Well in my town, a lot of ricers will tell me "I can beat a 5.0L Mustang with my [civic, neon, VW, etc...]"... Well This weekend I put two ricers in their place. The first one was a silver civic coupe (looked like a 1999 or +) with a huge "HONDA POWER" sticker on the back window and large fart pipe. He was in front of me and he floored it from a light, I was almost pushing him up to 100mph pretty easy to do too. I didn't need to really push my car to do so. I could have passed him but I didn't want to do a real "street race" side by side at those speeds.
Second ricer in a neon with fart pipe. This guy pulls next to me at a red light, wanting to pass me on the right. Nope - light turns green and I shift my car as fast as I can, keeping the neon at my rear 1/4 panel not giving him room to pass me. He was really pressing on it, because I heard his 4 hamsters go like a bastard... I let off once he got in back of me, not passing the speed limit too much.
Anyway I laughed pretty hard... Oh did I mention that I WASN'T IN MY MUSTANG! I WAS IN MY HYUNDAI ACCENT (2002 4 door GL with the 1.6L 107hp 4 banger and 5 speed). Next time some ricer tells me he can beat a 5.0L Mustang I'll ask him to race against my daily driver first. I feel like putting in a dry 50 shot of NAWWS in the Accent and go the the friday night street races (at the track) to piss off some ricers. Most of them (99%) are in the 17-20 second range. I seriously wonder what's wrong with the youth in my town. I mean to get beat by a hyundai Accent, I'd go and hide if I was them.
