Tell us how it happened and make it understandable;)

My and a friend take off on a piece of staight road with my previous Nissan Stanza, 'cause he wanted to see what it would do. So I hold her to the floor until I hit 118 mph. I slam on the brakes and cut down a dirt road. There I reach about 93 mph and airborne a few times at around 75 mph.

We end up on a paved road I know pretty well. It's VERY windy as in lots of corners, so I give it a go.

I was doing 105 mph often enough and when I got half a mile from the end of the road, something bad happened.

I was approching a blind hill curved to the right going down. I was doing 90-95 mph. My friend says: " Watch this one, it's tricky."

I guess tricky!!!!!!!!!!

At the last minute, I took it wide 'cause I wasn't sure. So I was in the exact middle of the road.

The tricky part is the dump truck taking it wide to pull into a yard. He was in the very middle also.

I would just like to say at this point that I have a certain experience in rally and extreme controlled skidding, etc.


SO... I go right to avoid the truck and end up on the shoulder at over 85 mph and I could feel the tail end wanting to break loose. I see a Caravan 50 feet behind the truck. I knew that if I recovered the skid I just might clip the van by the angle of my car.

I took a gamble and put the Stanza into an uncoverable skid to the right, then locked up the brakes as to give me a chance of staying on the road as long as possible.

I eventually slid into the ditch at a reletively low speed considering and almost rolled it.

No one was hurt and I managed to drive the car home the day after.

Okay i have a 98 R/T Neon and its not a baddass yet, but the other night some punk pulled up in his riced out Civic hatch with a really bad ripoff of a good body kit with a primer paint job. So he revs his engine, keep in mind mine is stock, so any who he pulls up and starts reving his engine so i look over and he is laughing at me in my Neon. And hey I will be the first to admit a Neon is sometimes something to laugh at, but i thouhgt "all right punk lets see if your Civic is as bad as you think it is" So I punch it, and for the first three gears he keeps up and then I put it in fourth and it was all over for his ricer. I dont normally race but i just thought i should see what my car was made of, and to my delight its not all that bad. So when i get some mods on it, who knows maybe ill go pick on a few more Civics, and yes Kris i wont dis on G20's. So here is a little word of advice to all of you Civic driving 17 year old punks, dont assume that since a car looks weak or has tradionally been weak that it means that your wet fart exaust sounding Civics are always faster, ask the guy down the street from me he found out the hard way.

Oh in case i forgot this goes out to all the 17 year old Civic onwners.....:flipa:

This story is no Lie, I lived it to tell you guys. Mad Phat: I race two Motor Cycles Once, I admitt it was alittle foolish to race motor bikes with my car, but they asked for it. I Drive a RED 95 VW GTI-VR6 Golf, Lowered, Chip, Exhaust, 17's, grill, light......the works. I'm at a stop light with one of my boys on a two lane parkway and what rolls up next to me a "CBR 900 and a GSXR 600 or 750". So of course they rev up there bike to show off alittle and I couldn't let them show my DUBB up, so I rev My VR6 up to say "What You Aint say Sqwat to Me Son". So the light turns green of course they get the jump; it's only natural they are liter, but i'm not far behind. So after they look in their mirrors and see i'm still there they do alittle weaving and i'm still with them, but at 70 I don't want to croud them, I had other things in mind. As we near where the two lane pkwy merges with a three lane pkwy they are still within my sights and then i said to myself now it's on. I drop down two gears from 4th to 2nd to get some tourqe and almost bang the rev limiter before shifting again to 3rd and i can feel my Six gaining speed quickly, Now here were the fun began. Now on a straight piece of the pkwy I catch up to the bike at about 90 in the slow lane and they are both in the fast lane looking to move over to the middle lane. The CBR makes it first to the middle lane and I beat the other bike to the middle lane next, Now he saw me, but i guess he didn't know what he was up against. I was probably doing about 110 or 115 didn't have time to look at the speedometer. At this point with the CBR900 in front and the GSXR behind me and boy was I tight in my seat but it felt good to know my little VR6 showed up Two street bikes. After a few minutes of that i moved over and let the GSX past me and I got off the pkwy because my exit on the pkwy way coming up for the cronic spot i was going to in the Bronx!!!!!!!!, When it tell you i need that Blunt to calm me down, because I was Floating on adrenalin, but it was mad fun.::smoker2:

