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.

To whoever started this post, our cars will beet any civic stock v stock, execpt for the si's(at least this has been my experience). So no offence but it's prolly just your driving ability. After only two months, i wouldn't think you would be a great driver. Also, if this is one of your first races, one day u will look back and realize how bad u sucked, i do it all the time now. So just keep at it, u will get better . Also remember our cars max hp/trq is at 5600, so u want to shift right after that, right about 6, no later.
