I have an 10AE. It was a highway run, went from about 50mph. I never even had a chance. I've seen how 430whp Civics go, and this one went just like it. I didnt hear much if any wheel spin.
The car was black, stock SI wheels. The only reason why I raced him is because when he was pacing me, I coul dhear his wastegate opening and closing. I remember thinking to myself"**** this this is sooo sweet" haha.

i'm not really the type to race because i want to keep my car completely stock, but if i was, i would get destroyed on a regular basis
I live in connecticut, so there are a lot of rich white kids who's parents bought them insane cars. Someone I know has an audi s4, brand new. My high school student lot also contains jags, benzes, plenty of sports cars, beamers, et cetera

I had "Mustang Eater" on the back so I raced alot of fast mustangs, owned. One time on 295 I raced a pack of street bikes. This **** was funny. These guys pulled up next to me and waved me goodbye. Guess what, I destroyed them all! Got up to about 175MPH. I can't wait till my new set up is done. I will be into the 10s and possibly 9s and daily driven! (race gas)

Last year I sold my R1 with PFC (13psi+), stock engine/turbos/fuel/clutch/ect, DP, Bonez high flow cat, RB Cat-Back, CAI, and PFS SMIC...
Went from a roll to 165 2x with a new C6 and had the same result both times....the dig that that 6spd got was amazing....gained about 1+ car lengths almost immediately and held that gain all the way to 165....he couldn't pull more and I couldn't reel him in...
never got a chance to race anything faster where I lived....
The night before that I crushed a 2000 Mustang GT with a few bolt ons...
Beat an LS1 with several bolt ons the week before that...but only by about 1 car length on the interstate to about 150.... twice....
I miss that R1...it had a lot of potential when I sold it..

I lost to a Prius.........someone shoot me...The light turned red up ahead so I downshifted to 3rd, let the rpm's drop to like 1500 and downshifted to 2nd, the light turns green i give it gas, im in low rpm's and this prius comes out of no where. I give it more gas but Im not picking up much speed yet and hes 2 1/2 cars on me, I took it to redline in 2nd, and 3rd, didnt catch him till 4th. By then he let off the gas. Was pretty weird. I have a stock NA FC.

I have lost 2 races in the 4 1/2 years I have had my car. I don't race very often. Probably 15-20 times since I got the car. The first loss was to a stock 02 Z06 Corvette. We raced from 20-120. He pulled ever so slightly the entire way, until he had a car length on me when we shut down at 120.
The second loss was to my friend David. He bought a 01 Mustang Cobra. We raced, and I won. He put in a new intake and exhaust. We raced and I won. He got the heads done. We raced and I won. He put on pulleys. We raced and I won. Finally, he put in a nitrous kit with a 125 shot. We raced, and he won. Then he sold the car.

Yah i was reading about the torque those prius' have. The gas engine gets like 80 something but the electric engine is at like 280 or so at 0-1200 rpm. Its pretty amazing.

On my last running setup:
Only thing i lost to a 99 Dodge Viper ACR w/intake and exhaust, by about 2.5 cars from 30-110, I was at 14psi on that dinky ebay xspower turbo shifting at 7,000rpm cause the power would drop off badly after that, at least he didnt walk me redicously.
I heard it was really cool to see that run cause you couldnt even hear the viper between the 2 FDs haha.
On that setup i beat my friends s14 Sr20 w/boltons on 12psi, my bro MR2 Turbo w/boltons on 16psi, my friends sk2 turbo 60-1, and other assortment of cars. Charger R/T, E36 M3, BMW 6-series, etc.

southernrunner schooled me on his GSX-R600....
20mph roll, he was in second... I got the jump, halfway through my 2nd, he started pulling.
Top of 3rd gear, he was about 3 or 4 buses in front of me. Heh.
And he still has never gone full throttle, yet.

well slight update, i found a couple of cars that could put up at least a fight, '06 M-B CL600 (twin turbo 5.5L V-12) put up a decent fight but still went down hard. and an 06 supercharged Saleen S281 tried me, i didn't even bother going to 1st gear and made it look like he jumped on the brakes as soon as i got the revs up to 5500-6000 rpm after which point it was really sad for him. ran into a 10 second cobra and he actually gave me a damn good run, very fun and sounded SO SWEET, but i still came out ahead
