It was this morning very early before work. The roads were deserted. My buddy has a 2000 Type R with only a comptech exhaust. We raced for about 4 blocks. In a nutshell, he killed me off the line and was ahead by almost a full car length. From about the first 1/2 block to the finish my car was faster but I lost by about 2-3 feet. 1 more block and I would have won.

It's very hard to launch with 200 ftlbs of torque... that's it. That's why you lost on the launch and that's what cause you to not catch him. Although the ITR is no joke... I think you should be able to take him with work on your launch. The power is there... but it can be rendered useless...
As for those Honda haters who know nothing about tuning a Honda... unless you know, don't try to act 'cool' by passing judgement. Namely shin... you're already out of your league when it comes to Honda tech, and your friend with his GSR probably can't drive for sh!t... so don't talk unless you can back things up. You only make yourself sound like an idiot assuming things. -------------------- "It's ok to be naked girl... I'm an artist!"
