Run him on a track, not a street. I you win, great. If you lose then his car was better.

No shame in being beaten by a better car.

daleclough needs a bit bigger sig IMO. And why race the Si? What do you have to prove. If you win then he'll proly say he had a shifting problem, and even then woopdie doo you beat a civic - go you.

I'd hardly call being beaten by a Honda Civic being beaten by a "better car" A higher end Import, Domestic, or an Exotic maybe....but an econobox!?!

It's shameful to be beat by any Civic no matter what's under the hood!!!

....sounds kinda like you're doing this to impress the chick and embarass the bf.. If that is the case, you shouldn't be aiming for a girl who likes the civic over the stang to begin with

On the money, and she's been in the stang many a time lol but she seems to gravitate to ricers..and maybe i'll let that one slide. I doubt he has a turbo and nitrous, but i agree with cobrared is it really a big deal if i beat a honda civic? not so much

she's alright, but she definately has terrible taste in men's cars. If she only knew how much better she would've looked in the passenger seat of my mustang

Run him, smoke him, steal his girl.

Not to prove that Mustang > Civic, and not because she's hot. Just because he sounds like your typical, full-of-himself ricer.

It's only really worth it to race Civics and such if you can embarrass the guy in front of his girlfriend.

if you lose, your car is not as good as his, IE his is better. better car by design, no. better car because he won, yes.

why? if they put in the wrenchwork to make their cars better than how it came from the factory, theres no shame in that. any car can be better than what it is, some easier than others but all can be modified to some extent.

if i raced a civic and lost, ****ing props to him for building a badass machine. if you have the ability to take your stock 150hp beast and make enough to take on my ~450whp car, you have my respect, and if you did the work yourself and are knowledgeable, we will be in touch.

they are likely full of ****. sounds like standard ricer lingo. just the fact he called it NOS (the likelyhood of him actually running a NOS Nitrous system, as compared to NX or ZEX or whatever else, is low) shows the amount of lacking knowledge. everything sounds too good to be true, meaning its probably not. a turbo+nitrous civic si? the amount of money invested in such a setup would be insane. youre talking at least 5k for a motor that can handle that much abuse, 3-5k for the turbo kit (unless they can fab themselves), and another 500-1000$ for nitrous kit, plus likely a better tranny, and whatever else honda failed to engineer for 400+whp. a SI itself still will run 10-12k for a low mileage one. thats one awfully expensive project, after all is said and done he might as well have gotten a Terminator, ported eaton +boltons and ran equal or better times than fwd roasting the tires at half track. or hell, for that amount, a dsm in the single digits.

Did someone in the thread say Civics were better than Mustangs? That's a 3 day isn't it?

Anyways, my Cobra f'n DESTROYS those f'n new Si cars all day long. Those guys always think they are fast and they are always oh so wrong

Do not forget the third law of Mustang ownership, if a ricer says they know someone who is faster, call until you see it for yourself. That mythical car never exists and if it does, for some reason it is never running right the day YOU will see it.

Do not be worried, call him out and destroy him. Then offer his girl a ride in a real car.
