civics can be fast

i'm new here, and all i hear from this web site is that our 7th gen. civics are slow. thanks to some of your suggestions on the last topic on how to spend my thousand bucks, i invested in a c/a intake a apex n1 catback exhaust, and some DC headers. today i was challenged by an RSX, and it look stock to me......fact is he challenged me on the southern state highway and i took him (about 2 car lengths) with my 2k2 Hx auto. what i'm trying to say is.... CIVICS CAN BE FAST AND FURIOUS[IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]

Auto as in CVT? HXs with CVT are pretty peppy...not as quick as a manual though. Given I/H/E gives around 10hp, I don't see how it's possible to beat an RSX. Unless it wasn't racing.

CVT=Continuously Varible Transmission

There are no gears. It uses a belt to change the gear ratio...virtually an infinite number of "gears".

you sir, are a moron, for the following reasons.

you highway "race"
you have no finish line, therefore how can you know who won?
you put average motorists in grave jeopardy.
your car knowledge stems from the rice and the ridiculous.

do the world a favor and kill yourself. damn idiots...

highway racing is definitely dangerous...but at least it wasn't done on a residential road, like some of the idiots around here.

at least on the highway there aren't kids playing in the street and stuff.

racing in general is bad, but racing on a street that has houses?!?!! yikes man, that's seriously stupid.

I'm with WEEE as well...
and unless it was the persons first time driving stick and they missed a gear or something then theres no way you took an rsx... base or not.. and if it was an auto THEN you still couldnt take it... i think maybe the d00d was just messing with you
Also.. the fact that u said "fast and furious" proves that you probably know nothing about cars and have the fake idea that your car is fast because of a stupid movie

sure civics can be fast. but for 1k? unless u got a nitrous setup.. er.. no.

look sir. your car is 17-18 sec. do you have any idea how slow that is??

racing a civic is bad enough... racing a economy version civic is even more

good job. you just killed ur car by throwing on the I/H/E... your great mileage and torque just went out of the window.

How old are you? Geez. Racing on a highway....

A CVT HX. man. a freaking CVT HX.

I'm not saying they're crappy, but they weren't made to go fast what-so-ever.
