My first race with my FD
 
I was heading out to pick up my new rims with my brother when an Audi TT-S, came up beside me. I geared down to third but he wouldn't go. We eventually caught up to traffic so I put it back in 5th till we had a clearing. Again I put it in 3rd but he wouldn't go. This back and forth happened a few times without him taking off.

Finally we get another clearing and I am tired of hearing my car scream in 3rd for no reason so I put it in 4th this time. I am right around 4000 RPM and he takes off. I have twins so I know my response is pretty quick so I step on it. He jumps about 3/4 of a car length while I build boost and go through transition, and then it was all over. I caught up and blew past him pretty damn fast.

I slowed down because I wanted to try it again from third. I knew he wouldn't have got nearly the kind of lead he took had I been in third. He wouldn't catch up to me, so I eventually went on my way.

While the TT-S only has 265HP and I have nothing to brag a bout it is the only car I have come across in a year of owning my FD. All I get is idiots in civics or corollas lol.
