    Default Is there ANYTHING my car can take??

    I know my car is slow, its a 1990 civic DX sedan (92 ft/lbs torque) but can anyone think of another CAR (don't be an asshole and say a go-kart, rc car, pedestrian, squirrel etc...) that I might have a shot at beating, (my car is stock BTW)

    don't waste money on bolt-ons, not on that motor at least. That stuff doesn't make any power, swap it with B16/B18/C & it'll be kinda quick.

    Or spray a 75 shot on it

    Ok, this is probably a big loss for me but how about a 1994 BMW 318i convertible? (the car is super heavy) think I got any chance?? btw, i doubt he is a better stickshift driver than me, so that might be my only advantage. lol he says it runs 15's and its dead stock.

    you can buy my nitrous kit and say you beat me by 2 cars and i will accept defeat
    but on a realistic note... probably not unless you race another car like yours. or maybe a GEO METRO

    Well its legally my dad's car, even though he never drives it, and would have just sold it but decided to just let me have it, but he calls the shots on what does/doesn't happen to it, in this case performance mods are not going to happen. I know its gay.

    Someone raced with kids in a car. That's a good idea right there.
