To the OP good kill. But are we really discussing a bolt on Honda getting beat by a LS1 car? It really is a no brainer especially from a roll from a dig if he couldn't drive and they only ran to 50 MPH the Honda could win but even then it would be questionable. Sorry to sound like an *** but damn this should be just people saying good kill and thats it.

Damn didnt know they revved that high, would make sense to begin 2nd gear around that speed now.

Well I think everyone is just questioning how bad I beat. I mean if some of you were there you would have saw that I absolutely murdered him by 8-10 cars NO LIE!

Well that makes a lot more sense now and your story is 100% believeable. No they are not fast. A guy who used to be my friend had an 07 SI and it was pretty damn slow in stock form.

There's probably a 8 mph trap speed difference between the cars, so pulling on him like that is understandable.

Good kill OP.

If my BONE STOCK Integra GS-R can crack 14s with 152k miles on the clock, then there is no reason RSX-Ss and new Sis can't run DEEP in the 14s. And that guy could shift the ever-living **** out of that car

Lol I've already said and agreed to a full bolt on 07 civic si being quick for what it is and prolly with a little big of spray and maybe a new tranny he could quiet possibly go as low 13.5 13.6 tho his car might not last long. It had to be a low 13.7-13.8 car because he pulled a guy at school with a 94 camaro and a 02 gt with exhaust and I was behind him both times when he did it. So you know I may have to watch my back in the near future because he might just make that lil car a lil faster. But by then I will have all of my bolt ons.

Good kill, I believe SI sucks and you beat him by 1 000 000 bus lengths. Seriously, please dont compare SI to LS1.

can we get your title changed from "Launching" to "Import Apologizer"?

mods? anyone can make this happen?

You're just jealous because my car actually looks good unlike your C5.. Can you spell outdated? They're reminding me of the C4's these days.

BTW - It ran high 13's stock
