i raced my brothers RS Integra once, and just so I wouldn't hurt his feelings (he's my brother you know) and let him look good in front of his friends, I took one for the team and started the race in 4th gear...it was bad for my tranny and clutch I know that...i could smell how bad it was for my clutch, but it was fun, when I finally starting catching rpms I caught up to him and stayed at his speed until we hit the finish line (the next stop light that turned red). So it was too close to call we said. This built up over the months though and it culminated in a race against our neighbor's SC Thunderbird...
*I posted the video to this race in a seperate thread*
Tell him the only way he'll possibly have a chance is if you stage together, then get out of your cars, run behind them, and push them down the street
