My friend wanted to race his 2000 automatic integra vs my 2002 EX Civic manual.
In a straight drag race, I won by 3 car lengths with my fat (230lbs) friend in the car.
Should that have happened? Or can my friend not push on the gas hard enough? Anyways, maybe something is wrong with my civic because I raced another guys V6 Mustang and won.... 1999 mustang.. my car is COMPLETELY stock except for my air freshener... it takes a long time to buy performance parts at 5.15 an hour... I knew I shouldnt have quit my waiter job.. no matter how many free movies my job gives me

How long was the race? 1/8 1/4?

$5.15 / hr? i feel for ya man... you could probably make more money selling your body on the streets.

It was along the stretch of access road so im not really sure about the distance but I did get far into 3rd gear... I really dont condon doing that sort of the thing on the street but he called it and wanted to do it right then.... His car was four door is there any difference between them? As far as 5.15 ya I work for a movie theater... and they told me I have no chance for a raise. And as far as my body goes... well I dont think youv seen my body LOL

that seems right, an atuo mustang V6 is not quick at all. the V6 models can be best by a 5-speed civic. those mustangs are heavy and auto sux so yeh i can see you beating both of those cars anyday,

6.75 an hour minium wage?!?! whoa, never heard of any place more than 5.15...

well its more of a guideline to stay compettitive... but $5.15 is the federal minimum.... so thats that...

even though mustangs are heavy, they are still fast as f`ck. I'm not sure about the standard models but don't the mustang gt's have a 0-60 of like 6 seconds ?

yeah in texas it's usually 5.50 to stay competitive, rather than 5.15, which is the legal minimum. as for me, i make 0.00 per hour but my university pays me 3000 per semester, so at least i won't die of starvation
