Sorry for the length, but here goes...
I was out for a drive last night when up ahead of me i see a group of cars with one set of tail lights going faster than the others. I was curious to see what it was so i sped up. I punched it to catch up to the car so we could have alittle room to "drive" before we got to a part of the road where certain people will sit and wait to see who they can pull over and tell not to "drive". I catch up to him and i gently pass him around 70 so he could see what came up on him so fast. It was a civic hatchback, but i couldn't tell what year. It was maybe early to mid 90's
I hear him downshift to catch up and i heard the blow-off valve. He paced me for a minute around 70 as i rolled down the window and looked at him and smiled. I motioned him to hit it and he did. He was doing ok....til i stuck it into 3rd and put my foot in it. I've had my new power mods for about 3 weeks now and i still get a big smile on my face when i hit it. With the full Bassani exhaust, chip, 2.8 and Steeda cai, it sounded like all hell breaking loose next to the concrete dividers. I hit 4th and he was still fading fast. I let off around 120 and i had maybe 7-8 car lengths on him. I couldn't really tell. He caught back up and DIDN'T do a fly-by
. He just looked at me and said "jesus that thing is fast!".
We agreed to pull over and talk for a bit. He said that his car had a D16 with a turbo. It was a single cam four-banger. He said it was making about 220 at the flywheel. His car was tastfully modded. The guage cluster lighting looked like the cluster in my car. It had wheels that looked like the Euro Focus wheels, lowered and exhaust. It wasn't overdone which made it look good, i thought. His name was James and he was a pretty cool guy. He thought i had about 300hp. I told him that was the older cobras. The 03-04's came with a supercharger rated around 390hp at the flywheel but mine makes a good bit more than that now . My car dynoed 453hp and 467tq at the wheels.
