Tl-s 07 Vs 07/08 Civic SI

Today was on Glenoaks and a I see a civic Si. I start to down shift so he can hear my cold air intake and when the third Lanes opens I gun it and he follows.

We go to a red like and he is back of me waiting for the green so I can accelerate and give him room to go into the lane to the right of me. I have one other person is my car which weighs like 140 and I weigh 185.

We get to a red light I go into tip and and I don't even use the brake/launch at 2k rpm. I don't want to look like a fool if I launch and he doesn't green light he launches and I launch right after him he gets a jump on me but by 2nd gear I was a car length ahead of him. I heard his tires squeel and he was a car and 1/2 ahead of me so I

shut it down at 60.. I think he is done racing but the fucker just does a fly by on me so I try to catch up but by then im at like 3 k rpm on 3rd... So I cant really gun it and there is a red light ahead. There are now two lanes the one on the right is a right turn the other straight I give him room to go infront to give it another go and flash my high Beams but he just makes a right and leaves..

Got me pissed..

Also on the way back this motorcycle yellow not a harley looked sporty.. Looked fucking fast and when i was driving normal and it accelerated i was like oh shit

I thought he let me race him on a straight away.. No launching (brake/2k rpm) I stay with him He is at my hood and he aint pulling.. I felt good I kept up with a Fast bike.. Dunno how fast it is in bike standars but that shit prob does 0 - 60 in like 5.5 ?

to be honest with you I doubt that the bike was racing you. A lot of sports bikes nowadays can do 0-60 in 3-4 seconds. A R1, CBR1100EX (or something like that), Hayabusa, can do that in like 2.5 seconds.

I dunno. He looked like he was racing you know when they go into the really fast state they have to throw their body down to the bike? and cant really ride straight.. The guy seemed to be racing me... I dunno man but just look fast but is really a 5 second ish 0-60.. only had one exhaust.. if that helps.

lol i really don't know much about bikes, I just happened to read about the fastest ones yesterday. It's just that from my experience, the bikes are fast on the straight, just imagine having 100hp but only carrying 200-300lbs. But I guess there are many different kinds of bikes, and afterall you have a TL-S, may be that's why??

i doubt if he was racing u.....he probably didnt even know u was racing. if im doing 80 and a bike rides past me doing 100....ima speed back past himdoing 120....after that they take off and i will never catch them...lol

a bike pulled up next to me while i was doing 60....he slowed down and kept hitting it and letting off....hitting it and letting off.......he was staring into my 5% tints tryna figure out what i was gonna do. he noticed that i wasnt doing anything so he just took off.

bikes 0-60 varies on the type of bike. from 0-100 a bike may get the lead BUT i seen a bike give a twin turbo evo a break and 10 cars. He did not catch him...lol. then the evo and bike was doing around 130.....the bike couldnt past the evo.....

so i dont know what kinda bike u raced......it mighta been a scooter...LOL

You know there are other bikes besides R1s and Hayabusas, that only have a 250cc motor or a 500cc motor, that are probably as fast and maybe slower than a TL-S.

So... how does a ~290 hp car, you said you have an intake, that gets mid 5's 0 to 60 lose to a 196 hp car that does 0 to 60 in the 7's (you said you shut it down at 60 mph). Even with your extra person you should have beaten him.

"I launch right after him he gets a jump on me but by 2nd gear I was a car length ahead of him. I heard his tires squeel and he was a car and 1/2 ahead of me so I"


I think that's kinda confusing....did you win or not? I could think of 2 scenarios from this,

1.) Civic launched first, and was 1/2 car ahead of u, then you stepped on it and by 2nd gear, you were a car length ahead of the civic, and at that time you were going at 60mph, and so you called it a day. The result was that you won.

2.) Civic launched first, 1/2 car in front of you, you went ahead of him in 2nd gear, but somehow at this time he squealed his tires and passed you again. By then you were already 60mph, but you lost.

So...case 1 or case 2..or neither of them?

I won he launched then I launched... HE was ready for the race i didnt know he was gonna launch on green.. that is why it was so close..

He launched first I followed i caught up to him passed him around 40 at 50 his tires sqeualed and I let off the gas cuss I thought he stopped and by that time im at 60.. I let off the gas and he passes me.. I won if i kept going and I shut down at 60.. so Technically I won I was gonna do another race but He know I would rape him again..

lol crappy win but ya Next time I aint gonna stop .. but if it was between 1 or 2 i would say 1 for sure
