Why can't anyone make an honest post on this forum without someone being an ***? We all drive the same cars. We know they are slow compared to most other cars. Just because someone tries to get the best times with the car they have there is no need to flame them. I still say 16.9 is a good time for what he's got.

18.3 is the best i could crank outta my beast. oh and even tho a auto ex is slow at the strip, its an experience ill never forget and its a blast. so id recomend taking ur car out 2 the strip cause hey who cares if its slow......it will look better than most of the rides there, that is unless theres another 7th gen present

yeah ill learn how to type. if it matters to you a lot, then ill make sure ill proof read jerk

type-r spoiler make me go fastR


if 15 and 16 second civics tick you off that bad, then why bother trying to put us down? we all know its not that great but were working our way up for better times little by little. if your gonna post, at least make sure its positive

how would you feel if i just gave you nothing but negative comments on how your civic looks? im pretty sure you wouldnt want to hear it

Anything below 18's or 17's is good.16.9 is pretty damn good for an auto with only two mods and full interior. I could do alot better if I put 14" wheels on my car.I sure if you drive a stick that isn't boosted I can keep up with or pass you.Don't hate because I am a better driver than you.Also if you don't have an automatic civic, or educated input,why the f*ck are you posting in this thread.go somewhere else.
unfortunately for you, I don't drive an auto civic. sorry.

obviously I'm posting here because I like bashing idiots

it doesn't make sense because you can't understand when you're wrong. you don't know what my question meant? that's a fairly simple question to answer. if you run slower than a 15.9 and you think that a 15.9 is pathetic, what does that make you? I don't see why you're the one calling me stupid

nope, I said I "wasn't" trying to offend you, now I am . is it working? because I'm having tons of fun with it yup, that's because it -is- a gold civic. please learn the difference or ask someone who is not color-blind.

btw ... when you edited your post about the sig ... that other member's 16.9 isn't stock. he had a catback, no cat and suspension. stock is when there are NO mods whatsoever ... including suspension and lowering tire pressure .... because low tire pressure isn't stock.

when magazines conduct 1/4 mile runs, they do not lower pressure or install stiff coilovers

I don't see why you can't understand what I'm saying. coherent statements? please tell me what it is you can't understand about them? if 15.9 = pathetic. and you are slower than 15.9 = you are slower than pathetic. very simple logic of a=b, and b=c, then a=c.

middleschool? well, if check out my age in the profile, I've already graduated and I'm older than you are. have you completed your math courses well enough?

I realize that you already said that it was the closest to yellow as you can get. I'm trying to get a rise out of you and it's working

^doubt it. thats why i thought it was pretty impressive for a stock 7thgen.
i think its possible with using the better motor oil, fluids, tire pressure, and doing it in the right climate. even gutting it would help a lot. it will still be stock because its not modded at all. your just giving it better maintiance and taking few pieces out

yeah i must admit at first u were getting me mad, then i realized just how stupid u really are. now as to ur "logic". just because i run slower then a 15.9 makes me "slower then pathetic". so according to u that makes me "****ing pathetic". not sure how my car running a slower time then urs makes me something, but so be it, at least im not the one acting like im all high and mighty and coming into other ppls threads and putting ppls down when they are happy with their accomplishments by saying that "last time I checked, 16.9 is ****ing pathetic". what does it make u feel better to know that u have a car that is actually faster then someone elses? u have to put them down to make urself feel better? and how am i wrong here? im trying to say that the guys time is good for what hes got, u come in here and make everyone hate u by showing off how big a dumbass u really are lol. ah yes, then theres ur comment about being older then me. my response that is . maybe u did graduate middleschool lol, u can do basic math. but in case u havent looked at the world, just cause ur older doesnt mean u A. have graduated middleschool and B. are smarter then others. so plz, stop acting like a dumbass and putting other ppls accomplishments down just to make urself feel better.

well, the fact that you were saying on how a 16.9 is a good time is a joke. my previous arguments were not to put people down, but to let them realize that a 16.9 is nothing to be proud of, regardless of what kind of car it is driven in.

hm, that's interesting. I don't know anyone who is as old as you or me who hasn't graduated middleschool. Nope, it doesn't mean I'm smarter than others ... but I never said that either.

