Ranger vs. Civic

I dont know if anyone cares but a couple of hours ago when I was out getting some supper a little honda civic pulled up to me at the light and revved his little 1.8 L motor. Well i returned the favor gave him the big 2.3L straight pipe grrrooowwlll. Anyhow the light went to green I can belive it but I blistered that little honda pulled him by half a length through 3rd. Mud tires and all. Just thought it was cool that a slightly modded 2.3 with 33 inch mud tires could even keep up much less outrun a civic.

The 2.3 gets respect once again. I've gotten some good take offs myself and took some cars by surprise.

Well, who said the Civic was really that powerful. They are quick, but that is mostly because they are lightweight. The fart cans actually make them slower too. Totally kills any torque they had.

Honda engines aren't noted for thier lowend torque, all thier power comes high in the rpm range. Still a good kill with your big tires.
