lmao
I went down to my parents this weekend to use their shop to finish my stereo. My Dad is a full blown import hater. He ragged me the entire time I was there about my car and how dumb it looked and how slow and stupid civics are. I also put my new kumhos on and I wanted to make sure that my speedometer was right. So when I was on my way back up to St. Louis as I left I had him follow me in his 01 nissan frontier ext cab v6 truck. Once we were done checkin my speed he stopped in the middle of the road (back road with no traffic) i pulled up next to him and we talked a bit and then he started bashin my car and revin his truck up. i revved my a bit and he dumped his clutch and took off. So he was like 4 lengths a head and i took off and passed his *** by mid way through 2nd and i shut down at 100 in 3rd and he was way back there and his v6 was just screamin. lol when we stopped he blamed it on wheel spin lol. i then informed him that he was 4 lengths ahead of me when i took off. not a great kill but it sure shut him up about imports

Rep Power: 0 HA HA I'm gonna call BS. unless he was towing something. My dads 4cyl 01 frontier can beat a 7th gen. until he hits limiter at 100 mph.
so unless he toped out at a limiter theres no way you are gonna walk the v-6 frontier IMO especially not if he got a 4 car head start.
either way I'd have to see that on video before I'd beleive it

Rep Power: 0 I agree, especially if he was stick. All he would have to do once he saw you comming was drop a gear and punch it.
If he hates imports so much, why does he have the Nissan??

I dont think you would be pulling on a 210hp vehicle.

Rep Power: 0 Nice lil kill. About the truck thing... My friend had a 2000 Toyota Tocaoma 6 banger with 190? HP. 5 speed, 4X4 TRD edition. I would woop his *** in my stock 2000 DX hatch. Call it BS.
The tacoma truck redlines around 5000 RPM while my older civic redlined at 6800RPM, the higher RPM was the only reason I beat him, again and again.

Rep Power: 0 lex990 sounds like a fun kill, at least he won't be bagging on your car so much now. 
I shift at a little past 90 into fourth with a M5 trans (M5 = Manual 5 speed).
But yea if he had anything else besides a auto I would have said the same...unless he was running higher than stock compresion....anyways.
