Default 02 Silverado vs civic

Since I've got my truck I haven't really had a close race with a truck, so I dedide to race this guy at work who has a new model civic. I start talking to him and find out he's got an Acura motor swap and five-speed that cost $5000 to get done. About this time I figure I might have my hands full with this one but decide to go for it anyway. So after work we head out and one of our buddies flags for us. I punch it off the line and burn the 235's so bad I have to let off and hit it again, all the while pulling on him. Finally I hook and end up beating him by 4-5 car lengths before I let off. Of course he missed third, but somehow I never even shifted that high before calling it quits.

P.S. Another co-worker in a V6 stang pulled this guy by a fender. This civic is horribly slow for all the money he spent to make it fast.

The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat! Nice job smoken the rice ,too funny that the rice still got smoked by a v6 stang. He must need serious tuning or he is totally a terrible drag racer.(There are worse things to be) but money
like that should not be wasted($5000 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> ) Nice kill! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I guess the Civic driver didn't have enough stickers, or a big enough wing..... <img border="0" alt="[devil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

I hate when people I smoke have bs excuses as to why I just spanked that ***. I would rather say that we didn't even race than to listen to the horseshit, especially the he said she said **** the following days. You lost, deal with it. Fix it , and we will run again.Good kill.. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

im guessin the civic was an ek (96-00) model, and im guessin the acura engine was a b18c1(integra gsr) which runs mid to high 14's consistently. silverados DO NOT run 14's stock. ur full of ****. i have a hatchback with this setup and i dont even waste my time or gas on slow *** trucks, which are really meant to haul trailers not to race. BTW my friend has a V6 stang and he took it to the track which ran a best of 16.1 (he is also a good driver). That **** is not even believable.

nowhere in there did it say he was still stock. and he also said the civic missed 3rd.

a kill is a kill man, just give him props.

First off no way this guys piece of **** civic can run even in the 15's. Ive got nothin but exhaust on a stock 5.3 and still smoked him. I seriously didn't think Id beat him by much if any. I talked to one of my friends at school who knows **** about imports and he said this guy wasted his money, he said the setup the civic has is just like an Integra LS. I wanted to get it on video but he won't race again. I wouldnt believe it either without some proof. Oh and by the way I tried to get this guy to race my buddies ext. cab 4x4 HD and he said no because it would look bad if he lost.
