My CelicavsFriend Civic EX, DAMN!!!!! Options

[hs2g]

I just got back from racing my friend. He has a 98 civic EX and I was in a 97 celica convertable. I Launched at 4000RPM is that a good launch RPM? I would always get him off the line but then at the end of 2nd and 3rd he pulled on me and was about a fender ahead. Then it was like that throughout the race.

I'm piss now because I know my car could beat it. I have only been driving a manual for 2 months and he has been driving for maybe a year.

GOD VTEC CAUSED ME TOO LOOSE

I'm gonna take out the spare next time i race him. If that really matters

Any tips you guys have on me driving a little better is very appreciated.

^ Just because our car redlines at a lower rpm dosen't mean anything
Its jsut ebcause we have more stroke and less bore which is unusual for japanese cars, that gives the gt the 145lbs/ft torque, which is decent i will admit

but about the torque band, i guess your right because i have no idea how big it is on our cars, i agree, it does seem to drop off substantialy near redline
