Exclamation Ralliart vs. Accord... The Good and Bad...

Ralliart (o4): I/E
Accord (9o): I/E/10ft. wing

Im stuck in traffic bumping my music, and I see these HID-like pair of headlights are glarring @ me. I look in my rear-view mirror and I can't tell what it is, I thought it was a early 90's integra. So the lane to my left is moving and my lane is at holt. The guy switches lanes and moves up, my lane moves up and where even, but there is 3 cars infront of us. The guy starts revving @ me and I look over and see 3 people in the car (including the driver). He had aftermarket altezzas, 4" exhaust, Intake (heard it) and a huge metal/aluminum wing (JDM yO!). So my lane moves up, significantly and his lane is @ hold status, so I pay him no mind. 2 lights later im @ the next light and guess who comes flying up next to me.

The Good:
I know it's him, but I pay him no mind. He revvs, but i still pay him no mind. From the corner of my eye I can see the girl in the passanger seat waiving @ me (trying to get my attention). I finally look over and he's looking straight @ the light, so wth I thought. Light turns green and we both launch, i slipped the clutch and wheelhop alil bit of 1st gear, slammed into 2nd and chirpped the tires and had 1.5 - 2 cars on him. Immediatly hit the brakes, because the next light turns yellow to red.

Now The Bad:
The next light, im really nervous for some odd reason. My right leg is twitching, lol... seriously. Left foot on clutch and right foot is tapping the gas. It's like my leg had parkinson disease. I look @ the guy and he's looking straight again. So I held my revs @ 2k (don't want any wheelhop), I see him inching up, there is loads of traffic behind us too, im ready for green and still shaking, light turns GREEN, and BOOM...

I STALL!

embarassed as hell, the van behind me is honking at me, I try starting it and it wouldnt come on, so I put it into 1st, start it up... get wheel hop and TAKE OFF, by than he was far down the road.

ill get him next time,

I know exactly what you're talking about. Same thing happens here. It's just that adrenaline pumping, gets ur nerves shot.

^It's the ralliart.

And I know how you feel... that sucks. It happened to me before when I was at a light on a hill. I was just messing around, rolling back, then up multiple times. When the light finally turned green, I just stalled hardcore. Ugly moment...
