VTEC killz The story of me vs M3
Me: 2002 s2k with 1300 miles on the clock. stock
HIm: 1997 M3 cold air intake, exhuast
The race: I launch at 3thou and bog (this car is so different then my previous honda, i suppose i have to rev it higher) anyway, he has me by 3 cars. Then, something happens, it looks like he is slowing, but that wasn't the case. By third gear i was at his side.
The verdict: I lost. We raced and there was a redlight ahead, so even though i was pulling hard and litarrly about to pass him I slowed because i hate when people run reds at high speeds. SO i lost, it sucked, but I know, (not pride talking here) i would have passed and won. But holy shit does VTEC work. It really sucked, had i finsihed 3rd gear i would have been a car ahead. Theres always next time.
Ps. Is it ok that i did this? (raced) I hit vtec 6 times prior to this (all after 600 mileS) DId i hurt the car. This was my first race. PLease, tell me. Mike

i first hit vtec at 400miles...and started really hitting it at 600 miles! my car is fine...for now. i doubt i'll have to worry about any serious problems.
yeah, if you're going to race from a complete stop, then you have to dump the clutch at around 6,500 or 7 even for best results.
your first race...no biggie. vtec feels great huh?

Well i am not sure of the E36 or 46, but it was the 240 hp one, 2nd generation. It was my first race in the S and it felt liek my first race ever all over again. So, from what iam getting i did not do anythign too bad. Did anyone race a bit in the early mileage of their S (between 600-1500) and now has signficanlty more and the car is fine? THanks, sorry for the worry, Mike
