Me and my friend were goin to a local festival tonight and we were in seperate vehicals. Me in my Ex and him in his parents 2002 Honda CR-V. He had told me b4, jokingly, that he wanted to leave the same time I did cuz he wanted to race and just hang around when we got there. Well when I went to leave, couldn't find him so I just got in my truck and started to leave. He pulled up behind me while I was backing out and made sure we were goin to the festival. When we pulled up to the highway (I was behind him), he stopped and I saw him floor it.. I could tell by all the white smoke comein out the exhaust, hah. Well I did the same and was already beside him by the time we hit 50 due to the awesome torque coming off the line. But after that I just eased away from him til I got up to bout 85. Then I backed off cuz I don't wanna get too stupid. But I actually didn't expect my Ex to do that, I figured it'd keep up at best cuz that CR-V has the same amount of HP my Ex does, with FOUR cylinders! But I knew I had a lot more torque but didn't think it'd matter cuz I was prolly a ton heavier than him. Anyway, just wanted to share my expirience.

lol, I love that animation... what realism! haha...
 






yeah i have a 97 SOHC and it moves when you want it to :-)
 






my 93 sport is kinda pokey (especially with 3.27 gears) but thank to the throttle cable mod, K&N, and the 5-speed manual tranny, i have enough to bow them away in 1st and second, i just end the race at about 50mph bacuse there isnt much after that.

as for the animation, it was originaly a chevy symbol but somebody on this site photochopped it, so i saved it to my website.
 






I have the OHV with the 96 and I eat rice for dinner.
