Default Civic blew my doors off on the 405

Yeah that is right. I was rolling down the 405 late last night, When a Civic pulled up beside me, fart can, picnic bench spoiler, neon lights full meal deal driver even suffered from hat alignment disorder. So I start playing with him, he took the bait, I jumped out in front of him then he passed me and just kept ever so slowly pulling away. Left me behind with nothing but shame.

That must have been one of those ten second Honda's cause I was on the 405 in LA driving a new Chevy Aveo rental rated at 103 horsepower.

lol funny steve... although I know a guy with a hatch that'll give a good low 13 high 12 sec car a good run... (ran 12.9 on street tires at 12psi boost I think?) and that's his daily driver. Granted he's one of the owners of homemadeturbo.com so he's been building them for a while.

Not often that I feel bad for a Chevrolet, but you even had me feeling bad for a minute. I hate rice burners!!!
