New Civic SI

I saw civic SI at an intersection and changed my gear to L. Anyway, we launched and I had slight chirp and he didnt have any. By end of 1st, I had foot lead.

He didn't dump his clutch so I'd say he has potential. Anyway, I cut it off right after 1st gear and he continued, swirving around traffic. He was going for about 60MPH in 35MPH zone already. I SS'ed and floored, got right back of his ass within no time. I'd say there was no chance he was gonna run away from me at that point @ 60MPH. anyway, I cut it off because we were already at twice the speed limit.

they tend to be quick off the line, seeing as they are the size of a go-cart. at highway (and illegal highway) speeds, they will be owned seeing as they only make ~200hp. Wind resistance takes precedent over the light weight.

stock for stock, we are supposed to beat them(7secs to 60mph if my memory serves me right). but then in the twisties...that's where they'll make up the lost ground and then some.
