simple anwser is that your not racing a real gsr or making up stuff. I have a 1994 gsr (basily stock), and you can not compare 1997 ex with a gsr , no way no how.

he also states that he beats LS's off the line. but not how long he stays ahead of them. also we dont know who is driving, what tires, etc. sounds a little abnormal to me but if so to you.
