Last night I was on my way to my gf's house when a red Integra pulled up next to me at a light (it was the most recent body style so it was probably a 99' or so) . He immediately started reving his engine, filling my ears with his obnoxious exhaust note . I didnt respond because I didnt feel like racing him at the time. The light turned green and he floored it spinning his tires. I accelerated gradually but then thought what the hell so I floored it too. He was already a few car lengths ahead of me at that point but I quickly gained. By the end of 2nd I was side by side with him and into 3rd I pulled ahead. I let off at that point because I was speeding and I didnt need to embarass him any further. He of course floored it past me then proceeded to cut over 3 lanes of traffic to turn at the light. It was my first time ever testing my car against another and I was delightfully surprised at how quick it is! Score one for the GTI.
