And never forget the old adage "there's always someone faster". Assuming it's all Pep Boys bits and baubles will just get your *** handed to you.

Of course, you'd get to drive home in a Crossfire regardless the outcome, so you still win.
I highly doubt any of those civics running 11's or 12's are on street tires. Are they going to roll up on me on the street with fattys in the front? Waste of time IMO. I did finally give into a Golf 1.8t with atleast what I could tell was an exhaust,lowered, custom paint job, and a loud blowoff valve. It was on a long two lane highway onramp and I crushed him so bad he gave up. I tried waiting for him on the highway driving like going 40 mph but somehow he was going even slower not trying to catch up, LOL. I think I hurt his pride.
