Ricey new Cougar gets killed
In town here there is a newer Cougar with neon blue flashing headlight bulbs with a loud exhaust that thinks he is so fast. I pulled up next to him at the stoplight and looked over at him. He glanced over quickly and then looked away. I thought I would take off slow and easy since he did not seem like he wanted to race. Well, the light turns green and I start out like a normal human being and he does also. Well, as we get to about 15mph he gets all over it. So I respond by flooring it through the rest of first gear, I hit second pretty hard and glace over to see that I am pulling him real hard. By the time I was going 40, his front bumper was at my rear bumper. When I went to third gear at about 60 he was about a car and a half back! Full boost through second gear is party time in my car haha! After that I slowed quickly to 45 because I was speeding, and he does the ricer fly by. After that I did not see him cruising the rest of the night. I guess I embarassed him a little.
 Maybe next time he will know better than to mess with sleeper 4 door Civics with 10psi of T3 turbo under the hood!  |

Sounds like a nice kill but the only way to justify that story as being fair and even is if the kids was really thinking he was the shi*. Those cougars are nice looking cars but dont have much of anything under the hood, i own one and its 170 horse, no turbo unlike yours.

Since when is there a 4 door 97 Civic EX? The EX was only available in a 2 door in 97, i have one. Maybe I am mistaken. Let me know.

Ok let me get this straight, no disrespect or what ever. but you pulled on a crappy cougar less than how you pulled on a LS1 f-body in another post? maybe the cougar was fixed up alot or something.
P.S. Don't take my reply all personal or anything |

97CivicFerio,
Sounds like you have a nice setup. If you're ever in the Maryland area look me up, I'd be willing to give you a run. Just take it easy on me though  |

Thanks man. What times do you run? It appears as though you have a lot of nice mods. If I did run you I don't believe I could afford to take it easy on you though!

No idea on this setup (Much less weight, more boost, new engine, bla bla bla bla bla... ) My last setup/combination in full street trim (60 lb speaker box, Z rated tires, full tank of gas) and going straight to staging lanes after driving 70 miles was 12.9@111.37 missing 4th gear. That combination blew up in January and blew a hole through the block. Take care and congrats on your kill! -Tim |

Thanks! 12.9 with a missed gear is very good still! Good luck with your new setup!:

I'm sorry to hear about your lost 4.5psi of boost. Still ain't buying your LS1 kill, though.

Noone has to buy it. It is not going to hurt my feelings. I think it was funny really.
