Well the wireless in my apartment isn't working, so I have to go down to the office and sit outside to leech off the complex's wireless... and I'm about to go back upstairs. So good luck

Here's how my car runs:

[youtube]OyVTGnktAR4[/youtube]

That's with a 3mph roll and then putting my foot into it. By 10mph I had it completely floored. You do the math.

You know what makes me doubt that I'll win? Ok, you hear that guy coughing in the background? Who says "I'm shaking" at the end? That's the **** I'm gonna race, holding his blackberry, recording this video. He knows exactly how fast my car is compared to his.

I'm gonna do a TB bypass and see if I can borrow some DRs from anyone before I race. If anyone is in the socal area hit me up...

In my opinion, if you are worried about losing to stock or stockish Civics, it is time for a new ride or mod the crap out of the one you have.

I've seen cai/catback 2.73 gear A4 LT1's run high 13's on street tires at our track the same night as watching many new Civic Si owners run 15's, with the best being that 15@93.8 flat I mentioned earlier. I've ridden in many of his cars too (he has 2 boosted EG's too) and he can drive. Driver error isn't the issue. As stated before, I won't believe it until I physically see it with my eyes.

I'm this thing called a realist

94mph trap is good for mid 14's. I think its a drivers race from a dig. From a roll I think you'll take him good up top

My car was a 13.6 BONE STOCK on STREET tires. If you can drive your car you should wax him.

After watching that vid I don't think that Civic is going to beat you. Your car pulls pretty decent top end. Most stockish Honda's fall on their faces up there. Off the line it didn't seem to be the greatest, but with some DR's and a harder launch, you won't have anything to worry about. FWD is not easy to launch from a dig properly.

So when are you going to stop bench racing and get this guy?

As soon as I get a hold of some DRs...it's not just about the $100. It's about ego. If I lose I'm gonna look like an idiot in front of everyone.

I won't bother wasting my time, unless I have a lot of it to kill. I mean, it took me a good 20-30 minutes of searching to find more than 1 stock 13 second 2v for that one thread. This is an even further stretch.

I have this feeling you just don't want to admit what I just said, which is why you won't post even 1 link. But I guess it's whatever, I understand...
