OK, first of all that 5.0 wasnt even racing. That looked like the typical ricer fly-by to me. By the way I own a bolt-on GSR. I know how incredibly slow civics are compared to 5.0s. I never do a fly-by when racing domestics. I always line up with them and race them fairly and always get my ass handed to as I should. They are respectively faster cars then me. The original person who posted this is an idiot. There are plenty of 8 second street stangs prowling out there...my neighbor has one close to 9s and its NA. What if she had pulled next to him on the street. Would you still post that video...I dont think so. I always give the domestic guys a thumbs up when racing. They always beat me. I know Im not fast, I dont PRETEND to be something Im not. NO offense, but it seems like most ricers have this fasination with beating 5.0s. It always seems like they use mustangs as their racing yard stick. Almost as if they have to prove their manhood by beating a muscle car....grow up. The domestic guys don't dream of beating imports. How often do you hear a civic owner boasting and bragging about beating another civic or a gsr...You dont, theyre obsessed with beating mustangs. It's the ignorant ricers out there that make import enthusiasts like myself look bad.
actually all the time that is why we like to beat them. hell at my work everyone has mustangs and when i beat them they say i have nos or a turbo. hell i gave one guy a slight head start and he went to work and said we raced from a roll. second after a while nobody wanted to race. but as soon as i fuck up my head and syncros in my tranny. everyone wants to race. hell with a bad syncros .. every gear second is the worse i lost by four cars with a mildly modded gsr i/h/e flywheel clutch iceman etc. didnt even use the venom 400 which seems to make a difference in the low end. its all about your combo and how you set it up. by the way both cars had 90xxx plus miles. now that i have my tranny ordered he doesnt race any more.
