My CelicavsFriend Civic EX, DAMN!!!!! Options

[hs2g]

I just got back from racing my friend. He has a 98 civic EX and I was in a 97 celica convertable. I Launched at 4000RPM is that a good launch RPM? I would always get him off the line but then at the end of 2nd and 3rd he pulled on me and was about a fender ahead. Then it was like that throughout the race.

I'm piss now because I know my car could beat it. I have only been driving a manual for 2 months and he has been driving for maybe a year.

GOD VTEC CAUSED ME TOO LOOSE

I'm gonna take out the spare next time i race him. If that really matters

Any tips you guys have on me driving a little better is very appreciated.

go easy on the guy, every1 street race, no matter how much lecturing u guys do, they still gonna do it =p.

all i can say is dont race on street with intersection.
and becareful who u race with.
and learn to control the car.

but ya sharpen ur skills with the stick, learn when to shift, and learn to shift faster. experience usually beat raw power, especially if the power is so close.
