ok, so we're driving back home north on 41 before all the construction and we're at the railroad tracks where dale mabry merges with 41 and all of a sudden we hear this civic rip 2nd gear like any normal car would rip 1st...so my buddy is driving a '89 5.0 and i lean out the window to tell the civic to get up next to us, so we both take off side by side and drop it into 3rd. well, lets just say the 5.0 was floored the entire time whhile the civic passes us, slows down and then passes us again as if we were being toyed with. unbelieveably, the civic wasn't turboed, nor supercharged. good job hondas.
