LOL ok so My girlfriend's father is a Chev man, he always boasts about his '85 Camaro and bashes my '05 4.0L. Tonight he was in quite a drunken state when he bet me that he could beat my car in a quarter mile driving his daughter's '03 civic.

The Civic:
I believe it is just a stock 5 speed, 4cyl with some aftermake cold air intake.

The Ford:
my mustang is a 5 speed 4.0L with a KNN cold air intake, 70mm throttlebody with a Steeda spacer, Dynomax X-pipe Dual exhaust with GT stock mufflers, and it has been custom tune from SCT.

Now I bet him 100$ I feel like I have a pretty fair shot, or am I out 100$?

Your car should win without a question

But his car is really light that is the only way he would beat you if he did you have way more power then him.

 

[04sonicbluegt]

any race is a drivers race, so just get a clean launch and nail it and you should leave him sitting still....:bigthumbsup

 

[LjGamer]

you should easily win...personally i would have taken advantage and bet more then a 100...but launch good no spinning the tires and you have it in the bag

 

[b1lk1]

Not only can you beat the Civic but you can also beat that weakass 5.0L Camaro. THey were gutless, even the GT's of that year spanked them easily.

LMAO i was just about to say that...

the 305 camaros are utter turds, with engines better suited as boat anchors than powerplants.


lol...my point is that you can prove to this guy that he made the wrong choice in automobile purchases...twice.

my advice, dont even slam it off the line, just ease into it if you dont know how to launch. spinning like mad might cause you to lose, however if you ease into it then you will win outright anyway. i believe a stock civic si (if it is an si) of those years ran mid 16's. your car should run about 15 flat with your mods at least, maybe even 14's assuming a good launch. factor in an easy launch, youre lookin at 15.1ish against his 16's

go have fun and be safe.

then after you beat that stupid little civic and take his 100 bucks, go double or nothin against his camaro. practice your launches (rev the engine up to about 3K, then launch from there, easing into the throttle AS MUCH AS YOU CAN without wheelspin) and take him for another 100 bucks:bigthumbsup

 

[Oaggie]

haha ok thanks guys Ill be sure to let you know what the outcome is.

Oh on the topic of the Camaro I forgot to mention that his 85 Camaro isnt original, he totally rebuilt it with a bored out 396 so I think its like a 406 LOL It would eat me up and **** me out haha

but the Civic is going down! lol

 

[Oaggie]

LOL destroyed, 100more $$$ in my pocket haha honestly it was rape I had a few car lengths between us haha and thats with a bunch of tire spinn off the start lol

 

[BRENSTANG03]

nice kill those civics are piss slow :bigthumbsup

 

[SilverBullet07]

just curious, if you took it to the track (hopefully) what did you run?

 

[dieselmonkey]

now go buy some goodies for your car :rollgrin:

 

[Oaggie]

oh sorry no, not a track, but don't worry Im up here in Canada pretty much a Barren waste Land, there is a 1/2 mile straight away over a marsh we used, flat straight, dry, no one around. Id love to know my 1/4 time but I wont be getting that till the spring =/
