Well, i see chromies on this little civic coupe. It's the heavier model (EX trim) and the guy says it's a B16A (pretty common)...To my understanding, a B16A powered EG should be in the 14s. He's really trying to get me to race. I'm hesistant at first since it's a bad cop area. The speed is 35mph and I'm doing 50mph and he's trying to push his little civic hard. We come up to a red light and i got the right lane, he's got the middle. He pops his hood and does something to his motor (his intake made an odd sound i never heard of; no, not turbo...maybe JRSC?). The light turns green and he pulls at first, until the needle sweeps by 4000rpm i pull on him and shift at redline, his front bumper is at my door. The needle sweeps past 4000rpm again and the max pulls hard, he's at my rear bumper, I shift into third and pull two cars on him almost immediately and i pull in front of him and then into the left lane, flicker my hazards on a few times to announce his defeat by a family car.

He flies by me like typical sore losers while i brake to slow to the speed limit. He gets about half a mile before pulling over and he sticks his hand out, showing four fingers (indicating his 4 cylinder)... i was tempted to stop and show him the weight of the maxima compared to his 2500-2700lb EG. but, i had places to go.

I don't feel great about beating a lesser car with a lesser engine, i just felt the need to share. Now, when i beat a v6 Mustang or v6 Camaro... god will i be throwing flames at that guy.

He is lying. a b16 powered honda is pretty quick, if he had one and had mods he might be able to beat you. I said he might. I hate civics anyway.
Did he point out the four fingers to show you that four beat a six? I hate when you kill a cra in a race and when you slow down they race by and act like they one. Society these days. People just cant let go.
