At test n' tune one wednesday night last spring, when last civic was stock, i had the misfortune of lining up with a high 7 second dragster... he was done with his run 3 seconds before i even hit the 1/8th mile. that was a lopsided race...

I got raped by a Ducati, I was just fun to see him go. He would accelerate to about 2 carlengths ahead of me, the slow down so he was right next to me...look over...smile....and accelerate again, all the while, I was at full throttle. It was VERY amusing.

on the track a 10.9 sec supra this was my first time on the track too .... =P

on the street,(hehe), i would have to say i was in albany and going on a study break, went to dunkin donuts and some guy in an Omni pulled up next to me.... i thought quick kill... turns out he really was a Dodge Omni Shelby GLH-T.
I would estimate he was a 14 second car on the street.... ive also been passed by an aquaintence of delio's in poughkeepsie that had the Dodge Spirit RT ( the 80's one ) i think he said he was running 12lbs of boost.

ON street and strip i have been rapped by my cousins 11 sec Supra. Needless to say, he decide to kick my *** again with his Lightning. Grrrrr... he figured since he blew me out of the water with his Supra he would *toy* with me in his Lightning. Bastard!

Supra Twin Turbo, He didn't know how to drive and managed messing something up in his car... and I beat him. he ran a 22, I bet none of you guys ever beat a Supra.

I got smoked by a Porsche 911. Sad thing is that I don't even think he knew I was trying to race him.

The fastest car I've run against is a late 70's Camaro with the supercharger and dual carbs sticking out of the hood. I got spanked cuz he ran a 9.9 @ 150+.

Reminds me...

I saw this plain old green Integra creepin' around Capitol's test and tune last summer, the Supra guy he was going up aginst was kinda clowning him in the staging lanes UNTIL..........lets just say, the Integra crossed the line first with a 10.3+/- and the Supra, well...*cough*13's*cough*! Embarrassing!!

best and worst

Best for me was beating an S4, 3.2TL
The worst, I raced a Boxter, well, it's not the most powerful thing out there, but I was picking up dust after him, it was fun though. He was nice enough to give me a thumb up.

The fastest car I've ever raced on the street would have to be a new M3 or a Z8. Track would be a drag Mustang and a Drag bike They were brothers and really wanted to race me. I was at a 1/8mi track, and the bike gave me almost a half a track handicap and he still crossed the line next to me

Just as I approached my on-ramp, I saw a Porsche 911 come up behind me. I nailed the accelerator, and drifted around the corner *perfectly*. I smugly sped down the ramp at WOT, stirring the shifter vigorously and repeatedly. Wa-Hoooo!

I glanced in my rearview mirror to quantify my victory, but the 911 was no where to be seen. And at *exactly* the same instant, the 911 zipped past like a rocket, nearly running me off the road in the process. In a few seconds, this 911 was just a speck on the horizon. Pursuit, as you know, was TOTALLY out of the question!

That was a very humbling experience, indeed... OUCH! :-)
