I'm on my way home tonight and sitting at a light on airport road. I look in my rearview mirror and see the headlights of an integra (one blue, one yellow...sigh) coming up fast in the other lane. As he is slowing to a stop at the line, I can hear a lot of bass and a little bit of 50cent. Once his car is at a complete stop, I glance over and see his teg is slammed, with stock LS hub-caps.
By this time, his bass is too much for me, so I roll up my window. He must have taken offense to that and decided to rev his motor. I hear his intake and think to myself, why not?
The light turns green and we're off, shitty start for me...yay! He takes about a half car lead.
Once I recover and the turbo spools, I pull hard and gain half a car lead by the end of first gear. I kept pulling through 2nd and by the end of 3rd he was at least 4 1/2 cars back (hard to tell when looking through a side mirror).
The guy catches up and we hit another red light. As we're slowing down I roll down my window and ask if he's driving an LS, just to make sure. He said yeah and I gave him the thumbs up. The light turns green and he takes off pretty quick. I decided once is enough, so I just cruise off and continue on my way home. Good race...even better confidence booster!