Im sorry, but you are an idiot. There is no way in hell that you could beat a CBR or a Gixser in any aspect of racing. They were obviously not racing hard at all. Do you really think they were?? I hope not. Those bikes do sub 4 second 0-60's and under 11 second quarter miles. So dont say that you showed up two superbikes in your "the works" Gulf, you just sound stupid saying that.
Now he saw me, but i guess he didn't know what he was up against. He obviously knew what he was up against and didnt bother to waste his gas or time on you. Sad, just plain sad.

All Right Let The Beat Down Began: First you need to learn how to spell when you post replies foolish mortal, The car I drive is a "VW GOLF GTI-VR6" not "GULF" as you so smartly put it GEEK and the type of Suzuki bike that I was refering to was a "GSXR" not a "GIXSER" oh let me guess it must be a South Florida HICK Thing "Billy-BOB aka Vince007". Maybe you should try Speak and Spell, it tends to work for illiterate Hicks like yourself and oh yea Vince is your "Vote" down there in West Palm Beach counting and Recounting "Still":monkeypis. Next genius if you would bothered to read "which I keep forgetting you can't" I said this whole race took place on a two lane parkway in New York with turns and corners and other traffic flowing with us you mental giant. The fact I was trying to point out GEEK is not that my car could beat two motor cycles in a quarter miles from a dead start "SLAPPY", but the fact that while traffic was moving I had the ability to close the distance they had on me and to also have the ability to out manuever one of the two bikes i was racing to an one spot on the parkway FOOL. I'm talking about New York driving conditions, not that slow as snails pace you people call driving down in "Non-counting Hick ville West Plam" get a clue GEEK". And to your comment about the riders on the bikes not wanting to waste gas on racing me, they are the ones thats called me out Reving their engines try to show me how strong their bikes are.....funny how you commenting and you weren't even in my car you "Baboonic-Fool" Katz like you I can't stand, do you even Race or do you even have a car and if so it's probably some American P.O.S or some RICED out Jap Import 4cly trying to front like you've got some power under the hood :greenchai. Your the F*#king loser who's Sad and an Idiot Vince007, Katz like you love to Hate you fake ass Spy wanta-be :flamer: .What the hell do you know about Aspect of racing...oh I forgot you have a license to Kill, speed and to be "Illiterate". Maybe before You comment on peoples post you should read it a few time, I hear It takes slow readers and thinker like yourself a few hundred time to understand something simple, But then again you come from a place where people can't count or think in the first place:flipa: I :monkeypis on you Vince007 and don't get caught NYC alone someone might count and spell to fast for you and you'll be all F*#ked up in the game, get a life Loser and comment about shit you've actually witness :finger:. The topic was about street racing GEEK, why would I make up shit just to look good, I gets down for mines, I don't BULL Shit when it comes to racing, now Punks like yourself and the rest of you :flamer: FL katz who know what you pretty little boys do down there BUTT Pirate:angryfire :badass:.

VR6ER: I understood fully what you meant, and actually it was easy to understand the circumstances in which you described your street racing venture. Congrats on your maneuvre and let's hope people actually read what's going on next time before insulting.

Peace.

What were you reading? Obviously not what was written cuz at no point in time was there any mention about him being able to beat bikes. Looks like the only idiot is you for coming to that conclusion. I suggest some comprehension lessons.

Those bikes do sub 4 second 0-60's and under 11 second quarter miles. So dont say that you showed up two superbikes in your "the works" Gulf, you just sound stupid saying that.

