Unintentional race - 2002 Civic Si (Canada)/EX (USA) vs Eagle Talon

Okay, so I was at a red light on a tiny 2 lane highway and since I'm getting new rims and tires around Tuesday, decided to launch. I had no plans to race. Just thought, what the hell. I prepped for the green, rev'd to around 3K rpm and dropped the clutch.

I was so far ahead from the car beside me it wasn't funny. Too bad that wasn't the Talon I was talking about in the title. The guy on my left took a left turn. I've got my foot to the pedal when I see these headlights behind me. It was the Talon. I couldn't tell what it was this time of night so I'm trying my best to push it. I'm like holy, crap... Then I thought, well, I drive a Civic. Guess how it ended? I lost. My butt hurts. Haha. How did you think it'd end?

Don't know what kind. Couldn't tell what year either. It wasn't too new though.

No, I don't think the non turbo could take a 7th gen. I raced an eclipse, and I believe those cars are much the same, and I won. I run a 7th gen EX stick.

I can beat a N/A eclipse or Talon and I have an LX. THere is a big weight difference. I also have raced my friends GSX and got my *** whooped so hard it was like I was riding a tricycle.

I beat my friends 1st gen Talon TSi AWD car. We upped his boost to 19 psi and installed a good front mount. After we were done, we raced. And i beat him. I even beat him off the line.

He is a Really shitty driver, and didnt know how to launch.
