'01 Honda Civic LX (coupe - auto) vs. '91 or older Ford Taurus (sedan)

<--- Big grin! --->

'01 Honda Civic LX (coupe - automatic) performance mods:
* OBX SRI
* Custom Straight Piping 2.25
* Magnaflow Street Series Muffler
* Tien Type SS FULL Coil-over System
* Ingalls Front Camber Kit
* Ingalls Rear Camber Kit
* 17" Rims
* Kumho Ecsta 711 - 205/40/17

- (2x) 10" sub-woofers in bandpass enclosure and amp
- Spare tire

'91 or older Ford Taurus (sedan) performance mods:
* Looks stock

I'm unsure of the style but all I know that it's a '91 or older Ford Taurus sedan. Could be a GL, L, LX, or SHO. Either one.

In the freeway...

Started off racing from a two lane 45 mph turn (entrance to I-280) I was doing 80 mph and he was probably doing the same. I was 1/4 car length away from him then I had to slow down because I needed to go to his lane otherwise I would be taking an exit. LoL. From 75 mph and styll going I caught up to him then I hit 112 mph and hit the limit (stupid capped speed)! And he was doing probably the same too... I passed him probably won by 2 car lengths and saw his expression while I was driving pass him... He looked like he was taking a dump... [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG][IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Guess he couldn't believe an economy car beat him... But I gotta admit his car was pretty fast. Okay that's all... Pic below is what the car looks like, not the actual pic. Btw, his car was white.

If you were both racing, I guarantee it was not a SHO. A SHO would've smoked you like crazy. What are you doing racing old family sedans anyway?

Geez...thats not sayin much is it...at one time, i drove an 87Civic 4 door....i probably could have beaten the taurus too, just because the ole civic didn't weigh anymore than my old tricycle.
