Watch out... the new 06 civic will be coming with the 1.8L 140hp motor. A much better starting point than the non Si 127 now. Of course that's still not SE-R 165hp... on the other hand the new Si now no longer a hatchback, has a 2.0L and 197hp and that IS more than the Spec-V's 175!?!?!?! Hmmm, Nissan better get on the ball. The honda only has 139lb-ft of torque vs. the Spec-V's 180, but I don't know if it will help.

I'll put my stock '72 up against ANY stock '72 Honda ANYDAY!!!

Well they better get on it!

There is an eclipse here it is all decked out! I may not like the car but I have to respect the guy and all the time he put into his car. He did all of it. It is so fast I raced him in my firebird once and off the line he killed me, just to add insault he hit the spray and shot blue flames out the pipes. Got to admit it was pretty cool even though he was wipping my arse!!

Yeah thats becouse you where in a fireturd

Yeah thats becouse you where in a fireturd

The name is FIREBIRD!!! You must have some sort of infatuation with me to reply to everything I say! or is it jealousy??? :devious: :devious:

jealousy??? I think not....Boredum dose strange things to peaple

i like this thread alot . Making fun of ricers. this is hilarious.

Their are a feiw fast civics around that could be hard to beat. Given the propper driving.

i doubt it. i take them out left and right with the 300e. they're my favorite. The 300e does 130mph but i would never consider it "fast". decent but not fast. i agree...fast is 150+ :knockedou

Haha... you know what's worse, is you get a bunch of people who modify Escorts and Sunfires with body-kits and rims and call themselves EXEMPT from all of rice-dom. Not happening... if the car was lame to begin with... it's still rice... even if it's only pseudo-rice.

That's why the Z will never be a traditional rice-rocket... it's always been the $^!#.

Here in Tucson we have a lot of fun, curvey roads and you NEVER see any of the rice-a-roni twits on them. They "race" only on the main, straight as a board, surface streets in town. Give a Z a couple turns and it will destroy a front drive ricer any day.

I mean, by all means, I hate Hondas, but I have a story. My step-dad's friend has a 600HP+ Corvette and was crusing along at 80 on the freeway. A little Honda Civic comes rolling up, nods at him, and they both take off, before the Corvette driver can blink, the Civic is gone. SOME people know what they're doing. I've also witnessed a Neon take out an STi.

I remember I was driving on the 3rd of July, almost 2 years ago, and this mustang full of people pulls up next to me. My Z is running like $^!#, without me knowing it was filling the 4th cylinder up full of water, so I had to feather the throttle to keep it running. The guy takes that as a sign that I want to race, so he decides to show off for the girls in his car and burns his tires from the stoplight. What he didn't see though is that there was a cop waiting at the light perpendicular to where we were, so after he shot off looking all cool, a cop comes flying up and pulls him over, gives him a ticket for speeding, racing, etc. Another one of his friends decided to chase me down in their other car, to tell me that it's my fault that he got a ticket. I laughed, because he's the dumbass, not me.

As for some rice being fast, I'd agree. My friend has a stock 93 BMW 325is, and it's fairly fast for what it is (my dad's stock 91 Laser AWD Turbo ate it for dinner), but we went out racing the ricers, and there was this integra that we were messing with. He gets up next to us at the light, and burns his crappy fwd. We take off, get about a car length away, and then the integra turns into a damned nascar, with all the noise it was making, and took off like nothing esle. The guy was just messing with us. Shamed my friend and his car, .
