Got a few good runs in with this guy. He's the "Honda Fanatic, VW hater"...that has sort of been calling me out a little lately. He never said he would beat me, but said I wouldn't be able to really pull on him...I kept telling him I would...but he wouldn't race me until he said he was ready.

So I'm driving down the road early today, and about 1/4 mile ahead, I see him...turning on to the freeway. I proceed to speed up to catch him. I notice he has primered his hood, why I don't know. So I catch him on the on ramp...and he sees me...and waves me up next to him. I oblige.

Mods: His car: 91? Hatchback/D16z6(sohc vtec)/AEM CAI/Sebring Exhaust/vtec controller/dc sports header..thats all I know about.

My car: 02 Jetta Turbo/UP chip/K&N cone filter/ecs n75 race valve.

I don't expect to lose, as a matter of fact, he thinks he will stay with me...we are on the highway doing about 65mph and both go to 3rd. We both hit it...by redline in 3rd, I am 2 car lengths on him. We shut down. He comes back up..saying something, let's do it again..I say okay..you go ahead. I let him get a quick jump..and then I hit it. He's about 1/2 car ahead, and I catch him, pass him and by 4th I'm about 1 1/2 ahead.

I wasn't expecting to annilate him at these high rpms, not the k03's strong point. When I'm dying out, he's picking up...anyway. So after I beat him twice, we still follow and then pull onto another highway...I tell him to slow down and hit 2nd...he says okay. I wanted to slow to 40mph, but car's were coming up...so I was at about 50mph in 2nd about 4800rpms...not great but okay. He hits it, and I hit it...through 2nd quickly...I'm about 1 car on him already, he shifts firts, then me...and I just start walking him hard in 3rd...by 4th I am about 5 cars ahead...then shut down.

We talk, say good run or whatever...then go our separate ways. Decent kid, just needs to not hate of the 4 door sedan sooo much. ;)

Long story cliffs: Race honda fanatic 3 times..and beat him all 3 times. Not so bad from high speeds, but kill him from a lower speed roll.

Fanatic hopefully gained some respect and will stop running his mouth. :p

UPsolute/H&R/K&N...14.7@95mph...for now.

Yeah, it's not that I'm cocky, I just knew he wouldn't beat me like he thought..or hung with me or whatever. He always says, your car is a log, no real hp, Honda this, N/A that, vT3k own3Z...blah, blah...

I'm just so glad I found him, and showed him what's up. I feel better. Now I just have to shut his buddy up too...he has a B16a6?? The 160hp motor out of the new Si's in a 95 hatch with, AEM CAI/dc sports header, and is waiting until he gets his skunk ecu before he races me. So we'll see...he took me for a ride, while its quick, he would stay closer in the upper rpms' than his buddy...but I would kill him from a low rpm roll...no contest...so I'll report back when that race goes down. :eek:

Well to be honest,if that b16 hatch is done right and tuned good,it should be a really close race,cuz if he's gettin the Skunk ECU that I think he should it makes a big difference on that motor,but let us know what happens... ;)

I will for sure. He ran a 15.6@90mph as it is now...it's quick don't get me wrong...but he's running a GSR ECU right now...and no vtec controller..and stock exhaust...but it's quick. When he gets that/and with his huge weight advantage, it'll be real close...but from a torque/low end standpoint...if we race from a 2nd gear roll at 3500rpms...he won't stay with me. I know that's not a true race, but I was only implying I should beat him easy from that roll.

An actual 1/4 race will be really close. We both pulled 2.3-2.4 60' times...and I ran 14.7@95mph..and he ran 15.6@90mph...so when he gets his stuff, it'll be closer. :cool:

Alright man, good story. I always try and pay respect, and never hate on anyone I catch on the street. Of course, I will try some people, and get tried, but I never expect an easy kill. You never know what others may have. Everyone thinks that a few bolt on mods, and all of a sudden they are Ed Bergenholtz cousin' but this is a nice way to show um' up! Good job!

I wouldn't even think much of it...if he wasn't the shit talking type. His friend with the b16 is cool...if he beats me, I'll have no problem with that at all. And he won't have a problem if I beat him either...so it's cool. But this other guy just talks too much.

So I shut him up. Simple as that. I wish we would have kept going so I could just embarass him by about 10 cars or something...that would have been fun. :p
