Oer here in Lakeland where the mullet is served often I came upon the opportunity to race a purdy black Prelude Si.
enough of the hick accent.. sorry for the sound effects

Anyhow Im sportin my automatic 97 Mustang GT with so few mods youd call it stock (not even an exhaust here)... driving around with two friends just past 2am.
Were trying to find ANYONE wholl race and I mean ANYONE were so bored its dumb. I finally come across a guy in a Prelude whos exhaust sounds GOOD for a 4-banger. I get beside him and gun it to get his attention. He notices and a few minutes later gives me a fly-by and I get in behind him b/c hes signalling to turn. I follow him to another part of town with less PD and we end up on Bartow Hwy heading south... about in front of Lakeland High we both slow to 30ish and whammo! hes off and I bog a carlengthh behind him. We stop aside one-another a few lights down and he asks what year and all and says he expected to lose. I explain the automatic situation and ask for another go at it. We couldnt go from a stop because someone turned out in front of me at hte light and we pull off tamely. This time I keep it in second and signalled with 3 honks for the start. Off we go! I let him hit it first so Id have no doubts.

Torque wins folks as I pulled a carlength his VTEC brought him to speed and he stayed at my back wheel until he let off at 110...
I wish I had a 5 speed.
