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.

I think you should just get over it and forget it. It's not you, your car or your engine, or horsepower or anything like that. With such small numbers on both sides, it's all about power delivery... numbers don't mean all that much. I personally am not too surprised... although being auto hurts you more than him. Toyota auto trannies are geared really crappily. As for Civic EX's... they have SOHC Vtec motors. 127hp 110 something ft lbs of torque. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl...
