s2000 vs RX8
So i am on my way home tonight, windows up with the music filling in the ambient noise around. The heat on my hands and feet soothe me from a hard days work. Its late out about 8 oclock the moon has snugged its spot up above and its nice and quiet...for a little while.
1st race
I am cruising on my way home when a black RX8 pulls out in front of me in an aggressive stance. I ponder for a moment as i should pounce on the opportunity to lay waist to a wanker engine. The thought settles only for a moment as i floor it in sixth only to slowly sink in beside him at the light. We both approach the red light he down shifts in first rolling to the light, his engine screams with warning. I keep my car in second as we roll at about twenty only trying to bait the 8. The light turns green and he floors it, i proceed to entice him as i slam on the gas. My car is sluggish as the burden of not being in vtec, he lunges a car ahead but only for a moment...The four cylinder switches over into vtec causing the car to quickly gain the one car loss. The end of second comes quickly and so does his lead my shift into third instantly puts me ahead of him. I run through third only to look back and see that he was three cars behind.
2nd race
As both cars slow down we approach round two, we come to a stop light where we both remain stationary. The sounds of the beats from the radio are calmed and my ears focus on the sounds of the car beside me. I hear the engine rev i thought about launching the car but was skeptical on the waste of a good diff. Instead i focus on the light as it changes for the opposing traffic....green....yellow.....red.. i slightly feather the gas just to get a rolling start the 8 launches and tires scream getting a strong pull on me. I roll it out waiting for the bomb to explode....3k....4k...5k...right before 6 she screams in a rage and lunges me back as the lead on the 8 grows short quickly. I hit second and the lead on the 8 shot away as i pull past it by a car and a half. Third is a power shift the engine never misses a beat nor hesitates as it pulls even harder ending the race with the rx8 looking as a spec in my rear view. i row through the gears letting out of the throttle easing the beast. She calms and quiets down. The rhythm from the music picks up again.. ah* serenity again.