Actually, you look pretty stupid in saying that. And by the way, it's "Golf", as in the sport. I thought this topic was about races on the streets, when did 1/4 miles come into play. HHMMMM, gotta look this up.

Now he saw me, but i guess he didn't know what he was up against. He obviously knew what he was up against and didnt bother to waste his gas or time on you. Sad, just plain sad.

Actually, you're sad. Because your ignorant ass didn't read!! I suggest before you go on here and start insulting people, you try and comprehend what is said or just ask for clarification. You responding to this post just shows how stupid you are for bringing things up that weren't even the issue. But then again, you already knew that! It's pathetic that you would go on here and insult without even knowing what VR6ERS even has. I know for a fact that some of the mods that "can" be done to that car, actually make it very competitive, bike or not. Now, I'm not saying that bikes are in danger of him, just that they won't dust him as fast. So, slow down, read, comprehend and then respond.

Only thing that I ever raced and won was a early 80's Dodge 1/2 ton short-box with a 225ci Slant-6 Auto. Yes Yes, go ahead and laugh now .Damn I never should have sold my Mazda 323:(

:smoker2: how were you doing 115 in new york traffic?
please explain...the bikes would whoop you ne day!

:smoker2: i was just chillin in my 1998 Honda Accord 4 banger, when this 1994 V6 Maxima Stick (mine is auto...i know that sux) pulls up and wants to race. At first im like no...but eventually i give in and say ok (all i have right now is rims). so the light turns green and we take off! we are neck and neck until 2nd when he pulls ahead...my car kicks into VTEC in 3rd gear and i fly by him at about 95 before shifting into 4th. We pull around and i ask him what size engine he has(i dont think my car is fast--stock)...he says 6 and i laugh...he say what size and i say 4...he says "you are lying" and im like "no" and he kicks his car and i pull off. really one of my only race stories....maybe one more...i have to remember the details, and maybe ill post it!
thanx for listening!

I have a lot of good kill stories but here are three that make me laugh.

1. Headed up Main Street in the Cuda. As I pass the turn around point a 5.0 Mustang pulls out and takes off trying to race me. This wasn't much of a challenge, but I said what the hell and stated toying with him. Now he was getting his car in the high RPM range of about 6000-7000 RPMs. We consequently the engine blew. He over revved it BAD! I had to laugh at that guy. Not some much that his car sucked but that he had no idea how to race.

2. Once again on Main Street in the LeBaron. A Chevy Monte Carlo is revving up his engine at the light. So I brought my RPMs up to about 4500 getting ready to take off the line. Light turns green and he takes off squealing his tires and almost loosing control. I took off nice a slow, because I saw the cop going the other way. The cop pulls a U-turn and pulls the Monte Carlo over and waves to me. Later he pulls me over just to talk, he said he thought he wold be giving out two tickets.

3. This one is an awesom kill, and not on my part.
I am driving a friend home in the Cuda when a Silver Dodge Challenger pulls up. As he does the sound of his car totally drowns out mine, and my Cuda is pretty freaking loud. He has 340 badges on the hood, but from the way that car is rumbling I could tell the was bs. He brings up the RPMs like he wants to race. I am thinking that I might loose but I am curious. Light turns green and he is off like a shot. He toasted my ass faster than anything I have ever seen on the street. I catch-up to him and he pulls over and so do. I get out and yell, HOLY SHIT!!!
I asked him what the hell is under the hood of that beast. Well here is why I lost "pretty badly" he has a 528 Hemi Twin supercharged. The body is also not stock. He had a special made body that makes his care weigh just over 2600 pounds. What a sweet ride.

