I won my first race!!!

JSmith9136 · January 19th, 2007, 11:52 PM

okay... so sorry for bugging you guys about a 5.0L... i am totally changed as of tonight... i was leaving work, and one of my buddies that i work with has a 1999 honda civic ex 5speed... we decided we were going to race from the stopsign to the red light... its about 1/2 a mile... we pulled out of the parking lot slowly because its raining and we both floored it... i took him in second gear and i was gone in third... anyways i am ready to mod my V6 because the same guy has an acura RSX that he wants to race.

lol nice, racing while wet is not a good idea

but grats on the win!

JSmith9136 · January 19th, 2007, 11:55 PM

do you think that my stock mustang will keep up with an RSX

ByPopularDemand · January 19th, 2007, 11:56 PM

Nice kill...Im surprised you won. A car with no torque shouldnt have the traction issues you should lol...Nice kill

232stang · January 19th, 2007, 11:57 PM

umm the rsx thats a close race. i think he would win though

97Cobra · January 19th, 2007, 11:59 PM

it will be a close race. depends on the drivers.

JSmith9136 · January 20th, 2007, 12:00 AM

yeah he took me for a ride in it and its pretty quick... when the i-vtec kicks in when he puts it in second he'd be gone... but if i get a few mods ill take him i think

232stang · January 20th, 2007, 12:17 AM

i got VTEC, very tall engine coolant!
not VTAC!

Texan_Stud · January 20th, 2007, 12:21 AM

depends on if its just a RSX or a RSX Type-S (or R) the S and R will beat you probably not the regular RSX i think they are about as fast as a honda.. the type s and r will stomp you

DSEZ · January 20th, 2007, 12:26 AM

yes i know its fun to race dude...but its not smart to race in the rain...hate to see ya tag a tree.

true but the motor does kick in more power on open throttle... thats what he meant.. basically it comes down to this.. If your not on the throttle in a v-tec your not producing any power.. but they do produce "more power" at the high rpms.. but its not really more power its just using their power like any other car would at high rpms lol thats why i dont understand that its a good thing to have v-tecs.. there is no advantage they are just weak at low and high rpms

97Cobra · January 20th, 2007, 12:32 AM

they feel when the hit the powerband and they think vtec kicked in...lmao
