I don't see that front end swap too often, though I was out with a guy last night who's done it to his car. I just don't get the point.
It sounds like he really was racing you and he just didn't do a very good job. I beat a Terminator at the dragstrip because he screwed up a shift or something. It happens. Good kill.

Based on your gears I take it you have auto? That be harder to launch, especially with skinny tires.
If manual, your launch should be crisp with minimal or no tire spin (dont let clutch out that soon). Then smooth shift into 2nd, no crazy rear end into the neighboring lane, lol. Again, you dont just let the clutch out. 2nd to 3rd and so on, its power shifting, unless you saving your tranny from rebuild.
Now, he had a girl, I doubt he was racing you 100%. He was toying with you, because you said he hang with you. If you have a girl sitting with you, youll be spending all your time making her feel special, and racing is making yourself feel special, in other words thats not what players do. It is much more fun to toy around while you drive, than flat out kill someone.
What I would do is not race him, but keep eye contact with the girl and see if you can come up from her side on the next light. If windows down, make a compliment, if not, ask him to roll them down then make a compliment, or just say hi to the girl and dont look away first. If he start driving fast, thats his loss and your win.
In other words, if the other driver has female passenger you like, come out of the situation not faster but superior, make his girl feel turned on by YOU.

RE: Proof drivers matter.
Good kill.
LS1's are then gods that people make them out to be.. especally if the person driving is clueless.. When I went to the track last time there were a pair of TA's.. both were nearly stock.. I think they both had lids and that was about it. Both guys were on street tires. Neither could get better than a 14.3 with tires ablaze. Hell I saw one of them pull a mid 15 spinning through the 8th.... Wasnt the tracks fault.. most of us launched just fine.. these guys just plain sucked.
