Don't worry about it Choung. I got beat by an RSX type S the other day too.
Normally I wouldn't mind but he had this real annoying tall unfinished wing
bolted to the real. And my normally passive girlfriend told me to kick his
ass. He knew what was going to happen because he revved and looked over.
Then he kept edging the light until he was almost a full length ahead of me
while still red, and he got a bit of a rolling start. I launched weakly(my
fault not the Daks), but still got out in front of him edged up until about
30mph when he started to come back even, then lost him by about 1/2 length
at 60mph before I had to slow to change lanes to get the freeway ramp. I
wish he had gotten on the freeway too. I'd have shown him what a slightly
modded dak could do on a skid pad.
I feel if I had a better launch and a lower gear (I'm running 3.55's), I'd
whooped him. If he had caught me with my race wheels on he wouldn't have
had a chance.
