Ralliart vs. Civic sI... FINALLY!
Ive always ran into them, never had a real race, most just kept driving or paced me and turned off etc.
Tonight I was leaving the gas station I decided to take a short cut home, as im driving thru an intersection, I glance to the left and see a silver sI w/ his left turn blinker on, and immediatly I thought... I WANT THIS RACE! So still in second, im doing 25mph in this 45mph lane, cars are passing me on the left side and I finally see the sI headlights, but they seem to not get any closer. Im going 30mph now, speeding up because I don't wanna hold traffic or cause an accident. So I said "f*ck it"... speed up to 40mph and got to the upcomming stop light. Well low and behold guess who is right on my ***... sI!
I didnt even knew he was there, I just happen to roll back and look to see who I dont hit and it was him, cool. Still there is traffic and im behind 3 cars, so the light turns greens and I go.. nothing fast or exciting, but he's now on my bumper and accelerating fast on me. He changes to the left lane to get next to me, but his lane moves slow... and I don't wanna lose this potential race, so 2 cars infront of me make a quick right and another changes to his lane, so I accel fast so he can catch up and than move to my lane, and than switch back to his left lane and he did. We both get into the right turning lane and take off, but it wasn't long before we caught up with front traffic. We accelerate and finally get around them and come down this hill to a STOP LIGHT! It's a long 2 lane road and there is NO TRAFFIC infront... awesome setting. He revvs a few, I revv a few. I notice he has a passenger, and im alone, but its ok, weight is about the same. My foot is getting that "parkinson disease" again, lol. Im praying not to stall. Light turns green... I launch 2500 and because of the moist road and tires (stupid so cal rain) I get nasty wheel spin (and so did he), all the way to 6k, so I had to quickly shift @ 7k, but where dead even. As soon as I shift 2nd... i pull 1/2 a car. 3rd gear... I can feel MIVEC cam and I pull even more, im ahead 1 car length, 4th gear... nothing changes so I shut down.
He pulls up next to me and im still in 4th, I don't know what gear he is in... but all the sudden before I can react "ROLL RACE", he nails it... im thinking its to late to down shift, so I just FLOOR IT in 4th, by that time my front bumper is at his back door, but slowy im catching up and now his front bumper is by my back front tire, but I shut down because of a van infront of me.
We get to the next light, and now IM AMPED! He revs, I revs... light turned green and since my tires finally warmed up... I launch @ 2500 and catch traction @ 4k rpms and put a car on him, into 2nd (feeling MIVEC cam)... i pull, into 3rd... (feeling MIVEC cam even more) i pull HARD, to the tone of 2.5 cars on him, i looked back and he hit his flasher, so i shut down.
Next race, I was ready for a roll.. so im already in 3rd, and he was too. We evened up and immediatly he punched it, i reacted quickly and pulled half a car to redline, than I shifted into 4th and MISSED! Gaaaahhh, he pulled and shut down. I caught up and he gave me a thumbs up and I gave him a thumbs up too and he made a turn @ the next light. By far my coolest run
