Car:
Now this was the latest generation Prelude w/ body kit.
Monster tach and possibly vtec controller
I'm in Altima, i/e.

Conditions
Going slightly uphill.
He dropped first at idle rpm or slightly above.
I torque brake to about 1500

We are at a redlight, I notice his car roll back and he gives a little rev and creeps forward. So I torque brake about 1500.
The light turns and I get the jump and he is at my back bumper.
I didn't pay attention to the speed maybe 40 (whenever auto Alt shifts to 2nd) I had the lead, I hear him chirp 2nd and I notice he starts pulling on me, and then passes, and he gets ahead by maybe a car length.

Disclaimer
I'm not saying I can beat a Prelude because if I was in the Lude I would have dropped clutch at about 2500 not off idle. But I was surprised that it was so close. Even though I give the Lude credit because he came from behind and passed.

Moral of the story
It is not always about the car, but also the driver

Real story: You NEVER know what is going in a street race. Maybe the other guy was thinking about the many points on his license and backed off? Maybe he was aware that the area you raced was a cop hang out? Maybe he was just playing, the point is; if you are not lined up at a real drag strip or on an auto x course then you don't know if the other driver is really racing.

Take care.

Like I said I don't think I would beat a Lude in all circumstances
U might want to read the post again or read this part.......

I know that dude, You were right. Good kill against that driver!

 

[Frmr97GXE]

THEKVJ,

Good race. How did you know he had VTEC controller?

That thing in stick form would have smoked even your Accord if driven optimally.

 

[Altima_&_Prelude]

I don't know how you can call that a kill but good race nevertheless. I am also curious as how you knew he had a vtec controller(apexi/fields???). And if had a good launch(yes your right it does depend on driver) he would have had you at the end of first gear.

 

[THEKVJ]

That is a nice Lude (lets race Accord V6)
Yeah your right, he didn't have a good launch, but I thought he would have still pulled quicker, I had him to about 40.

I said possible controller, I didn't get a chance to get a good look but his car is always at this shop (Concept Racing), so I'll find out and let u know whats up, trust me I want to know myself but I'm pretty sure.

 

[SHAWN]

The big problem I have with this story is , that Prelude should have been well into 2nd by the time the Auto Altima hit 2nd , Even on my 5 spd. the Hondas hit 2nd way before I do , thats usualy where I get them , when they shift to 3rd I am right at peak power in 2nd so I pull them .....

 

[THEKVJ]

Shawn you maybe right I don't know what gear he kicked into but I figured he chirped 2nd because I don't know if he could have chirped 3rd but maybe. I didn't pay attn to what gear he was in, I was to busy looking at my tach and amazed that I got a jump like that.

um, if u have an auto, why do u look @ the tach
