I was just on my way home last night around 11, and I'm one block away from my house, and there's a Civic at the light just ahead of me. I have to make a right into the parking lot where I park, so I just get into the right lane beside the Civic. I guess he thought I was lining him up. so he revs it. I look over and see it's VTEC on the side of this coupe and think, "great, I've never raced an Si-R, this should be interesting." I rev it too, and at that point the girl in the passenger seat looks suprised and turns to the guy and says something which I didn't hear since our windows were closed. The lights turn amber for the other direction and he starts to creep forward. Weak. I let him do that, while holding my rpm at 4500, and he's about a half-car length ahead of me now, even though the light's still red. It turns green and I drop the hammer, feathering the clutch on the edge of wheel-spin, right to 6000rpm, then hammer into second at 7400rpm. At this point, I'm already ahead of him. I'm positive he bogged it because of his silly rolling start, but being Hamilton, it's a one way street all the way up Cannon st, and we get to another light just before it turns green. Same thing again, I smoke em. Another red light, I smoke em again. It's actually not even close, so obviously this guys a horrible driver. Another light and there's a Z24 sitting at this one. She didn't even know what was going on when these two cars fly up beside her and come to a stop, but the light turns green and we go at it again, and I smoke him again. But at the next light, the Z24 pulls up beside me before the Civic, and we got 3 cars lined up. This time, they both "red-light it(go before the light is actually green)" so they both have over a car length on me. The Civic got dusted again, but it took me til just after the 1-2 shift to pass the Cavalier. By 3rd gear, she was toast too. A couple more lights, a couple more races, and the Z24 beat the Civic both times, but weren't even close to me. They turned off the next street, and I drove home with a big smile on my face. The first kills of the year...........
