Of course if he's a better driver than you it changes the game a bit.

well i know for a fact he wont launch as hard as possible to save clutch wear and form a 30 roll is what he may want to do idk if i run him you guys will no

Lol i've heard that one a few times too

I still think you'll take him.He's lighter thats about the only advantage his car has.You have a lot more usable power

Something would have to go wrong for you not to walk on him in the 1/4 mile as long as your car is in top form.

Short wheelbase car like a Civic feel faster than they actually are...

I raced a newer civic si this last summer. The person driving was a young kid so I'm sure that didn't help but I seen him and his buddy racing then he came up next to me at stop light. My car is far from stock but I figured it was no problem so I just pegged the gas leaving him in a trail of smoke lol. Even tho I spun till 50 he was never once close to me. When he caught me at next light he couldn't of been more estatic saying it was awesome and giving me thumbs up. My girl was like omg... Lol. One of the coolest people I have raced I must say
