Talking Took on a Civic Si today

Okay, so here's the story.

I met this guy in a souped up red V-TEC Civic Si with black tinted headlights, tailights, black rims, some crappy sound system, and a really big fart can (the one that you can put a potato in it and blow the whole sh*t up).

He came out of the same school as me. On the way out, I was about 3 cars behind him, and I can hear his car farting out of nowhere already.

We were going in the same direction, he's in the lead of course, he sped up pretty fast, and I got a few cars in front of me. Then we got to a stop light and a pretty long strech, luckily the cars in front of me just moved out of the way, leaving me and the Civic kid in the front line.

He turned up his music and rev up his fart can, trying to look cool. I can hear his speakers were about to blow. We waited a few seconds, then when the light turned green, we both took off, I floored the gas leaving him in the dust. I saw him in the rear view mirror, he's pretty far behind, and all I heard was that fart can farting out loud, it can't stop.

Then I slowed down when I got to 60 MPH, I let him go, cause the speed limit in that area was 35, and I don't want cops chasing my ass. Hahaha...

My I4 is not so bad afterall, it's got plenty of power, and didn't hesitate at that time. I know it's not a Corvette, and I just do it for fun anyway. Haha...

I4 + V-TEC = V6?
I4 + V-TEC + Fart Can = 0 HP?

I was kinda surprised too, I thought Si's are fast. I think that gigantic pipe is what holding him back.

Either he was a really really really really bad driver, wasn't racing, or it wasn't a SI.

Hahaha... I bet he did , but when I slowed down, he tried to get away though. I think there is something wrong with that car, you know it's like something is holding it back when he accelerates.

Maybe he left the parking brake on? Hehehe...

Here have a cookie

Street racing is a in this forum. You should know better.

Note: Si aren't as fast as it seems. It's the Type Rs that are quick and we don't have them here unfortunately.
Not to mention, camry's I-4 has more torque than a Civic Si I-4.
