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.

Hmmm, my redline is 6400 rpm in my GT Auto and with th shift kit and new torque converter, I'd beat any manual GT with h/i/e...then again you don't ahve any drivetrain upgrades so you're going to be at a loss. Those VTECs man, after 4k rpm just kill. I've only lost to one non-forced-induction car in my Celi and that was an EX but before I had drivetrain upgrades. (I also don't race too many people in the Celica)

But like uppitycracker said, our cars aren't meant to go fast man. Get somethin neat like a blue subaru...
