Could not catch up a civic!!!

Normailly I woulndt waste my gas on these cars but for whatever reason this one was lookin for a spanking. I see this civic infront of me on the next lane and I notice he slows down till I come up close and guns it so I'm thikin what the hell no way! I gun it and catch up to him an as he was turning right I was right behind his ass turning as well and tryin to gun it going around him but I couldnt! He guns it and I am behind thinking okay I should be able to catch up but still cant which then traffic got crowded and I finally catch up but which makes me wonder what the hell did this guy have??

Although I can hear that air noise so I hope he didnt use nitrous on me or something! Either that or man I can't drive or sometihin is wrong with my goat. It was very upsetting to know that this civic is probably thinkig he smoked me because we were racing at a roll or a light but I was about 2cars behind tryin to outrun him but couldnt!

I would say he had around the same amount of money under his hood as your car Cost.... ProCharger, Probably Race everything ... Thats what the V6 Fans Call Japans Finest.... But that sound was either a Turbo or a ProCharger.. My Guess would be ProCharger... You don't have to spend all that money just buy a set of Cat Back Exaust and A Air Intake.... Then you will be set for a Rematch...

Don't feel bad, I got outran by a little ricer that was sporting a T3 turbo. He didn't blow me away, sounds about like what you went through. We were keeping pace but he was SLIGHTLY pulling away and I couldn't catch him. I'm sure at top end I would've had him (I've had my car up to 163 topped out a bunch of times on the interstate) but we were on a back road going into town and I never got to see the ricer's top end. We pulled up to the light and what really hurt me was that he had 3 of his buddies in the car, one with a camera. So I'm thinking, this ricer beat me with approx. 450 to 600 extra pounds of flesh in his car and it's just me and a half tank of gas. When he told me he had a T3 I asked him what the hell is that? He said "Big ass turbo," and smiled. I didn't feel so bad afterwards. Now if I could just decide between the Maggie and the APS twin turbo (quietly laughing sinisterly).
Dustin.

that air noise was probly his large turbo.. wich makes hondas pretty strong on the highway... in the 1320 its a diff story.. however there are some mutant ones... and hey, more power to him.. there are 2 types of honda owners.. owners like him.. and owners that have aluminum wings and body kits on stock motors...
