Good title, you should get killed.

Try using the accel instead of the brake you idiot.

Dude, with an intake, that thing SHOULD be a monster. I know TL's can be quick, but why even try to race a car that is clearly out of your league? Anyways, good try representin' the Acura.

meh, i got an 03 tlp as a loaner when i took the tls in for service for my pops, and all i can say is wow, BIG diff with just 35hp 16tq less than the tls. felt kind of groggy off the line; even my stang would have caught it out of the hole. but even that, there is NO WAY IN HELL that a kia spectra with an intake can beat you, much less hang. move the shifter down two notches to d5, lift your foot off the left pedal, and press down on the right...

First of all, Kia Spectra is trash. So it's not even worth racing. Those things are slow as a mathafucker. Your mom probably smoke it. You dumbass, don't know how to drive. Or maybe you're just a kid who is trying to impress us with your future car, the spectra with an intake. Sounds like your car blows just like your mom. Close this fucken tread, it's a disgrace.
