TL-S vs. 5th gen Prelude!

Ok my friend at work was talking about racing and how he smoked a CL-S and how he smoked a GS400. So I told him I can give him a good run. Well work is over and it's 11:30pm, we get onto a major street (Lrpba300, Research Pkwy!). Rolling start I was killing him bad, we then approach a red. He's revving and I'm just sitting calm. It turns green and we are off, he has clutch so he beats me off the line to about 50 mph. From there I catch up and we are neck and neck. I switch to Sport Shift and go to 3 and floor it. I go to 100 and am up by at least 6 car length. I even slow down for him and still beat him. Well afterwards he gives me my respect and says "it's a four door beast!" Well as I drive off I hear this ting(like I ran over a pipe or something)! I slow down and listen.......Nothing, then I accelerate again hearing the ting! I drive home slow and haven't heard it since. I'm going to check it again in the morning, but what can this be? I've never used Sport Shift hard until tonight, can this be? I'm so worried!!!! Please help.....................

OH MAN, you did it now! You're not supposed to drop to Sportshift in speeds of excess of 60+ mph! Now you just f***ed up the frequency modulator!


Sorry evolaerok, I just had to do it--I was just talkin' B.S..
