A Ferrari and Corvette at high school??? Damn... must have been nice to been born with a silver spoon in your ass *cough* I mean mouth... Even the speed6's... sheesh.
I just came from an Acura RSX-S, basically a glorified Civic Si. I'm not saying you won't beat it, but it would be a big mistake to just say a car is beatable because it's an import.
Little torque yes... but geared well. Gearing multiplies torque. It's got a flat curve too. Above 3k rpm they will move well. They can be a little tricky to launch but once moving they are pretty easy. I didn't think it was hard at all to keep it in the powerband. My RSX would accelerate pretty good all the way to 135-140 where 6th gear came in. I was in love with the shifter and clutch feel. Very very nice. Best yet that I've felt. They respond pretty well to most mods.
But good luck man. I think you'll win this one.

Yeah, I know. And I felt so stupid about it too. It's one of those things I let bother me all the time too. Worst part is, I got a phone call from a blocked number 2 days later that said if I ever raced at the track again I would have my ass kicked. Well, I raced again 3 weeks later (next event) and nothing happened.

i raced a 07 4dr with cat back and intake and he stays RIGHT next to me until my middle of 4th than i walk away... and i have a 06 ss/sc with k&n drop in... if he launches good he is going to get you in a ¼ with no problem

With the mods you listed at the time you posted this. (Intake, muffler for you, intake for him) if he can drive he has you. Particularly the higher the speed the race goes to.
THE launch is the key. Once he's out of the launch and hits vtec. Its vtec from that point on unless he messes up a shift.

first off i wanna go to school with him^^ second if he got the tune you are screwed i think but if he still only has an intake it should be a good run
this guy
my school had 2 M3's (nothing special), a red Supra TT 800whp, a black supra TT stock, red SS/SC, a bunch of trucks, a Z06, one kid had a Ferrari 360 Modena (his dad is a chair member for AT&T or something), a girl had a supercharged Range Rover, one kid had a Boxter but it kinda sucked, at least 4 Civic Si's with 1 older one, Mazdaspeed 6, 2 people with S14 Kooki SR20's (1 with 400hp and the other with 300), and 1 dude had a KA-T build with just over 300 (also an S14, red 1995). This is only because I live in Alpharetta Georgia though.
