Minivan pulls hard on Vtec Accord. (WAY hard!) lol!

[BARRON]

We had lunch at a local resturant after church. My cousin ate lunch with Mom n' Dad,my aunt and me. He had 4 guys with him because they were headed for service at a local town that afternoon. ANYWAYS..

We all leave and across the parking lot I yell, "Come on Rob lets go!" he yells back "ALL RIGHT LETS GO!" He has a late model Accord.. black and chrome,VERY sharp looking car for sure! We pull out on the main drag, NO traffic in sight, we kinda roll away and I see the guys all looking out the back window,so around 40mph, I floor it.


I start pulling on his bumper like mad for a split second, then I see my advance slow down a but.. but not much, after a couple seconds I roll by at a comfortable speed,in my suit and tie, waving. His passanger behind him has the BIGGEST grin on his face and waving..cause I just wasted his Civic EX a few weeks back..so he knows. My cousin is just watching the van drive past.. the look on his face..oh its priceless.. kind of a blank,droped jaw look of unbelief.. LOL!

So by about 105mph I let off and apply brakes.. he is well over 3 carlengths behind. After this I think he was a bit agrivated cause he was glued to my bumper for a while. The next long stretch of road I see him swing out.. caught me off guard.. I floor it.. I THINK he was starting to pull a bit, were were about 70mph when a car appears up the road.. and the lets off and tucks in behind me pretty quick..so obliously he was still less than 1/2 way past me.

As we come to a 4 way turnoff and he pulls to the left onto a turnoff lane.. I slow, and they pull aside. Laughs and waves all around. Thats what its all about... havin a real HOOT! The guy in the front passangers seat had a wierd grin on his face. He has a bright orange 04-05 Looks EXACTLY like a GT, but its a V6 job. .. Maybe he is next?

89 Mini, 2.5L, Garrett T1,stock boost and exhaust one bench seat.. and a really nervous aunt!! LOL!

[BARRON]

I'll see if I can get the other side of the story tonight. I'll have to go ask...not like someone is gonna come over to you and brag how your MINIVAN beat them.

DUH!

[mcsvt]

The mini strikes again

[BARRON]

Basically I got... I didn't see you comming e.t.c. Someone said, "Here he comes!.. and there you went!"

But thats ok. My cuz is cool. I said.. yah.. I'll give you another chance.. I know it wasnt fair.. because I won... and you had 3 guys with you.

The guys in the vehicle told a different story. I was talking to my cousin whos civic I beat. Man he thought that was SOO awesome! Another guy was laughing and yelled YOU HAD A HEMI IN THAT THING TODAY didnt you?!! HAHA!! Mustang guy was laughing about it too..but said that I slingshot him bad. ?????? ..

Oh well.. having a rusty old minivan passing you, has to hurt. I can be kind and not be a jerk.

Curious, how new accord? difference between best of the last gen and best of the new gen is almost 10mph trap stock for stock, so makes a difference. i think i know, looking at your mods, but hoping to be wrong

Good kill.

[BARRON]

I found out his car is an 03' or newer. They had 160hp. Data on a 2003 2.3L Vtec says: 2003 Honda Accord Sedan (I-4) 0-60 8.0sec, 1/4 mile 16.0sec. I dont know if that is specs for an auto or the manual.

Anyways.. the first time I pulled past him nicely. The time he tried to pass at about 60mph he was barely creaping up on me. I am non-intercooled too.


Next time will be different.. I'll BEAT HIM WORSE!

[Vigo]

haha no doubt! you're so close to stock that your first couple mods are gonna be big improvements. thanks for the info.
