Too bad you didn't get his license #....if he was military, Im sure his CO (Commanding Officer) wouldn't be too happy to hear complaints about how they are conducting themselves here on our island.

Almost like this past Friday night at about 11:15. Coming home from work going westbound on H-1 past the driving range in Aiea, here comes about 10-15 Honda's, Acura's , Scion's, Toyota's doing about 80mph and cutting in and out of traffic in the process cutting each other off and almost causing 3 or 4 accidents. There was a SFP 2nd Gen IS with black rims and yellow fogs coming up hard in the fast lane before the rest of the cars came flying by. I hope this IS wasn't associated with these JACK$$$E$ Saw 1 guy pulled over by a solo bike on Kunia off ramp. The rest were taking the Campbell Industrial cut off.

REALLY??? What kind of Honda are we talking about? Stock Civic or Accord vs Stock 1IS? Modded Civic vs 1IS?

I'm pretty sure a 1IS has a "little" more power than a Honda Civic. Mods vs mods will all depend on what mods.

I believe this topic has been covered in "Stories/Racing enthusiast" forum. It might be best to ask members there/search. (It is up to the modifications done to the cars like mentioned above.) For example, I do have a friend who owns a 96 Civic with D16 turbo that eats 1IS all day.

Anyways, back to the topic.

I agree with OP and hope that ricers will stop ruining the image for car enthusiest's community.

4 banger Hondas that spanks a 1IS stock for stock? S2000 comes to mind as well as any GSR or RSX-S. Even the new SIs or manual TSXs will come down to a driver's race. Don't kid yourselves just because you drive a Lexus, stock 1IS and even 2IS 250s are slow.
