Default Civic tryin to play with V8s

So im minding my own business headin back to my barracks when a ricer comes outta now where on my bumper. well he gets up beside me and i notice its like a mid 90's one 4 door with a **** load of gauges. well i think nothin of it. next thing i know the guy is throwin revs i just smile and plod along. well he guns it and i was like what the hell i was bored so i punch it i let up after i had like 3 bus lengths in about 20 secs. well then a Supercharged cobra comes up to play around neither one of us racin just punchin it and chasing each other. So the whole time we play the civic trys to keep up with not much luck it would only catch back up when we both slowed down. So it was kinda sad but oh well it was an amusin night

Yeah, the majority of the Civics like that are easy prey (and kinda dumb)... but there are some around where I live that ALOT of people have to watch out for. Good run

nice kill, kinda sucks to waste your gas on those riced out civics, but it still puts a smile on my face smoking one.

Good kill. There was a kid at my college that had gutted out civic with a motor swap and turbo. He put down 250whp and that thing could move. I'm sure he would have beaten my bolt-on LT1 at the time from a roll, but he wouldn't race me from a stop, lol.

Good Kill. Yeah I think every town has some crazy Civics running around but I would take a stock F-body over a 9-sec. Civic any day. I'm in love with V-8s, they just have that sound and power and oH OOHHHH!!!!!! Sorry guys, what were we talking about?

That was a waste of money, cuz he must have done a crappy motor swap and a crappy turbo kit if he was only putting down 250whp
