lets talk in HP and TQ since im in @merica
what does this civic have done? im assuming a D16 of some sort, single cam POS. if your losing to him in a 5th gen u either cant race for shit...or your car has driveability issues (rich mixture, bad O2, low octane, only 3 cylinders, MIL code...) the list goes on.
i cant remember ever losing to a civic, ive raced low boost D series and beat them, juiced D's, full bolt on civics, including 99-00 b16a2 civic si's with bolt ons and never lost or had a problem putting them away.
lol actually i raced some dood on my commute home today in a EK body civic probably around 98, EX trim w/stick. absolutely roasted this guy, about 100 yards on him by 90, and he was still trying cause when i returned to 80 to cruise he came flying up on me. really embarassing for him, and the funny part is that he started reving at me to begin with. anyway im not "supposed" to talk about these things because its "illegal", and HAN wont host it anymore but i will so here is my vids
link again for any disbelievers.
