^^^ WTF??? you guys post enough....
what? 
do people know how to read. if you look I say I stayed on the throttle maintaining my same speed. (the speed limit) he slowed down & got behind me then gave it full throttle and he barely got up to my front bumper. "civic walked me?"

The couple of guys I know that are actually knowledgeable about their hondas instead of being total idiots say it would take close to 20 grand to put one in the tens. Then again, there's a guy around my area that claims he's got 20000 in a civic and he's afraid of my 14 second truck lol.

the import defense league can now reference this thread as proof that its a drivers race between civics and LS1 fbodies when it comes to roll racing.

sorry mistyped.... "he BARELY gets up to my front bumper with me maintaining my speed." "that it BARELY got to my front bumper. it took it forever..."
speed limit meaning not going 100+ or any high rate of speed like that... & no he never passed me because after he did his little throttle show he slowed back down and turned off. and we went separate ways.

Yeah that'll give you the power to do it, but I was adding in the cost of the parts needed to do it consistently and safely. You're gonna have to beef up the drivetrain of course, not just build the motor.

ud actually be surprised how solid those GSR engines r with boost - rather high compression but they last. he brought it out to the races a few times a week for a while.

i get the occasional challenge from a 15-16 second car. i think half the time, those guys just want to see how much faster your car is.
nowadays, i give it just a little throttle and play around a bit to prompt a flyby (they drop back like 1/8th mile and floor it thinking they'll catch you off guard), then stop their pull at the last second.

i knew what you meant, i had a serious migraine and ate a variety of pain killers that seemed to grant me a weird sense of humor.

but I think that also sometimes. but other times they actually think there **** is quick. and just wanna be the "RICER TYPE" and challenge everyone to race.
