is the ep3 the '01-'05 hatchback si? if it is you should have taking them if they're stock, if its modded then its a drivers race, if your car is manual.

Haven't raced one yet. I'm not sure about the specs, but I have taken several of the new SI's easily on motor.

this is a perfect thread for me my friend has an ep hatch w/ I/h/ full exhaust and I have sorta the same setup we raced up to 100 and were neck and neck the whole way and he is an insane driver too awesome race I feel its more of a drivers race since when we shift at 6200 he can still hold it to 6800rpm I believe so when we shift they enter their powerdband but then we catch up

Try shifting at a lower RPM and see what happens.
