Chalk up another one for the "grandpa car."
Lined up at a red light on Highway 252. Beside me is this little guy in a riced* out Civic EX coupe. This thing had it all. The Altezza's, white painted wheels, wheel well rubbing lowering, fart can and the picnic table wing. Not too many stickers though, so he wasn't packing as much hp as he could.
He sees me checking out his car and decides to blip the throttle and creep forward. Not too bad sounding actually, a lot better than some of those other coffee cans. I wasn't really in the mood for a race, but I though "All right..."
Light turns green and he floors it. I do the same, with TC off and in first and jump to a quick 1/2 length lead. Surprisingly he pulled to the mirros before the shift, but after that it was over. The LHS pulled away and kept pulling till 75 when I was about 3-4 lengths ahead.
Of course he did the fly by with the finger in the air. Why do most of them do that?
Footnote: For all you kids on here who take offence to that term, too bad. It is a widley recognized term, and I'll use it as my discretion dictates.
PS For all you thinking "When is he gonna get smoked?" here is your answer. I'm smart enough to know not ot pick on or attempt to race cars more powerful than I am.
