My First Kill

I just wanted to let you guys know that I finally got my first race in. And I beat him by at least 2 1/2 car lengths.

Im not a street racer. Its not something I do frequently. And I didnt race a sports car. But I was still surprised. I raced an 05 Acura TL. Those babies come with 270hp stock. He lined up next me at a light and gave me a nod. So when the light turned green we went for it and by the time I hit 3rd gear I was at least 1 1/2 cars ahead of him and creeping farther away.

Re: My First Kill

i'm guessing he used the spyder that he has in his sig. the one with all the mods.
it'd be a cold day in hell before a lightly modded RS beat's an 05 Tl

You sure about the preludes, those things come w/200hp stock, they pull hard when the vtec kicks in. Not trying to make the honda look good, but their motors are significantly more powerfull then the 420a.
