Well...ok...so that last explanation...they raced, the civic upshifted early, then downshifted and pulled ahead, just to fall behind to the nissan...
So as I see it, there are two explanations. The Civic didn't think they were racing, then realizing they were, he downshifted, or, his bottle ran out after a few seconds.

"haha, this thing got all complicated, so lemme just clear it up, we were at the light, we took off, i was beating him by a car length for some time, then he downshifted, caught up 2 me and passed me by a car and a half, but when he upshifted back into gear, i slowly caught up 2 him and beat him"
Hmmmm....he was at a light, but as he was getting beat, the other dude downshifted? to a negative gear I guess? lol
The last part sounds to me as if he did a ricer-flyby and THOUGHT he won! LOL
damn, worry about the gene pool!!!!!

when my speed exceeds the rev limit for the second highest gear, it won't downshift to said gear when i'm in top gear.....
i know this is out of context, but just pointing it out........

Actually I felt sorta sorry for the guy. He obviously isn't the sharpest crayon in the box and was just trying to pose with the big boys a bit. Unfortunately his ignorance caught up with him and they ate him alive. My guess is his posting days are over under that nick. 
If you wanna run with wolves, better not trip. Speaking as a newb myself, I thank my lucky stars I can bare my ignorance here on s2ki and not be publicly humilated for it. Of course, I don't think I'd ever make the mistake of calling downshifting cheating. That was monumentally stupid.

I can't believe there were people on that forum that actually believed his story and tried to make sense of what happened.
