Default V8 vs my '00 dx

well I was coming home from work tonight at about 10:00 PM and a lady in one of these,
http://www.edmunds.com/used/2002/lan...129/specs.html
shoots off of the line, so I let her do her thing. I met her at another light down the road and looked
over to see if she was for real, she looked back over at me as she is enjoying her music (bobbing to the beat).
she leaves the light at normal speed, same for me. we get to about 60mph riding next to each other, I hear her gun it and I was at the bottom of third so I stomped the gas and we were neck and neck til about 90mph. At 90mph I slowed down. The next light I pull up next to her, this is the last stretch before my apt...so I said *uck it Imma see what happens. the light turns green, I dropped the clutch and beat her to 40mph. she started pulling on me about 50mph, I shifted to third and we were neck and neck from 60-90mph...I threw her a shocker and was on my way, but I couldn't believe that my little 4 banger kept with this beast...I [sm=smiley27.gif] my Honda

sorry for the long read

Im not suprized. 5k pounds, 220 Hp, say your car is 2500 Pounds then if your car has 110 Hp, You should be able to keep up. Roughly ofcourse, You have to think about gear ratio, and Tourque. You know. Good race though
