I finally got a chance to race an SI. It wasnt from a stop but it was a race. First let me tell you whats wrong with my car. I have an intercooler leak and exhaust leak and my Super-AFC stopped working about a week ago. So my car is all sorts of ****ed up right now. I know I am running way to rich from the exhaust leak and the intercooler leak is only letting me run 4-5psi max. =[ So my car is actually slow right now compared to what it was 3 weeks ago. (if you wanna race me, race me now, hehe) Anyways,
This black civic si pulls up next to me on prince william parkway going towards woodbridge and cruising about 55-60mph. As he passes he revs and looks over. I see exhaust and thats its lowered. Couldnt had more but who knows. Being the cocky diehard racer I am I pull up next to him going about 60mph and give him a rev back. He then drops clutch, probably into 3rd cuz his engine got real loud and I dont think 2nd gear will handle 60mph in a civic. I just floor it, didnt drop and I didnt see anything but headlights after that. It was fun, he was a cool guy. As I floored it I waved byebye to him and when he caught up. No flyby like most. He simply gave me thumbs up. Cool guy, fun race...too bad the other eclipse GS that was behind trying to keep up couldnt. hehe

Cool!

Are you trying to put down SI's ?? j/k :P

2nd will handle 60mph, but its worthless cuz it wont for long, pretty much a worthless downshift, 3rd would be much better at that point

and nice kill
