Hi there. I have a 1985 240 turbocharged and intercooled wagon and I did the coolest thing the other day. I have a nice sound sysyemin my car and I was playing it fairly loudly with my windows open. I pulled up to this civic with a body kit and exhaust and started to taunt it. I cut him off then he would try to cut me off but I wouldn't let him. When we got to the next light I pulled up next to him again. This time we looked at each other and he started to rev his rice burner. I thought okay this will be interesting. When the light turned green we both went. My car was slow off the line becuase of the turbo but instantly got power at 3000rpm. I pulled beside him. He was redlining every shift but I kept on advancing. A few seconds later I was at least a car length ahead and quit.

Yeah that's really all I have to say about that. Street racers are lame. It's a pointless and dangerous hobby, not only to the 2 drivers involved, but to the other people out on the road. I mean, it's great that your Volvo beat out a piece of crap civic, but REAL RACERS DO IT AT THE TRACK. I really hope you're doing this out in the middle of nowhere so noone but you or the other guy will get hurt when something goes wrong. You never know what's gonna happen out on a public road- that's why there are speed limits and stop lights. But you probably never even thought of that, did you?

Well I would gladly take it to the tracks if my stupid city didn't close it down to make a stupid shopping mall. I agree that it is better to race at a track and I have only raced this retarded civic. I also never exceeded the speed limit and there were no stop lights for at least a mile and no cross streets. Okay!!! Did you ever stop to think that there are places without race tracks?

This summer, there was auto show in a resort beach town here (Cruisin Ocean City). All kinds of serious american ponies from the 60's and 70's. I think there were 3000 cars in town. Actually saw one guy drive only on his rear wheels for a couple yards on the road on some monster beast.

Anyway, it a great summer day: three lane city road. There were crowds of people on the side of the road cheering for people to do burns out. The light turns red. I pull up beside an 87'ish mustang in my 83 240 turbo wagon. As the light turns green, I let her ripp. The mustang leads off, and then I get into boost. I beat the guy cold. The best part is I hear 'go volvo' from the crowd.

Later that night, I lost to an Eagle talon, my boost was too high and the fuel pumps cut out, bummer.

Great to hear! I guess it must have sucked for him getting owned by a wagon.

Does this look like the car you beat? http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~attse/honduh.htm

What about the Mustang?

No the civic was much more ricey. And about the mustang. I ran out of time and couldn't finish it. The mustang I ironically beat in my civic. I was not thinking when i wrote the title. Sorry. My civic is not a rice civic with body kits and electric tape racing stripes. It's plain with just a cold air intake. I smoked a 93 5.0L mustang. It was very fun.

Holy crap, that honda page is FUNNY!! : )

And it's so true, YO!
Those things are about as quick as my 240. And it's funny to hear em scrape. How do those guys even get into the convenience store parking lots?

How? ... they can't! All the manufacturer's don't mind, of course. Pretty soon they're looking for another bumper, and some time after that, they're looking at another car, seeing how they sanded all the "frame" rails on speed bumps ...

Actually it was pretty funny seeing one of them riced Civics run into squirrel road kill.

That's into, not over like any normal car. :)

That site forgot one thing, though ... the blue headlights and clear taillights.
