So friday night i was hangin out with my buddy who has a teg. well of coarse since he has a short ram in an integra ls, its supa fast yo. well we're drvin on a country road in our town that people call the ringroad(it connects some major streets). anyway, its about 10:30 and we're going 50 and he pulls up and starts revvin his engine aka neutral bombin it(its an auto). i told him that there's no way he'd win because we've been havin this arguement for a long time. mine is a Tib 4cyl with a cai, that's it. but his tranny is sooooo bad that it shifts at 4-5k no matter what the circumstance. so we both punch it from a 50 roll, by the time i hit 80 i've got 2 cars on him and i shut down. he does a ricer flyby, whatever. we get back to my house and he's like dude, im so pissed at my car. when i hit the gas, it bogged down and then went. typical ****in ricer makin excuses. i thought this was the nail in the coffin for the fact that i'm faster. i guess not. i still wanna take it to the 1/4 even if we're both horribly slow, i'm sure it will be even more of an upset considering i have more horsepower and torque and the better tranny(i'm auto)

you do have a bit more torque alil less top hp and better trany so defenitely win for you,
If his trany would function good then the outcome could have ben diferent.

Integara ls: 140hp, 125ft lb, 2670 lbs.....Tiby 138hp, 136 tq, 2900 lb... trany saves the day.
