Default It felt like a running of the special Olympics...

Coming back from the bank today and what pulls out in front of the DD? A ricer. A white Honda Civic hatchback with a carbon fiber hatch/spoiler wing (like the Focus) a HUGE fartcan that spews noise every time he even touches the gas, lowered like 6 inches lol, and some red rear trailing arm. Something inside me says, "Get 'em" I look and these two jokers must be from the icyhotstuntaz like seriously. Follow them about a 2 miles on a 2 lane road until it opens up to 6 lanes, then I blow by them hoping never to hear the behind of that fartcan again. Well, we're in luck b/c we both are first in line at a red light. They're laughing, pointing and revving that weedeater to the sky when the light turns green.

I let them have the initial hit b/c what the hey, they're in a Honda- I roll into the throttle and I'm right there with'em. Shift into second and I only pulled a car, third and another car or 2. By this point I am thoroughly surprised that they are only 3 cars back, but it's 80 and things could've gotten worse so I stop. It really felt like a running of the special Olympics, Man I need to mod this DD.

My 91 MR2 turbo ran 8.8@82mph I believe with gutted cat, 17psi, apexi intake, and TRD shifter. It wasn't fast but it wasn't slow. I could take care of 350Z's easily.

Hmmm...that is just a small bit slower than mah LT1 and possibly the same MPH. I want to mod it, but when I think that I could put nitrous, heads/cam on the T/A I get a little gunshy.
