just got back from rochester, MN today and there was lots of cars that cruise down there. My friend and I cruised around and found a couple races. They took us to an old abandoned country road to race.

Race #1

Dodge Neon with exhaust. nothing to brag about.

#2

2001 5-speed Honda Accord Coupe V6 w/intake.
This one I was worried about since these come with 200hp stock. we raced to 90 and then hit the hazards. I got a car and a half lead off the launch and stayed there until 90. dead even the whole way.(won by car and a half )

#3

this was the next night and someone in a new v6 eclipse pulls up to me and says, "heard you were fast" I guess word gets around. so we went back to the same spot. he had a 5-speed and full exhaust. took him off the launch and I ended up beating him by one car.

#4

then the eclipses friend decides he wants to run me. this one I was excited for. he had a 96 Ford Mustang GT. 5-speed, only thing done was new gears. off the line, as expected, he raped me by about 2 car lengths. right when I hit third though I was gaining fast at about 85, I go into 4th and pass him pretty fast. hit the hazards. i won. sad sad sad. 3.0L v6 4-door family sedan takes down 4.6L V8 2-door sports coupe. by far the best race ive ever had.

#5, 6 and 7...nothing special...honda civic w/ exhaust, stock bmw 5251, 98 stock auto maxima. I met up with the mustang later and he told me to pop the hood cause he didnt belaive that all I had was an intake and a y-pipe. he turned out to be pretty cool though. tried to race another pimped out civic but he said, "do you think im some kind of idiot man, thats a maxima."

rochester has a lot more respect for maximas now. ps, please dont delete as racing all was on weekend

 

Nice kills

Don't overdo it in one spot though... tend to get trouble from the that way

 

Well, the accord V-6 never came with manuals until 2003, so it was an auto. And anyways, nice kills, i just got home from shattering two cars, nothing to write home about, a civic fully kitted and a 240SX...

nice kills, those mustangs are quick off the line. the accord was def. auto if it was V6. Figured the BMW would have given you a run, was it older?

 

I beat 2 civics: SI and EX both modded
A grand prix GT (Newer) by a freakin craplod
and a 94 taurus SHO 5-speed with intake and exhaust

...best of all, im bone stock (Injen arrives tomorrow)

Don't ya just love your maxima??

 

Great Kills..

MY #1 Reason _ i drive a maxima.

 

nice kills, next time take it to the track though very dangerous

 

they had manuals before '03 ...i have no idea why you guys think otherwise.

 

accord v6 did not come in stick til recently. it was either automatic, or a a 5speed 4banger. but still nice kills

 

dude, i raced a civic hatch, neon, logo's, and exhaust, your basic rice, with 4, yes thats fo people in my car, had 2 cars on him at 50, lol, them things are slower then dialup modem!

 

Nope...4cyl/5spd or 6cyl/Auto in America. IIRC, you could get a 6cyl with a 6spd in Japan a few years earlier than here.

 

Hmm.. this article might be a bit off.. but i guess it looks like Canada got 5spds for the 2001 accord ex v-6.. i read it quick though so you decide.. http://www.canadiandriver.com/testdr...1accord_ex.htm

 

Nope... don't see anywhere in that article where they claim the V6 came with a 5spd.

I've heard of people modding V6 accords (tranny swap), but I've never actually seen one.

 

oh yeah.. i missed the 4cyl part... no wonder the 150hp figure seemed fishy.

Damn Honda... the 8+ trim levels gets confusing
