Got picked on...
Well im comming home from a kickback and i am minding my own bussiness. I stop at a stop light and this white grandprix GT pulls up next to me... he stops then goes up a little bit, hinting to me he wants a peice of me... so i say sure... (it just rained like 2:30 hours before this) well the light turns green and i floor it... i get a good start, since i have 225 tread, and i am spinning my tires still(i have a auto) i look in my mirror and he isn't going anywhere, he is spinning his rear tires, dum ***, well as i am spinning i hit v-tec and it kicks in nasty ever since i got my v-afc put in... it slowly climbs then once i hit v-tc, bamp, its like i have a turbo all the way to red line. so i get traction and go, he stays behind me the whole time... i stay in front untill 60mph and slow down, he gives me a flyby. this whole time a green intrepid is behind me, and pulls up next to me and paces me for a sec. i floor it and it slowly goes up to my preset 4800 v-tec point, and i stay with him, as we come up to a intersection this car come right infront of me so i slow down very quiclk, and the intrepid puts on his emergency lights like he won me. i was like WTF, but i had to get on the freeway...
ever since i got my v-afc, my car gots some big *****, before my v-tec was shitty, now it pulls nasty

It won't make you as fast a DOHC VTEC, but the VTEC will engage like a DOHC. Actually it kicks in harder then a stock SI, or a nearly stock SI.
The reason being though, is the car is being starved for air, so when the cam changes over you get a n ice boost in horsepower. Basically that means that your car is atcually slower, because before VTEC it's being starved and so it loses power, but once it hits VTEC it's making just a smuch horsepower as it did before.

so far no problems with the pontiac, and ive heard that some of the problems that doo happen with the pontiacs are small and not large problems, ive had more problems with my civic than my pontiac.. plus 2003 is the last year that they are making it in this style so hopefully all the bugs are worked out and it will be a pleasure having this car..

Rep Power: 0 well, i dont know about ANY civic. my friends 97 ex 5-speed with i/h/e beat some kid in a newer gtp and he had a good 2-3 car lead on him. ya they r fast but im sure there is quite a few civics that could run with those things. those gtps might have huge engines but they are pretty heavy.

Rep Power: 404 well as i said i raced a mid 90's grand prix, and the slower ones are like 170, dam, and it is heavy, i never said i raced a brand new supercharged GTI, f**k, and f**k you about my grammer
ive raced a integra type r with a jackson racing supercharger and it burned it, and the driver is hella good. i dont think a civic with intake header and exhaust could touch the new GTP, the person that got beat in their gtp must have sucked at driving it... and yea they are heavy but they have a good weight to power ratio.

on you. My boyfriend has a GTP and is one of the founding members of ClubGP so I know a thing or two here. Stock, GTs can get upper 15s to low 16s. Nothing against our cars but even the more modified ones just barely come close to that. The sheer fact that you claim he was spinning his rear wheels prove how ignorant you are. 
I'd say that even if you did really beat him its because A. he didn't realize he was racing, B. he was spinning...congrats on winning in the rain, something to be proud of.
