Default gt500

i was on the freeway coming back from Lafayette, and i came across a white and blue gt500 but this time i was in my civic not the S

i seen him coming up fairly quick, he passed but i was rolling on the throttle, eventually i was pacing him, i looked at him, he hit it and so did i, he started to pull, but i was reeling him in, shifted to 4th, he was pulling by about 2 cars, shifted to 5th, he was gone

i ended up stopping to put gas at the same place he did, we started talking and he was surprised how well i kept up, he was a nice guy, but i could see he was sort of distraught


see not all mustang owners are assholes

What mods do you have in your civic? Is it faster than your S?

why a 600hp turbo for only 280hp? Car would be significantly faster if you slapped on a proper size turbo. Get a 28rs, or even a 2871.

i had a gt28rs on it, but i recently had to replace the head, i figured if i'm spooling a little later it would be safer for the engine so i bought the 35, which i think was a mistake, at 5000 it's just reaching 12 and i shift at 6500

^^ Yeah i'd say you want a fatter powerband than 1500 rpms lol.

You probably would have pulled on him if you were spooling to 12 at like 4k

Would have been totally different with a B16 under the hood with the same mods. Nice run though
