I've got a similar story from my recent go with a Civic with similar apparent mods, but I can only guess that he was on juice. This was a couple of year old Civic that was nicely done. He had about the loudest coffee can that I have ever heard. My go was only up to about 55 or 60 from the light and a clear safe shot ahead. I was "staged" a little ahead of him at the light so I wasn't sure if he was going to go for it. I moved out right at the green, but didn't punch it until I heard him nail it. I had the usual little bit of wheel spin that trac allows, and off we went. He pulled me by a half car and we stayed at about that gap. I did lose some ground when the boost went off during the 1-2 auto shift. I was truly surprised that he pulled ahead of me, and I find it hard to believe that he could have done that without NOS. I'm waiting for Stage 2!!!!
