Raced a Mustang with my Civic

vtechatch · 03-30-2003, 10:33 AM

This morning I pulled out of a gas station and a black 87-93 Mustang was behind me for about a mile.I could see that he had a tach and heard at least an exhaust.I turned and he followed.I caught a light at a one lane road and he came up next to me as to get in front of me.I seen him inching up and I heard him getting ready to launch.He was about 10 feet in front of me and I seen the light about to change and I started inching foward but stopped cause the light didn't change.As soon as I stopped he launched so I went and at redline in first I was at his back bumper.At redline in second I was next to him and about to pass him and he hit the brakes so he could go behind me to turn behind me.I'm just happy that he didn't get in front of me.I have a 92 Civic Hatch with a swap and some mods.

Good kill dan!

It's always fun beating a 5.0L whether or not you're driving one yourself. I've never had a car that's been able to beat a 5.0L besides my 5.0L's but then again most of my vehicles have been lame (like my Jeep

).
