Default Some guy in a honda just tried to take me

I mean wtf was he thinking?!? I was'nt trying to race but I dunno I got a bit pissed that he would even try. Of course I out pulled for a distance till I had to turn but I wonder why they just have a go anyway. Its certainly no manly thing to beat a honda (one thats not modded anyway!) but if I saw a nice looking 2 seater and Im driving a honda I would'nt even dare, people are just F*** weird

Accord coupes are the worst. They should be doing what I do when I pull next to WS6, SS or Z06. Look straight ahead and don't provoke.

Nothing wrong with Hondas, its the ghetto @ss thug wana be kids who think their Vin Diesel in The Fast and The Furious. It's hard not to roll your eyes at every Honda with a fart can and a bad exhaust. Some of them are pretty respectable. I'm guessing quite a few Z owners here were past Honda owners. Alot of them pretty fast. I'm still looking for a Z to see how mine stacks up.

It's all in in the number of stickers it has... particularly "Type R"

Yep, I still have an '85 Accord, and looking for a '93 for beater, classic clean bodystyle. I've always liked Hondas, civic hatchbacks are fast *****, and they can get heavy gains at a relatively low cost, which makes them a people's car. In fact, I was going to buy an RSX Type S, but when I saw the Z, it was love at first sight...

Default Just a thought

I drive a honda w/ a "fart can" when I'm not in my Z and I have pulled up next to some nice cars, Vipers, Z06's etc. and given them a little rev.

Hold your wad before you start flaming.

I'm not looking to race and I sure as hell don't think I could ever beat such a car. I just want them to let me hear the engine roar or watch them put the power down off the line.

I like nice cars and I like to see them in action. That "weird" honda drive might just want to enjoy the Z in action.

I'm with Loutish on this one....

the guy obviously holds your car in high regard.... you should take it as a compliment.... when people do that to me, I give them the hang loose sign and they smile back...

Word...

A person wouldn't challenge you if they didn't think your car was interesting. Unless of course they want to humiliate whoevers on the road...but I doubt that Honda Driver had that in mind.

Haha, I just had some guy in a new eclipse try and take me. Maybe he was mad cause his girl was smiling at me. I'll admit, he got about half a car ahead of my by the time I got to around 50. But.. Uh, I'm driving a stock automatic Blazer, LMOA... At least he was making more noise than me...

Those '85 Accords are pretty sweet rides! I agree that there is nothing wrong with Hondas.. I never thought I'd own one but I got my Accord for free and it has been great - 140,000 miles and almost 20 years old and runs flawlessly! I'm tempted to attempt a K20 or H22 swap and turn the Accord into a real sleeper!

I think I'm gonna change insurance and put both of them on it, cause the friend that was supposed to keep it is stalling. Mine was complaining a bit after 170k, but everything's been taken care of except carb. What the heck, I was gonna miss it anyway, so I might use it for awhile before it's gone.

It's true my friend has one and if your not paying attention or miss a gear you might be dissappointed in the end. He didnt beat me but I was surprised never the less.

I used to drive a Honda before my Z, no stickers, no wing, no neons, but it did have a T3/T04e turbocharger and when i beat Corvettes, they didn't laugh. Not all Hondas are slow and ricey. But now i drive a Z and it may not be as fast but its wayyyyy nicer.
