Being smoked by a Honda is bad ! We all are looking for more power ;) . Time and $$$ is all it takes but I usually get one but not the other :( . Chuck we C3's need to keep up with you modern guys :lol: .

Re: Hi there been a while (Gazootime)
Getting beat by a Honda, especially a Civic, is just plain terrible. It had to have had a DOHC turbocharged motor. My 2 ton '86 Crown Victoria with 150hp and 270ft-lbs@2000rpm can wax any stock or riced Civic EX, so this is strange. But then I have an excuse for losing if it actually did have something done to it, driving an '86 Crown Victoria :D If the mechanic says a Corvette is ok I will own one tomorrow.
