Usually when someone is on my butt like that it is usually someone trying to prove something that is not necessary. I simply pull to the side and wave them by, the look on their faces are usually priceless because you let there chance of messing with you end, especially when that is there soul purpose.

Accord V6 is surprisingly quick. My gf has the new V6 coupe and it hauls a$$. But even so, it shouldn't be able to keep up with the Z whether it's straight line or track. I floored the Accord and it was quick but not as quick as the Z. Maybe it's drivers mod

Oh and IBTL

How is this possible? the Accord is listed at 278hp so I have at least 70hp on him plus the high flow cats and CAI .
What gives??? Are my mods slowing me down without a tune ??

Please keep such driving off of public roads and off this forum.

That type of driving belongs on a track not on public roads where you're putting others at risk; and it doesn't matter whether you thought there was almost no traffic. There's no traffic until there's traffic and you're head on colliding with it. Secondly, the Z is at home on just about any track where an Accord is at home at home depot picking out light fixtures and laminate floor samples.

There is always someone in a fart canned civic that thinks they are in a corvette next to me ,they rev and take off leaving me in their dust. I know what I have and have nothing to prove ,I actually enjoy driving relaxed most of the time. Insurance is way too expensive and my livelihood is my commercial hazmat license.

You know sometimes all it takes is just one time to ruin your or someone else's life.

Always drive responsibly it's not a right it's a privilege.
