My buddy just bought a car, a 1998 Honda Civic EX to be exact. The car has a 1.6L SOHC motor. The mods on it are a short ram air intake, headers, and a cheapo eBay muffler. It has a 5 speed manual. The car is decently fast, with the right driver. He drove me to the gas station to pick up some brake fluid, and was 'hot rodding' it all the way there. It got up to speed pretty fast, but nothing too impressive. I told him I would race (legally, we have a road race that my town shuts down a certain area of the main road so people can show off there cars, ect. ect.) The other day he was saying his car would smack my 1996 Mercury Mystique, with the 2.0L Zetec. My mods are a TRUE cold air intake (to be installed) and a custom cat-back exhaust. I drove him up to a local parts store and I was getting on to the interstate, and he made a comment, 'Yeah, this car can't touch my car', so I got on the gas getting on to the interstate, all he did was stop talking. Mind you, currently my car is fully stock, with an automatic transmission, but I still can get up to speed quicker than his Honda, but I don't know if I can get to the speeds he can. We just got off the phone, and he mentioned something about the race, and a wager, I told him I would have to figure something out, and for him to figure out what he would want to happen, if I lose. I'm fairly certain that my car will get his in this little race, so I'm thinking I may wager a $700 tool chest that I've had for a few years, if he can't figure out what he would want. I know he'll like that idea, since he's been looking for a cheap one, and has been asking about mine. I'm wanting to know what you all would ask for/have him put on the line for this bet? He has an air compressor setup that I could use for my sheds to keep them air ready for whenever I start doing more Car Audio installs, and car repairs. He got it for free, so I know he wouldn't care too much about getting rid of it, do you all think this would be a good demand?
Also, I'm needing to know what you all think, who may win this little race. Plus a little input on maybe getting a better run on him, just incase you all think my car doesn't have the 'balls.'
