The problem with being at the "drag-strip" is the Type-R kind of has a Hype-R reputation. Anyone else feel me on that? Some kid thought that Type-R's come stock 6 speed manual transmission, with a (get this) Turbo built Spoon motor :roll: .
Anyway, I've seen a lot of Type-R's get spanked at the drag strip. Keep in mind, the Type-R was never meant to be a "drag-car." If you try racing (even a Civic Si) on the freeway, starting the run at 60~70 MPH, you don't pull by much. The Si also feels (I said feels) like it has more torque (probably because it's lighter, and lowr to the ground).
Although, not the best example (I had a car full of people, and this Civic EX was just with the driver, and slightly modified), we raced on the freeway, starting at about 80 MPH. Neither one of really pulled on eachother. (Like I said, not the best example, because I had a car-full, and he didn't). We got up to 5th gear, at 136~140 MPH. At this point, I was kind of pissed, because I wasn't really pulling. I resorted to extreme cheapness, and "fanned the clutch" in the 6800~7600 RPM range once or twice. It was kind of funny, because the look on his face when I just kept "jumping" forward.

"Fanning the Clutch" (known on the street as Double Clutching (yeah, probably because of that gay @$$ movie) - Hitting ur clutch in while leaving ur gas pressed down (to stay in VTEC longer) and make your RPM jump to a higher RPM. Slightly harder pull. Try it, you'll notice it. Just make sure you don't hold the clutch...pop that s#it in, and let it up.
