Default real close race!

me and a buddy of mine were out sat. night after watching the ultimate fighter! and i got a race with this guy he knows. hes got a 04 acura rsx type s 5speed with full intake and header and exhaust. we went from a 20 roll to about 65 and he stayed right beside me the whole time until the end i started to inch on him. damn that thing was stout. he said he doesn't shift until at least 8000rpms but at least i beat him!

wow.. that rsx must be about a 14 sec car. Good race tho... and ya those little motors make power way up in the power band, that 05 Honda s2000 i raced was shifting around 7500 or so.
