I just don't understand why this little car that I brought for $1500 can beat the bumpers of every Honda Civic that trys to race me. I mean these little civics have thousands of dollars worth of upgrades and they still have trouble keeping up. Should I disconnect a spark plug wire or shift below 2000 rpm to give them a chance?

well, that car just looks like a$$ :) And they might have thousands of dollars worth of upgrades, but not under the hood. If a someone invests thousands of dollars UNDER the hood, you'd lose.

Shift below 2000 - it's safer than disconnecting a spark plug wire.

;)

I beep my horn and laugh out the windows when I see Mr. Bling standing next to his broke down POS on the side of the road. Yeah, the money he spent on spinners and a lowered suspension should have gone to upkeeping his engine.

So what you are saying is that it's OK to spend 10K on a Civic and get beaten by a Ford Escort as long as your car looks better.

Honda makes good, reliable, economical cars. It's not like they make and market the rice for them. :p

Just for the record that Ford has never broken down anywhere. :D

:beer::D

And just for the record, I've never raced anyone in my Civic. ;)

Yes, because we all buy our cars to race anyone who we pull up next to at a stoplight.

And trust me - if anyone who has half a clue spent $10K on a Civic, you'd be seeing nothing but taillights and tiresmoke in that Escort.

Damn straight. No stoplight racing for econobox crowd. Their cars are all about the twisties!
