Ok yall this aint no Pro
My Mom bouaght a 02 Pathfinder the one with the 240 hp and this thing halls ***. I dont care if i get introuble, for profanity, other cars would be lucky if they could smell my *** as I take off. Ive beaten coverted S13 240SX's, a uncountable amount of civis some tuned some ricers, I have also beaten alot Of VW's 1.8t, VR6, And a number of RS Sub's and one WRX Sports Wagon. Not Only can the pathfinder move it can corner like a mad Man, it has the stifffist shocks. I corneered better then a tuned 2.5RS 98 Impreza, its in the local ameuter league, it has less Horse too.

i am sorry but the person in the viper obviously doesn't know how to drive because.there is no way in hell that the civic is a faster car. the viper has much more displacment which equals tons more horsepower and torque stock. plus it's rear-wheel drive, with ALL of the transmission goodies stock we don't even know if this person has tweaked that car at all. but we do know they don't how to drive.

He was asking how fast it was and seemed really interested in owning one next. as we left we came to the infamous Huntingdon PA Redlight and idled side by side. I could hear him Revving his damn V-Tec 1.6L and was just a bit intimidated, especially with a chic next to me. I figured what the hell, I knew i would lose but slammed it anyway at green and sledded down the street past all the 12 year olds waiting for their moms. I shifted and chirped the left front tire and could hear his still streaming up to about 7800 RPM. He was about half a length in front when his tires chirped with his shift. Then some how I pulled up to his front bumper and held with him all the way into the top of 3rd gear. He backed off after we approached 85 mph.
What the hell happened? I test drove a Si and I thought the engine was much quicker than our 2.0L. Was it just his shifting that lagged him a bit or what? I could not believe it. I could hear him shifting because of his muffler and it did not sound like he clunked or anything. he was sitting in his by himself as well. Maybe if we all keep seeing awesome movies our cars will be a little quicker. If I see it again I will race a WRX

Hey man!
I go to Penn State too.
I live off Campus in Warrior's Mark which is about 20 miles west 0f University Park.
I agree with you on old people and their proteges. I think the only Vivid yellow P5 at Ryder Mazda right there in town was grabbed by a Fuddy Duddy
Anyway, send me a message or something

that viper driver wasn't giving it full throttle, cause he should have been car lengths ahead of the civic. Oh I keep on getting civic SI mixed up with the SIR. In canada the US EX is the SI and the dohc vtec is the SIR
