I had a car length lead when we took off and I spun tires too (bald) or I would have had more of a lead.
Considering my ZX2 is bone stock, with bald tires and I shifted at 6000 rpm to his (probably) 8000 I would say the ZX2 is a freakin Honda KILLER. It took him ages to even catch up a one car length lead. Unless there is some SERIOUS money put in to a Honda they really suck. Ford and other american carmakers know that as Carroll Shelby put it "Horsepower sells cars, torque wins races".
I would have loved to have seen the horrified look on his face.

only 6k? wtf

oh and an i4 accord..least since 94...makes more tq then a zx2
