A couple of kids from my class and me had to take an hour long trip for a meeting in another city today. I had talked to one of the kids who has a 98 Accord with mods (H22, intake, headers, catback, pulleys, lowered) about racing cuz he said he goes to the track a lot. So finally we get our chance on the thruway, he had a passenger and I had a passenger so it was even. We were doing about 90, he was following me, and then there was this long stretch with no traffic. So I pull into the right lane and slow down a bit to get side by side, look over, he knows whats up so he punches it. I wasn't sure if he was gonna keep going so I waited about 2 seconds before I punched it so he had a car on me when I started. By about 115 I was at his side (gave him the peace sign), 120 half a car on him, 125 a car, 130 car and 1/4 or so, 135 pulled back into left lane in front of him and that's when the car stopped pulling it seemed (don't remember if I was going uphill or no) and we had caught up to traffic so I hit the brakes. Oh yeah my car is 100% stock, just thought i'd share my racing story in case anyone in their SL was wondering if they could be a H22 Accord.
