I dunno Bruce, I think you should bring out the Miata and race him. No wait... I maybe bring out the Rodeo so you can put it in 4 wheel LOW and smoke him from a dig!!!!

hes messing with you. it sounds like he has headers x-pipe b&b bullets and a large cam at the very minimum. Even if that car was completely stock a honda could not keep up with it.

Sounds like he is missing a couple spark plugs to me! That might just even things up for you in your Honda!

Reminder to myself: Pull two spark plugs tomorrow because that car sounded very close to F U C K I N G---G O D L Y!!!!!

LOL!!! I'm probably not going to be able to make that my weekly hang out. Probably more like once a month thing. Its just over 1.5hrs 1 way there. Theres a local hang out thats starting back up in my area, although its not no where near as cool a crowd is still nice to get the vette out when nice and show off a bit. I plan on going to the track alot more, and setting up gatherings/dyno days for some sundays for all of us to dyno our cars have fun at a affordable price.
