Info:

Your friend sucks ***** at driving his car. Anyone who knows how to launch and shift would have walked you like an ugly dog .... quickly, and without looking back.

WTF are racing wires? If you mean plug wires, replace them back to stock, you are losing power with those.

Yes..

and Racing wires? Lmao, what the expletive are those? Maybe you mean the extra thick ones that reduce magnetic fluxes so they don't expletive with your radio (but every set of plug wires has been like that since the 70's)

Racing wires = ZERO hp in any way. Maybe it's a good weight reduction technique, lmao.

In any event, I assume you're talking about the Nissan Sentra Spec-V? If I am thinking of the same car that you raced, your friend either has a pathetically broken *** car, or is a pathetically bad driver and should shoot himself reptitively in the legs and bleed out - this way he can't work a clutch anymore and infect the rest of the Nissan population.

If that car was in normal condition (100% stock) and had any regular driver (that has any idea how to launch) he woulda wrecked you - plain and simple.

Tell your friend a msg from me: He sucks at life.

PS: I can just picture some dumb *** white boy holding his nissan to the redline and popping the clutch and wondering why he's losing O.o

yep that is true...plus you have to remember that our EJ8's/EJ1's are quick off the line...if your a good driver and get a good launch you can keep up with TEG's/EM1's until the beginning of 3rd gear...i know i've raced a stock EM1 and stock gsr with just a SRI...i beat them off the line, but once vtec kicks in 3rd gear they start pulling...o and i was bone stock too..with just my resonater removed and k/n drop in filter...it really depends on the driver bro...i feel sorrie for your friend man what a waste of spec V...haha...
