You must race on a dirt track.

Or be shifting manual.

This guy had to have not been stock. Cause i smoked him off the line, then 5 seconds later he just blew ahead out of nowhere. I was just trying to teach him a lesson for not letting me over. Should have raced closer to a dip so he'd bottom out. Hahahaha I didn't know power trans did anything..?

You sure taught him.

I bet he'll never do it again.

I would have flipped my turn signal on right before he passed me. That would have been fun.

Sounds like he had a stock civic with now bottom end and a stock xj with no top end raced and the natural outcome was the xj leading off the line and getting passed.
