I'm driving home from work yesterday enjoying the nice weather with my windows down and all of a sudden, this obnoxious little 2006ish Civic Si goes farting past me. I didn't even bother and by the sound of things, it wasn't anything serious. He slows down and keeps trying to tempt me and I just look at him and give him a thumbs down. He punches it again in 2nd and hits 3rd, but his car looks like it's standing still.. :lol:

He's waiting for me at the red light ahead and immediately starts to talk s***! 2 teenagers with spikey hair and they're calling me a p***y. I respond to get more power and then I'll consider it next time. He starts going on and on about how he has enough power to smoke my 5-oh and how us Mustang guys think our cars are so fast and all we see is a slow Honda logo. I asked him what he thinks my car runs stock in a 1/4 miles and he had no response, just that he'll smoke me.

By this point, I'm annoyed of the little s*** and tell him to line the f*** up and let's go! Light turns green and I decided to give the little bastard the hit just to humiliate him some more, but he doesn't move an inch.. Instead, he then rolls off the line and drives off so I proceed with my normal driving. He waits for me to pull up and then starts his annoying taunting games again. I grab 2nd and clutch kit my car at about 40mph ripping the tires up to about 55mph sideways.

He no longer wants to pull up next to me. :shrug:

I know there are some quick Honda's out there, but this clearly wasn't one of them. Do these punks actually think their basically stock 4cyls stand a chance? :doh:

No matter if there are "fast" Hondas, it's STILL a HONDA. I don't get the rice mentality, but I just stopped paying attention to most import cars for this exact reason.

What does "it's still a Honda" mean? Honda doesn't make worse cars than ford, and they have a pretty amazing racing heritage...

Honda has some great Formula 1 heritage but what Fox5.0 is saying that the Mustang has 50 years of being a cool car everyone wanted to have--Honda has no heritage like that except the F&F crowd and thats only the last 15 years or so. No one I went to school with wanted to be seen in a Honda--they were for squares who chose percieved value over cool--even my 16 year old just laughs at clapped out Honda Civics

Not worth the gas or risk of ticket.

Heck I had a punk in fort worth driving an 1998 Mustang GT, He kept punching it but the old P1 4.6 wasn't moving, lol just loud.

Gotta give Honda there due. They're still top of the quality/reliability car chain and we all know with enough money and good tuning they can scream.

Honda is a different class. Lots of cars in that class he could have picked on but he should or will remember, leave the 5.0 Beasts alone.

I dunno. My friends Integra takes on Ferrari 458's and Mustang's all day long. They (Hondas) can be plenty fast if you put some time and money into them.

But then again, he works at a shop that runs a 7.49 second @189 mph Nissan GT-R.

While very true most of the JDM/KDM racers you see on the road are not anywhere close to being considered fast.

Agree. And I own a Mitsubishi Evo, so that shouldn't be in the same category as Civic's either. But it still puts down over 400 hp to all four wheels and am dying to see what kind of a time it gives to a friend who just took delivery of a 2015 Mustang GT.

A 2003 Evo VIII was my first real "competable" car. I bought that thing new and there weren't really that many parts on the market yet, but before long I was running a full array of bolt-ons and a set of 272/272 cams. AMS was the local shop of choice, not a shocker, and I definitely went around the street racing scene to see if I could get any V8s to bite. Evos are the only 4cyl I would think twice before putting my right foot down.

EVO > STI all day!

Other than the NSX or S2K, wouldn't even look at a honda

I knew a kid who wanted an Si from us, but since he was Asian, it was no surprise (majority of Asians on the road seem to be in Asian cars from my experience, and not the badass type either; good example was my ex's friends bf, who got a brand new Tsx 4banger xD)

Yeah I mean when I say JDM/KDM I mean an EG hatch on rusty steelies with a single S2000 seat that was probably stolen from a S2000:lol:

Also +1, the Evo has my heart.

If the S2000's were a bit cheaper I would have picked one up over the SLK all day, but I cant afford to have that and the GT :(

Oh my God, here we go again.....

"My sister-in-laws' nephew's step-son's friend from BFE has a 1.2 L Honda Civic with 5 gazillion HP and can run the quarter in 7 seconds flat!"

We get it people! You can literally throw $10,000 into a f'n lawnmower and make it fast.

Of course I'm preaching to the choir here, but it just...gets...so...annoying. OP, I'm glad you got the gumption to toy with the Civic a little bit. Kind of like popping a zit, isn't it?

Wow one comment. Lol

What I mean is that its a honda. It's a 4 banger. Good for gas.

When's the last time you saw an Si that was fast. Sure you can dump 20k into the car and fly 10's in the 1/4. it's still a HONDA. I give Few imports respect just due to the fan base. A bunch of kids.

F1 really? We are talking about street cars.
