me vs tib v6
well was cruising the other night and some guy sits there and rides my ***. Low and behold I find it to be a black 03 tib v6 with what seems like i/e. assuming he had intake due to the aem sticker on the side of his car. Well he revs at me at the light. Im already a little annoyed because he was riding my ***.
Anyways I decide to run. All I have is I/E and a untuned vafc2. Anyways at the light I go a good launch on him and im about a car in front of him. After my 1-2 shift im about a half car in front, then the 2-3 shift and we are dead even. For some reason I would think that he would pull on me in 3rd but we stayed dead even, but then heres the great part though. I shift to fourth and put a bus length on him because he missshifts fourth... how do you misshift fourth?

Rep Power: 0 It seems by and large that the drivers of Tiburons are just horrible. I raced one once, just for fun from a stop, (I've got a 2003 Civic Si (American EX)) and the guy spun his tires through most of first, during which time I pulled on him, made a really poor shift to second and then through 3rd very very slowly started to pass me. They're heavy, slow cars.

That must have been a very nice sight to see.
