A friend of mine owns a 2002 SiR with CAI and we were discussing the pros and cons of vehicles today at work. One thing led to another and he challenged me to a race. Keep in mind that I have NEVER raced (truly raced) anyone in my life. So after work we headed out and found a semi-deserted patch of asphalt and let fly.
Two races, both rolling starts. First race started at 40kph and I downshifted to 1st and let fly, hit lift etc... I was about 6-7 car lengths ahead so I lifted off the accelerator and slowed down a little and he blew by me with a little smile. Oh yeah!!
Next one we started at just under 100kph and this time I wasn't going to give him any satisfaction of passing me without due cause. Put er in 4th and took off on him. At 160-170 I decided that was enough and slowed down to normal, he didn't gain on me at all and as far as I could tell I was still pulling away slightly as I accelerated. His VTEC didn't do anything, I thought it would give him some more punch then what I observed.
Anyway, chalk one up for the good guys, I presume that my friend and I will be discussing our observations on Monday
That's all for me on this one.
Cheers
