White05EXSE · 07-19-2005

I'm sitting at a light here in knoxville, when a stock, brand new silver Tc pulls up next to me. (I've got an a/t, wheels, intake, and exhaust) I rev, he revs. Light turns green, we go. I figure he's gonna spank me. He overtakes me till about 35mph, at which point i pass him. He's still gunning it, i can hear/tell. I let off at about 60, after i top out 2nd gear, and i tap my brakes to let him know i'm lettin off, at this point i'm probably 2 lengths ahead of him. We take it back down to 40 and go again. I overtake him immeadiately, as this is my most powerful starting speed (top end of 2nd gear). Finally I turn and he goes past me.... How the fvck did I outrun a Tc?

I've got a Civic and a tC and know for a fact that my tC can spank my Civic. Maybe you're just a better driver than the tC driver was.

either that or the guy in the tC wasn't racing... lol

umm making up stories is not cool bro.

Having an Auto does make a difference, depending on gearin etc, but TC does have powa. My EL can 't beat anything..maybe another EL..lol

were you dreaming when this happend?

TiM3 · 07-19-2005

Yeah, my gf has a tC and the only reason I can beat her is b/c I have a m/t.

I would like to see a m/t Civic Si run against a m/t tC, I think that would be a good race.

Those TC's can are pretty fast...yup, he was prolly just fvking w/ you...

...look at this guy w/ his nice vic, let me just pull his leg. he he....but don't worry, soon it'll be our turn to get back at them.

lol, this reminds me of a dream I had last night... for some reason I had a mini van... and I never fiberglassed in my life... But for some reason I was bonding and fiberglassing the sliding door shut... Scary dream...

White05EXSE · 07-19-2005

.....why would i make up a story. I was surprised, that's why i was posting it. You don't think i know that a tC is faster than an EX?

I think he had an auto too..... do they make auto tc's? All I know is he looked pissed, and to the best of my knowledge he was full throttle.

I've ran my friend dan's m/t TC many a in my SI and it goes the same way everytime, he pulls bottom end (2.4L= more torque) and then I pull top end around 80mph and end up around 110 I've got 1 1/2 solid cars on him
