Civic DX vs Prelude
 

Alright, now lets start off by saying there is no way in hell I could beat a prelude in a 1/4 if the driver was good, or even ok lol

Anyways, I was coming home from playing pool on this one street where the speed limit is about 45 or something. I saw a Prelude, I decided to get smoked haha. I saw a girl in his car so I decided to race em (you know you wanna make him look stupid). So the first light we weren't the first ones in the lane, so nothing we can do here.

The next light, he wanted to smoke a dinky civic with shaved DX logo so I guess he might of thought perhaps I was a EX or something lol. So boom we take off, he got a half a length in front of me, and I'm thinkin ok I'd dead. At about 70 he up a lil slope I catch up, it was pretty obvious that his car was auto by this point because his car was in front of mine and I didn't see any chassy movement. So boom I pass him up I'm going 80 something (I'm stupid, it was just a wide 2 lane (wide enough to be 3) street and over a lil bridge.

So I'm guessin his girls is mocking him, so the next light we do the same. I still beat him in the end result, at the final light I make a left to go home and he's high beaming me obviously pissed.

I go home and smile. And wish I could say I beat someoen with skills ;( . Anyways I'm sure of couple things:

-All he had was a intake and exhaust, not cai.
-He learned how to drive 5 minutes before the lil race.
-I would of loss of this was a 1/4 mile race and he wasn't so much of a wuss.
-If it was a at least novice driver he woulda made me go home crying.

I think I got lucky, it was my first race. That was like many months ago but uhh my experience is that I use to race moto bikes thats about it at that point.

good kill man i believe you... i raced a prelude in my 1988 jeep and beat... not many people here believe me but oh well thats what the whole school was there for ;)

i love you man!

i still think perhaps if he didn't have a system (I could see the graphics on his dash) and his gf in the car, and didn't have a heart like a wuss then he would of killed me.

my car is used, and theres something a little funny about how it runs. I test drove two civics same year, one with a (non cai) filter though. the one with the filter has less power then this one. its strange..

Nice kill

Nice.

Any mods to the DX?:paranoid:

Minus resanator and dual air freshners!!

Anyways, I here Ludes are really good until they get to the top end then they slowly accelerate. Maybe he was drunk? :o

Well it all depends on what kind of lude it was. Some of hte 4th gen have a f22 with 140 hp and some 4th gen have the h23 160 hp then the 5th gen have the h22a with close to 190 hp. Your dx has around a 100 hp. So Im thinking they probably slowed down after you where so far behind them. No offense but there is no way your dx could catch and pass a 15 low 16 second car. Unless maybe it wa the 140 hp 4th gen.

good kill...:crazy:

I wish I could be proud, but myself winning agaist a Lude isn't possible :crazy:

Sooooo, there was something wrong with his driving.

nah...it could be possible that you beat the lude...It can happen...but maybe there was something wrong with his driving???:crazy:

nice race either way...:yes:

i have a 93 Dx and i've beaten a 93 prelude, and a 95 (same style) both v-tec i belive you beat him, no doubt....
