Default what is that sound?

I Was driving yesterday and a civic pulled up next to me wanting to race, when he hit his gas his car made a air sound like a air compresor was firing, What was the sound? and how much does it cost, i know that it must have gave him a preformance gain because he smoked my azz should have pulled out my bike. Thanks for the replies.

It's good to hear these kinda stories from the people that got beat.
And my hats off to camilion4, because he took it like a man and never said anything negative against Hondas.
