But i believe you guys because if you look at the numbers, Scion Tc beating a Civic just doesn't add up. It has to be human error.

You were waiting for VTEC to kick in for how long now? Your friend should have been through 1st gear in a few seconds and then stayed in VTEC the rest of the race if he knows how to drive. "Waiting for VTEC" has never been an issue in any race I have been in because you only have to wait in 1st gear.
Also, as someone stated before, if you guys are going from 3rd or 4th, it makes a big difference how fast you are going. Since its a 6-speed vs 5-speed, if you both start in the same gear, going the same speed, only one of you will be in the power band. I am assuming, the tC driver called the gear and the speed and your buddy went along with it and lost.
