ok, a strange thing happended on last Sunday morning as I was heading to church...
I was behind a stock standard EVO 9 MR at the lights awaiting to turn left. Since I've just installed my CF bonnet, I was guessing that the evo had noticed that this aint just some ordinary civic.
I was also eagar to see how my ek9 stacks up against the evo.
So as the light went green, he slowly turns left and onto the right lane, and just about when his car was aligned straight after the turn he floors it (but don't think he hit the redline in 1st gear), at this point of time, I was 45 degrees before having my car aligned straight on the lane and floored it right there, at this point I noticed the evo isn't holding back, as it started getting away from his head start, I hit 8600rpm forgetting that I had an extra 500rpm left to rev but forgot, straight into 2nd gear, the evo's stretch had come to a stop and was matching the evo's acceleration by 9100rpm, and into 3rd gear before the redline, guess what happended?................................................................................... I was gaining on the evo..................................
