My old Elantra beat a Honda Civic in a race. How is that possible?

I could hear his engine roaring and he was way behind me. I didn't add anything to my hood or anything. I thought it was pretty funny because he had the spoiler and everything and I didn't have anything. The civic was a 2010 or so by the way. It looked fairly new.

Hi so as wear takes away what was once there these days then i would suggest he was either a poor driver or his car was so worn out that he could not keep pace with the nut behind the steering wheel of the driver of the Elantra.

Cool!

Bad driving and the fact that you probably just destroyed a ricer. Civics without money under the hood are pathetic unless you are referring to the Si models.

At any speed a Civic is likely to attain, a spoiler is mostly decorative. And the Elantra is no slouch.
