The Little civic that couldn't

Just driving to work one day last week this guy in an EVO VIII pulls up next to me. I'm in my business cloths all ready for an exciting day of basically doing nothing and just messing with the hot chick in the cube next to me. My window was down and he says hey I heard a BOV thats good **** man. I said thanks. He asked what i was runing and said nothign to compete with that just 9psi. Well as it happens we got a light. He says want to race? I'm thinking ok no thanks but the right foot says yes and gives a rev. I ask what he all has done. He has an exhaust, greddy BOV, Boost controller, fuel system upgrades(bigger pump/injectors)dyno tunned, and greddy turbo air filter. SO, what happens when a car is putting down probably 125+more Hp than you? you guessed it. Straight got killed like no other. As it felt like the old lady with a walker was passing me I turned onto the street of the bank I work at is on and went to work. And thus makeing me more envious of the beautiful piece of machinery that is an EVO, i will own an EVO IX in graphite grey.(only a year to go)

Hmmm I do not like mitsu cars. Evos are gross imo, but they can put out some crazy #'s.

Don't worry when the evos are stock from a roll you can hang with them and with more boost you can probably beat one. I wouldn't care if i lost to a modded evo especially with the awd

yeah like gear box said....dont feel bad about it...you knew what you were going up against and you knew you were going to lose.....atleast you knew all that before hand...it wasnt like you were expecting to win....I do that sometimes (knowing I'm going to lose) try them anyway just for fun...

for real, plus Im sure they have traction control? Thats the biggest help on a AWD drive that is that torquey. Plus LSD, torque distribution, whatever else.

If I didnt have traction control on my car, i would spin through most gears (losing most every race). It grips so hard though and snaps my neck back waaaaaaaaay more than the turbo civic.

He had a lot of advantages on you. But a stock one would be a good race.

Nice try though!
