Good Times, when my car starts...

Well today i was feeling upset because my car doesnt start up very well and it has some minor problems with it, but i was much happier when i got next to a new style prelude vtec w/ a 5 spd and low and behold i beat it...i spun my tires in first i guess he wasnt ready so i slowed only to hear that vtec switchover, he's gaining fast so i floor it in 2nd all the way and put an end to him gaining ground, shifted to 3rd and found myself well ahead of him. does this sound right, i mean i thought the vtec preludes are decently fast. i didnt see the back of his car so i didnt see the vtec sticker, but im pretty sure i head it, ive driven a civic si so i know what it sounds like. anyways just sharing my kills recently: Miata, new celica gts, eclipse gs-t automatic, jeep grand cherokee overland(260hp w/ 330 lbs of torque)...that one was close, and an integra gtr with a few mods. i dont care if its an n/a i have my fun beating sport compacts

Most cars can "keep up" with an NA but you would win in a nose to nose drag.

The TII has enough raw torque to leave them in the dust. You'll need a modded TII to beat the top prelude & integra type R.
