After researching the vids... I'd say that Mike is shifting at 13,200 RPMs. He's been doing this (racing) for a while, so Scotty wouldn't lead him by more than 1 RPM so the shift-light is prob set to somewhere around 13,199.

Also - it appears that Mike has the fastest CRX on Earth... PERIOD. With a good driver and better tuner (Scotty hasn't tuned many cars, so is probably clueless on Acuras) is easily capable of running 11.90s on DRs... and 11.50s on slicks and trapping 146 mph in a headwind.

It also appears that Mike knows nothing, and his tuner needs more experience tuning lightly modded stock motors w/ some mild bumpsticks and a few aftermarket valves and springs... you know, since the car was "breaking up" yet still pulling a stock AUTOMATIC C5 from a roll... we KNOW those are 10 sec cars EASY.

SYNOPSIS: Mike is God - and wants the ENTIRE INTERNET to know that he can sandbag w/ the best of them... this is b/c he engages in SOOO many illegals a week that he must keep the performance of this super-built machine top secret. That's why this video was accidentally leaked on the internet by some1 other than himself (poor Mike) for EVERY1 to see how he purposely detuned the car to make the race close.

Patrick --- you're lucky the "real" tune wasn't loaded or you would have REALLY gotten drug. Now you know... "grown men shouldn't fuck with Kidd's".
