nope, hes boned.


some advice tho, dont get too excited out there. just launch easy as he wont be able to launch hard anyway, and just reel him in if he jumps. those cars run like 15s and at full wegiht (ie not swapping that motor into a little civic) hes not too much of a threat.

hold the clutch in, rev the car up, and just let off the clutch and stomp on the gas.

preludes are slow as hell...I just smoked one today when he was trying to do a ricer fly by while I was going 60mph on my way to work (saw him racing up in my rearview)... I didn't even have to drop from 5th to 3rd but just 4th and I still put bus lengths on him in a matter of seconds. He kept trying to pass me after I shut him down even after the 3rd time. When we lined up at the next light he didn't want to run b/c he knew I would've spanked him again. Haha what a loser

haha niice!

i have a question for all....

If i got some sort of an off brand intake system, and then just replaced the fliter with a K&N air fliter, would that be just as good as like a K&N intake system?

I'm sure it would be...but just make sure it all fits nicely...oh and I think I've heard that plastic is better than metal because it insulates heat...not sure though
