yea he was racing with triptronic (which is actually slower than regular automatic) and didnt even drop to first after raising the RPM's, he just put it in first and went. I dropped the clutch at about 2500RPM's and just smoked him... by the time i was going 60 i had like 4 car lengths on him. I'm guessing the same thing happened with the other prelude i raced... he had about 15 grand worth of mods in there (supposedly the nicest car in the school) and he lost to a stock civic. I guess that 15K was well spent but its allright he sucks, his car sucks, and he sucks at life in general.
