Me vs. Odyssey (wtf?)
hah ... I know what you're thinkin ... any civic would own an odyssey... wrong.
I was driving with my gf to a mini meet that was supposed to happen tonight at the Irvine Spectrum ... if anyone knows where that is. However, no one ended up showing up. Anyway ...
yeah, I was on my way and this Odyssey keeps on flooring it red light after red light ... so I just thought I'd have some fun ...
Ok, so we are stopped at a red light and I didn't know if he was gonna race or whatever ... cuz I was thinkin ... a minivan? what an easy kill.
He floors it and I didn't launch ... or even think about it... I kinda just put it to half-throttle up to about 3500 rpms ... when ... wtf ... he's beating me! I then punch it and we're dead even until about 5500 rpms in 2nd gear ... I'm thinkin ... wtf, this guy is fast. So I eventually hit 3rd and beat him by about 1.5-2 car lengths ... then shut down at about 75 ...
hmm ... I didn't think Odyssey's were quick ... I end up lookin online and notice that the 1/4 mile for an Odyssey is 16.1 sec ...
huh ... well now I know not to underestimate those things anymore haha

Rep Power: 0 Sounds like someone needs to try and swap in an Odyssey engine into a civic! However I find it hard to believe that thing does 0-60 in 7.5.... I'd have to see that.

Rep Power: 0 Yea, the newer odysseys have 240hp mated to a 5spd auto whereas the 01 and below have 200hp mated to a 4spd auto.
I can't remember if 02 or 03 was the first year of the 240hp.....
The wife wants one so I know a little about them.
They are awesome minivans and hold their value like precious gems.
