hummm.....guess Civic's can't turn either
 
So I'm cruisin home today after work in the LX (2.3) and I roll up to a stop sign, well to my left I hear some tires bark and I see a mid 90's Honda Civic turn onto the road that leads to my house. So I'm like big whoop, so I go about my way. But this moron is driving slower then my grandparents. And he's giving me the eye the whole time in his rear-view mirror. I'm like "Yea, that's great jack-off, it's a 2.3, what do you want me to pass?" So I give it a little more gas and edge a little closer to him. So this is when he decides to show the the awesome power of his Honda:rolleyes: So he kicks it right as he goes into the first curve of a nice set of twisties. So I'm like fine genius child you wanna play, lets play. At the moment the LX sports a set of 16" rims, V-8 spec springs, a home-made strut tower brace, and the front sway bar from my GT, so it handles pretty good. Anyway, Honda boy here has got the little civic rolling pretty good, about 80 or so and he seems to be agravated that he can't shake me. About this time he enters a hard sweeping left hander and damn does that thing get out of shape. It's understeering badly as he goes into the other lane to take the corner, meanwhile I'm happily following, in my lane, with one arm out the window. I knew the road I turn off on was coming up, it a nice HARD right where the road splits. So I see Honda boy start to take it, I glance at my speedo it's past the 85 mark somewhere around 90.......oh this is gonna be funny Boom, he get's MASSIVE understeer. I can hear his tires squeeling from my car, and for a second I though it was gonna go off the road and through a field, but at yanked it back hard right back onto the main road. As I blast through the corner I see him slide to a halt and put it in reverse.......loser. I guess Civics can't turn either.

Hmmm :)

Reminds me, last night, this band of little girls in a Civic coupe kept messing with me while I was cruising in the GT. I usually set the cruise on the hwy at about 65-70 (speed limit = 55mph) and these girls are trying to show off or something. We happened to be going the same way for about 5 miles or so and she wants to show me and her little friends how terribly fast her little civic is. Every light we hit, they'd come zooming pass me. Then we got out on a long stretch of road. I just set the cruise to 80 and ignored them. You could tell the civic was struggling. Pathetic waste of time.. :rolleyes: I didn't even bother playing the game....
