Do you think a brand new 197 HP Civic Si can beat a 914 with 3.0 6 conversion? My buddy who doesn't have a preference either way says that the civic will win hands down (he has a VW symbol tattooed on his calf too). Even if the 914-6 has 260 - 280 HP. What do you guys think?

i had a brand new mustang on my bumper the other day. he was asking for it. on my way to the local off-ramp, cruising in 5th at about ~65, slightly uphill then into a nice sweeper off-ramp with a radius that gets smaller towrds the end.
i downshifted in 4th and hit it. flying into the turn, keeping the foot down. hit a late apex on the exit and shifted in 5th. at that time, i was near redline. flew out of the turn and onto the other freeway. after that, i went back to ~65 cruising. took the guy a good mile or so to catch up. they never know what hit 'em ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Andy Ahhh...how I wished I had the same story. Now Andy, I understand you have the mighty 3.6 so results may vary. I was on the freeway the other day and I saw a new Mustang GT. His plates read "RUNS11S" Naturally I think, let's see if he really does run 11's or if he is just really proud of his GT. We were doing about 65 and I was in 4th(which is just a fuchin' sweet spot on my car) and I hit it. Problem was.....so did he. All I saw was taillights and dust. He was long gone. Evidently he does run 11's. We settled down and gave a couple of thumbs up but man was that a beat down! Looking forward to seeing your car in Moab! |

What Andy failed to indicate was that it was one of those sissy Califonia Edition Mustangs with a V6 that look just like a GT. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ...But really even new stock V8 Mustangs arent all that fast. I blow them off in my Mazdaspeed 6 from a stop with no problem. I even can get off the line quicker than a GT 500 in 1st gear -after that its curtains. |
