Cool Drag Race

Yesterday, I was on Rt 1 and at a red light a sprightly Blue Honda Civic Si Coupe wanted to race.

I have been driving that stretch of road for a while, so I know there is no red light for a couple of miles and it is pretty much empty most times.

So we had the pre-drag race etiquette and then when the light turned, I was busy hitting the sports button and it smoked me at the start. But then came the turns and it was priceless when he had to slow down and I just flew past him and then never looked back. The CM is on rails and all he could do is watch my tailights and hear Chinky growl !!!!

So my record is 1 - 0 !!!! Muahahahahahah !!!

Benny Hill is the only person that gets a free pass on drag racing.

Shorter than...

the time it takes to do pop n' burble on the Alta programming, far shorter than it takes to deduce the 2011 ECU code and security (if ever ...), but likely longer than many more posts debating same?

Curious, I know it's not listed in your sig, but I thought I'd ask... it handled that well with or without the Sport Suspension?

Driving the JCW, young guns in their modded rice burners pull up to me quite often & want to race. It's tempting & annoying at the same time, but I smile(& laugh) giv'em the thumbs up & watch them putter off down the road as I swagger behind at the speed limit.
