    Default When will people learn it's a CIVIC

    This has to be the funniest thing that has ever happened to me on the road.

    I was coming home late from work so the streets were fairly empty (3am). This little fag in a souped up (read: riced out) civic is riding my ass for three blocks or so when there is a whole other lane to his left he can pass me with. Anyways I stop at the light and he rolls down his window and glares at me. I kinda chuckle at this moron with his hat on lock and shitty rap tunes blaring. So I roll down my window so he can see that I am laughing at him. He proceeds to rev up his engine and make some loud farting noise out of his useless 4 inch pipe...which makes me laugh harder.

    So I turn twards the light and it goes green I give it some gas and let fly. I don't see the kid behind me so I check out my rear view and the kid is stalled out at the light. I almost pissed my pants when I saw him.

    So about three or four lights up he is beside me again and I am thinking this kid probably wants nothing to do with me now since he just embarrassed the shit out of himself. But to my surprise he starts reving again. I go "ok" and give him a little head start off the line then punch it and blow by him within 60 feet, and I was only doing 60-70kmh. I couldn't blive this kid.

    The kicker is I was in my Hyundai Sonata which isn't exactly a sports sedan by any means (170 HP / 181 ftlbs V6)

    Sometimes I wish I had a bag of rice in my car so that when I see these fucktards I can give them a nice rice shower like at a wedding...that will make them feel even more special than when they were in that special class.

    Used to be semi-ricer but a few V6s taught me 4 bangers are uber ghey unless you put mad money into it.

    They'll learn in time.

    I wouldnt say that. Dozens of 4 cylinder engines have been extremely successful in racing series. Its the v6 that was made for the mass market every day driver.

    LMAO.

    I'd guess about 99% of 4 cyl. Civics are slower than pretty much any V6. And I'd also guess that about 20%-30% of Civic owners actually know this...or it seems that way. Not sure why they all figure they own road rockets.

    But try not to forget there are some 4 cyl. Civics that can run 12's in the 1/4...so you just never know...

    Any car can be made to be fast.

    The funny part of your story is the stalling and then wanting to go again. Not really the cars involved since they both blow goats.

    Your Sonata isn't exactly anything to be proud of.

    If a talon was half as reliable as a civic most people would have those too.

    I own both, the 6 is way better for highway cruising but nothing beats coming around a corner dropping a gear and riding the redline.

    But that doesn't change the fact that 4 cyls can be just as good and sometimes better. It doesn't cost bags of cash to get one going quick.
