Ok, now for my most embarassing story of losing.

I had just gotten my spiffy new A'PEXi S-AFC installed and dyno tuned by a very good tuner. Well, I don't know if it was him or the Acura dealer I went to shortly after that, but my ignition timing was way off from where I had it set to.
My fuel map had a nasty hole in it or something (little Fast and Furious humor). Anyway,
I was cruising with some chick in my car who really likes Tegs.
A Riced out Civic EX pulled up at the light and revved. He had another guy in his car. We launched and we were pretty even until end of 2nd gear he started to pull ahead. To save a little face I let off the gas by then so I wouldn't be spanked even worse.
When we stopped at the next light the first thing they asked was if mine was a GSR......I'm sure they were hoping they could say they beat a GSR but I told them mine was LS. They were on the verge of frothing because they had beaten me. I tried to tell them my ignition timing was messed up but the light turned green and they took off. That was when I knew there was definitely something wrong with my car

Anyway, that was pretty pathetic, but I got my ignition timing back to working order and now it's back up to spec!
