very true. honda's slogan use to be 'honda, we make it simple.' :D

This never happens to me. I think I'm too old.

not a honda, but a chevy cobalt tried to race me... it sounded so bad with a fart can that i couldn't help but laugh

I was on my way home, a newer accord pull up next to me do the same thing. For crying out load, no I don't want to race you and your crappy car.

Today I was in my DD a 07 Prius and I pulled up next to a Black Ferrari 458. I know he was thinking "this dude wants to race" but did not want to lose to a hybrid so he backed down

I had a ups driver rev at me at the stoplight. I thought of all those packages his ppl drop off at my door and gave him a thumbs up

hondas are the only ones that want to race me

I can't believe how long this thread has gone-on for lol.

Meh, unimpressed. Dump enough money into a lawn mower and itll go like an F1 car. Reminds me of this Dbag guy I used to know when I had old my 350. The 350 was new back then, stylish, cool and very handsome. He had this 98 civic or something, he said it ran low 12's. The thing was gutted!! He had a lawn chair for the single seat, no carpet, wires hanging everywhere. What a **** box. Yes, it blew the doors off my 350, but the point is I have doors.

Honda wins in the swamp!
 

with a little imagination and money your Civic can be anything you like. :tup:

1st of all, lemme clear things up since some of you are ignorant about me and my stance on Hondas; many of you are flat out IGNORANT about Hondas. I don't wanna call you "stupid" for the sake of civil debate. Anyways, I got into the Honda/JDM scene when it was novel, esoteric....before it got "ubiquitous" or riced-out.

2nd, I caught the Honda wave right before its culmination (people building 600+ hp *on dyno* FWD Hondas pulling 9's with 140+ trap speeds) and eventual fall. This was around the late 90s. Sure, these were trailer queens that had slicks up front, stripped down its bare metal chassis, broke down after a pass, etc....But it did inspire lots of people to try to build streetable Hondas that were quick.

3rd, to say that Hondas can't have a "sleeper" status is wrong. To only claim that domestic muscle cars were the only ones designated for this, is very narrow minded. I remember, prior to the Honda/JDM craze, people used to build old school VW Beetles with their "1835 cc" motors keeping up with, if not beating, domestic V8s....Is VW not an import sleeper?...absolutely. As a matter of fact, they're the original "import craze" prior to the Honda/JDM scene. They're "cheap Porsches"...RWD, rear engine, lightweight...can be made to be really fast (if you know what you're doing).

4th, it's obvious pretty much all of you look down on the Honda thing, because it's gaudy, passé and riced out now for the most part. You just haven't come across the fast Hondas that are tastefully modded. Look at "Honda Tuning" magazine if you wanna see examples.

Lastly, I owned a 370Z. I would rather drive that than a Honda (even if it is faster in the straights)....because I'm not 20 something y.o. anymore. It's a maturity thing. My point is, Hondas (all motor, streetable) got lots of potential. You can spin it whatever way you want...But yeah, lots of immature kids drive them now, and I can understand the disdain for Honda drivers; I'm not one of these douchebags.

You don't get to get your panties in a bunch. You came in here with a street racing story about your mad tyte straight piped civic hatch that ran a blistering mid to high 13. News flash, it was still rice in 2000. :rofl2:

No need to explain yourself, dude. They're all just giving you sh!t. It is the interwebs after all.;)

i am still winning+1. :icon17:

i have 2 hondas too btw... and no it's not a maturity thing. it's more like a dd thing.

Guys, don't forget to put on your hazzards once you assume you've won the race! :D
