Default vs civic

hey guys just wanted a couple opinions on a race.

i always thought it was dumb when people ask who would win a race (why not just go out and race), but now i understand why!! PRIDE

i have a buddy with a 2004 honda civic, (vp model.... but i dont think that does anything to the engine), manual, with only a cold air intake..... would i be able to beat him?

5.2 V8, 3.55s with 33 inch tires. any ideas?

Is your Ram 4 wheel drive? If so put it in 4 wheel low and just race a very short distance.
That should be enough to blow his doors off for a couple hundred feet or so.
Pick a spot that there are some landmarks like at a warehouse and you can race driveway to driveway.

I think you got a chance, i mean the CAI could only add on at the most what 10-15 hp at the very most and thats not even WHP right? lol iunno but i think you got a chance, i don't know much about trucks but i know they can go faster then most cars out there, or some cars lol

The chances of you losing to his Civic are almost non-existent.

Basically you are racing a car that is 90Hp to the wheels. Trust me you will win. If you don't you will be made fun of for the rest of your life.
