How did I lose?!!, To a 96 Civic EX Options

[YellowTwo]

Okay I seriously do not know how I lost. My car has more hp, more torque... the only thing his had was less weight. He had pretty much the same mods as me as well. This pisses me off because I've raced like 4 cars ever... and I've lost to all 4.

The only thing I can think of is that my intake was not installed correctly because I had a friend install it and it was not exactly how the directions said. I guess I'll take a look tomorrow.

I started pretty good off the line, then as soon as I got to 2nd, he flew past me! Then he won by about 2 car lengths.

Again... like Kuya said, do you know the guy. Sounds like the guy might have turbo. Your over horsed engine took the line, but once the turbo lag was gone he could fly by. I see turbo's on EX's all the time. Hell you can get them on ebay for 1000 bucks with fmic's. Insane. Then again, if he has no turbo, its goes back to the driver. Watch InitialD vol 4. lol. Make an AE85 levin take a S13.

And as for me; My buddy has an 98' EX civic and we fun race all the time. I win cause I'm a better driver. Otherwise, STOCK, the cars are just about the same.
