ok so my friend has a manual 98 prelude type sh, with intake and exhaust and i have a 01 a4 with chip, airbox mod, and dv. with the chip im running about 15 psi right no w. well we raced from a 40mph roll and i beat him by a car or 2. but now he says he was short shifting...... but his car was loud as anything and i know he was up there in rpm's. do you think he's full of bs or no...
this kid never races at all and the one time he does and i beat him he says he was short shifting. just wanna know wut you guys think

 

he's full of ****.

 

excess loud = loss of power ( all exhaut and no teeth ) jap trash are like that

 

he also said he was barely hitting v-tech but he was rolling at 40mph in second gear so his rpm's must of been up there and v-tech on his car kick's in at 5k

 

Hes full of crap... You know he was doing everything in his power to beat your audi.. Another one bites the dust...
Honda's have NO torque and you have lots, and the more torque you have, the more useable hp there is... Hes got to push his honda to the limits to see any power. Race him from a stop and it will be even more funny.

 

Hmm, I drove my friends Prelude and they are pretty fast. I'm kinda shocked you won cuz our cars are pretty heavy. And yea V-Tek hits around 5-6K rpms. Hes prolly Bs'in about the short shifting. Just race him again.

 

it's so funny 2 cause they talk so much crap about audi's and how japanese cars are better he just couldnt stand being beat i guess

 

he wont race again trust me he's like so into not street racing i was suprised he raced me this once man. but this kid doesnt race anybody. actually he raced my dad's auto z3 at the track and got beat and my dad's a terrible driver. im going with him 2 the track maybe ill race him tonight...... also wut do you think about me vs my dad's stock z3

 

WTF does that mean???? He sounds like he's not too bright and doesn't even know how to drive his own car, yet alone know how the engine works.

Vtech is variable valve timeing, and the timing varies throughout the rpm range, to give you better fuel economy in the lower rpm, and more power in the higher rpm. But at 5k he should be getting the most power.

He is CLUELESS

totally agree here VVT is for economy not power
