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.

looks like you only read the first sentence in his post... did you not notice that he said "he can beat them unless they have something crazy inside...?" motor wise i presume... anyways.. GO TURBO... -Ryu and 16seconds.. i think the ex vtec is for saving gas and not for speed...LOL This post has been edited by Ryu3x16: Sep 18, 2004 - 2:35 PM -------------------- [color=#FF0000] I MISS MY RED BABY =(
