Integra had it's first kill tonight. Was a 00ish VW Jetta with some aftermarket wheels, girl driving. She and some 4 door raced from one redlight so I slowly gave chase. Well next redlight caught us and I got next to her. 
I see her creeping at the light and as I see the yellow lights come on I rev it up alittle and load the clutch alittle. Green light I rev it up as I slip the clutch. Half a carlength off the line, by 6,500rpms I'm at a full length and half. Shift into 2nd and I'm 2 or more. Short shift into 3rd and its over. 
The Integra is sick nasty!
Funny thing is it has been so long since I've had a race this one got my adrenaline pumping. How sad.

My intake makes noises that would cause your motor to shut itself off from pure fear.

So I’m driving down the access road and I see this mid 90’s ford escort with tinted window, a trash can muffler, and three passengers. This day I was riding solo and happened to be in my 1997 Chevy Lumina aka The LUMINATOR. Were both at a stop light with nothing but space and opportunity ahead of us. The Luminator has 145,000 original miles and the mod list…well let’s just say it has NGK spark plugs.
So the light turns green and we both take off a little faster than normal. I hear him floor it so I do the same. As I get thrown back into my seat because of the vicious down shift. I grab the steering wheel and hold on for dear life. As the car shifts to second I could see the white stripped line that divides our lanes turn solid. (40mph) I have about about a car length on him. We both shut down about 65mph with me about a car and half.
After the race we both give each each other the thumbs up. I wiped the sweat off my brow and said to myself, “I’m glad I Seafoamed the car last week or this would have been a completely different race.”

I make sure and tell everyone that its aftermarket and its not just for looks either. Thats right, six confirmed UHAUL trailer pulls. I carry also chain in the back of the car just in case someone has the ***** to hookem-up.
The sad thing is most people dont even no I have a TA because I always drive and talk trash about the lumina.

this thread is epic. i dont really have a winter beater though. i have the DUTY, caddy, and camaro, my wife has her minivan and tahoe, both of which i refuse to set foot in because she carries her dogs in them. i post races in the duty the best being a month or so ago when i raced my brother in law when he was in his wife's s2000. i actually pulled him, and from a roll, which isn't the duty's strong suit. he had the top down and there were 2 of them, but i was in a 7600lb truck with 2 people and a sub and tools he tried me 3 times with the same result, me out 3 cars by 125. my speedo stops at 100 but he said he was doing 125 when he let off.
