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.

I have a 96 st and my bro has a 97 civic ex. Ive driven his and the whole car drives like poop compared to the celica. The handling is loose compared to the tight suspension on mine. And the clutch like pops out real quick and isnt compfortable at all.. It doesnt even feel like it pulls as good as mine. I just hate civics and celicas look and drive 100 times better.
