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 frown.gif

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.
