older Integra should beat a 5.3 Tahoe, based on paper math.
Most 5.3 Tahoes beat some older Integras, based on reality.
Then again, I get the offhand kills in my Av, which really makes me pull a wonderwhatdafuck (you could use a grandfathers clock for the 0-60 on this truck)

Its pretty obvious you're trying to stick up for the Integra, give it a rest already, nobody really cares all that much.

Well if it was a modified 5spd, all I can do is have a nice laugh at the driver. Like I said before... good run. I can definitely imagine that I would be laughing my *** off if I saw a modified (however modified) Integra get beat by a Tahoe.

Irun, I agree.
