Default Heavy a$$ v8

So my buddy called me at midnight last Saturday saying he has a biddy with a civic who thinks he will blow my doors off.......

Well HE gets on the phone and tells me that his light *** civic will beat my heavy *** v8. OK, so I just give him the benefit of the doubt and ask him about his setup. He is building a civic That will have dual stage turbos, CAI, cams and carbon fiber everything..fenders, hood,and whatever else he said. So the i proceed to ask how much boost he will be running.. He says 10lbs. I shoulda just I told him he would need at least 20lbs just to keep up,"WHAT!! I'll blow my motor up" He said.

I started to feel gay like i was in fast and the furious so i told him i had to go and call me when the car gets built. Witch is 6 months from what he told me, so don't plan on hearing a kill story for a while.

He never did ask about my car but then again it doesn't look to threatening

Als the funny thing is that he called my car a heavy *** v8...HAHA. Well it does weigh 3,095lbs but it isn't no dodge cummins.

I was expecting him to say he wanted to go from a 70 roll but no he wants a dig, and i will make sure to have my street tires on if this race ever happens. I'm sure his car will be all stripped out and running on 3 cylinders

The race would be hilarious but I doubt it will ever happen. He obviously doesn't know **** (typical ricer) and will probably blow it up. That is if he ever gets it running.

thats a very nice sleeper you got goin on there. . . may i ask what the stats were of your 10 sec pass? ET and Trap speed and 60' and what not?

That link you have up of your car launching is sweet, looks like the front wheels wanna leave the ground but are just stuck in between coming up and not.

Sweet ride either way! And you should change the thing under your name to 10 second club now too unless its a

Thanks, you have a very nice car. If i were to get another camaro that sunset orange would be the color.

Look for my car this fall, It should run a little stronger.

I love the "heavy" argument.

The other day a ricer on another board told me he only needed 150-200hp to keep up with a v8 with 400hp. He's talking about a basically full weight civic si. Guess he thinks my car weighs 4300lbs without me in it or something.
