Tonite i had a fucking range rover and 3 kids in a Nova sr trying to race me, WTF!?!

nova was funny, had a big gay f&f spoiler and er, thats it actully came up behind me on this dual carrigeway at about 70mph ( outside a hospital, 30 zone ). We get a bit futher down the road, back to single carrigway and i wasnt really trying, he spots a break in the oncoming traffic and tries to pass me so i just dropped a gear and left him and his 2 mates looking very silly on the wrong side of the road overtaking nothing

the range rover, didnt realise he was trying till i drove around him on the outside of a bend and he started sitting on my arse, fucking prick. lost him pretty quick tho on 3 roundabouts

wish id gone to trax now

well your puting a 2.0 engine int oa light litle car and the hondas are heavyish and a smaller engine but i think the gearing on handa will make it a colse call.

note so sure.

Define out-do?

if your refering to its handling then sticking some huge disks and calipers on a 2ltr 16v corsa, along with a set of coilovers, and it will probably be a match round the bends for the Honda, but im thinking the Honda would have a slight edge on the straights.

Not too sure on the torque figures of the Honda tho? How quickly it launches/gets moving? Corsa could have a better acceleration?

ok u got me, its a red top

The civic manages 160 from a 1.6 as it has some clever vtec stuff, dunno how it works exactly, but it revs to about 8000 rpm. Ur dads accord is built for cruising motorways etc