Seriously guy, I didn't come to this forum to have everybody like me. I could really care less if people here like me. Most of the people on this forum are idiots and actually, the smarter people of this forum have already been banned. Not surprisingly, I've already been banned once and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again, or permanently. A good example of that would be JoeB16 aka HondaGuru aka JoeB18cR and the many aliases that he has had (because he's been banned so many times). I've been in so many flame wars and most of them have been in the street/track forum. I know most people don't like me on 7thgen because my way of thinking doesn't agree with how other people think. OH WELL. In a nutshell? I really don't give a crap what you think

oh merry christmas too

really, ur previous argument wasnt to put ppl down? even though we repeatedly stated that 16.9 is a good time for an automatic civic, and yet a few posts later u proceed to say its "pathetic". and then once again i posted that its good for an automatic civic, and then u keep on flaming how its crap. and actually, the car u drive does matter. some guy had a van with a big block in the back running 12's. 12's are fast, but hell, muscle cars with big blocks can run 9's naturally aspirated. yet everyone who saw the video of that van beating the **** out of a camaro (dont remember if it was a camaro or a trans am, thinking camaro though) was like holy **** thats fast as hell. see its all comparitive. if u have an automatic which usually runs lets say 18 flat and get it down to 16.9 that is impressive.
good to know that u dont care what i think seeing as we've never met, i wouldnt expect u to. but heres a suggestion, next time before u start arguing, make sure u dont contradict urself 10 times by the end. if u really want me to point out where and how u have just PM me so i dont have to make u look like a dumbass in front of everyone.
oh and thnx, merry xmas to u too.

good to know that u dont care what i think seeing as we've never met, i wouldnt expect u to. but heres a suggestion, next time before u start arguing, make sure u dont contradict urself 10 times by the end. if u really want me to point out where and how u have just PM me so i dont have to make u look like a dumbass in front of everyone.
oh and thnx, merry xmas to u too.
save your expletives for another forum please.

with that said, I agree 12's are fast and even much faster for a van. However, a 16.924 is not fast and by all means is not impressive, in my opinion. Dropping a flat 18 second car to a mid 15 second car is impressive, but still not something to be proud of.

Let's be frank now. In a hypothetical situation, a GSR with i/h/e pulls up next to you at a stop light. Chances are that whether you run a mid 15 or a flat 18 against him, he's not going to care what you have done and he will have beaten you anyway. In either case, a high 16 second car is not something to be proud of and may only conceive positive attention from owners of similar cars with similar modifications.

Please do post here where I have contradicted myself 10x. However, do not mistake a contradiction with an amendment with cause. Do you like the term "dumbass"? because I would like you to think up another derogatory term because it is becoming quite the redundant. Also, please refer to the "Respect" thread posted by S2000man before replying. And before you retaliate, note that you, in fact, were the one who began our (yours and mine) arguments with rash expletives, not myself.

ok lets work backwards here, u started the argument by trying to offend me by making fun of my car, so dont try to push it off on me. u should show respect for other ppls accomplishments so dont even start with me not being respectful. u contradict urself by saying that "Nope, it doesn't mean I'm smarter than others", then u say "the smarter people of this forum have already been banned. Not surprisingly, I've already been banned once" so that implies that ur one of the smarter ppl. not sure if u were going for that, but thats how it came out. then u say ur statement of 16.9 is pathetic wasnt to put ppl down but instead to make them realize its slow. yet, once again i have to state this, ppl were saying thats good for an automatic civic, no one ever said its some sort of super fast beat all time. so whats the point of saying it if not to put ppls accomplishments down? to point it out to them? i think they know its slow without have u come in and say it in harsh words. sry i exagerated a bit. u didnt contradict urself 10 times, but a few.

now onto ur gsr argument. yes, if u race a mid-high 14 second car u will lose, but it wont be as bad in the 16.9 auto civic as in the 18 flat civic. or even lets say the mid-15 civic. sure ull lose, but ull also impress the guy because u kept up pretty well. i mean whats the point of modding a car u can use this argument for anything. what if i pull up next to an NHRA top-fuel car at a stop light? he runs 4's, and lets say i have a nissan skyline that runs 10's. my cars fast as hell, but hes twice as fast as i am, so it really doesnt matter does it?

i can see from ur first statement that youre obviously missing my point. im saying that 12's are fast, but they arent all that fast. theres muscle cars that run 7's even, yet the ppl who drive these cars are impressed by this van. y? because some guy took a 20 second van and made it a 12 second car. sure this is a little more extreme then turning an 18 second civic into a 16.9 civic, but still its the same basic thing.

oh and actually yes i do like the term "dumbass". its my new favorite one for ppl i argue with.