Okay...no long story...so i'm gonna make this short... A probe GT wanted to run with me, so I ran him over with my 2000 Celica GTS. :D

i dont want to talk kills, but 120 in the rain w/ the windows down is nice..

and for vr6ers,
i dont doubt you did what you did, b/c everyone always has a story that doesnt make sense to everyone, but is it necessary to be an asshole to the guy and make yourself look like an insecure teenager?
you didnt spell everything right either, and your grammar is not the best. so dont talk shit.
and great, you outmaneuvered a bike. wow.
anyone other than me take into account the power to weight of a modded vr6 gti w/ driver AND passenger vs the bikes?

and hell... i dont doubt you but dont be a dick. thats seems really defensive to me, and defensive usually means you are a liar.

and please dont entertain the idea with a flame.
i have not put you down, just pointed out obvious points.

When people list their mods like that and call it "the works" it really makes me wonder. do they mean they have more mods... or some kind of takeaway from KFC?

Either their were some fat bastards on those bikes or the works... means NOS or something..? because the works sure isn't a chip and exaust...
:rolleyes:

I love racing bikes too, but one of those would be over 120mph in the time it takes your car to get to 60mph.. and they will keep going.. unlike you..

I was thinkin' the same thing. I could beat one of those Accords with my Stanza!

ok i'm confused does he just have a 4 banger or is it a V-Tech?

that's not excluding itself..... 4 cylinders and still VTEC IS POSSIBLE :)
for example, a Honda Civic has 4 cylinders and has VTEC.
However, VTEC is only a Honda thing...

This isn't my only story, but it is the only race I've gone more than 0-60 with. This race happened about year ago, when my car was still pulling strong. In my stock 89 Towncar, I raced 00 Acura 3.2 TL. It was at about 10:30-11:00 at night, fourlane divided highway. We were at a light and neither or us were revving and when the light turned green, neither of us wanted the other to be behind. So after about a half second, we both had floored, and i was pulling away, by 60 i didn't have more than half a car legnth, and i assumed it was over, so i let off. He keeps going and goes right by me, so i floor it again. We end up doing this for about another 2 miles, and end up flying through some light traffic, but because of it im not able to be next to him at a light, only right behind him and there is no where to pass him. He pulls awy cause i get blocked by a car, but I catch up to him over a bridge where he slows up but i floor it and almost pass him before he gets on the brakes to turn around after he realizes his car isn't as fast as mine.

A lot of four banger Hondas have V-Tech. Still V-Tech is no big deal anyways. A lot of people are too stupid to even know what it is.

LOL, it is a magic thing that is like turbo, but not and makes you go real fast and sound cool :rolleyes: LOL

Most car companies have their own form of VTec now. Nissan have their VE engines.

SR16VE N1, 196 HP .. i will take that thanks

The person who told the story about the Volkswagen and the CBR Honda 900 motorcycle does not have a clue.

Perhaps if the Volkswaged driver was in a ZO-6 Corvette and told how he wore down a CBR on the curves I would understand.

My advice is to stay away from motorcycles. I can see a nightmare when the motorcycle goes over and there is a critical injury or even death. When your in a car stay away from motorcycles.

I would not even look at any Volkswagen who wanted to race me. They are just a grocery getter.

HAHAHA, exactly. I knew a guy that thought V-Tech was a turbo, and another guy that thought it was a fuel additive. The guy that thought it was a turbo. I asked him to show me the turbo on his car just to humiliate him. First he pointed to his air cleaner, next he pointed at his radiator. I just laughed and said, you know nothing about cars.
I heard that ford used to have something called Z-Tech.

LOL :rolleyes: ZTec..

actually, its zetec...
it is a motor family, like the vortec chevy motors...

to the guy who said a vw is a grocery getter, tell that to the 700hp awd vr6 tt that is runnin around in canada...
its built by eip tuning...

Amen!

Jesus H Christ! Do people out there think members of this board are idiots or something? That story might fly with a bunch of Honda drivers with no footing in reality, but not around here.


As for my story. Driving the Spyder yesterday and a Camero SS lined up with me. Those are strong runners so I upped the boost to 17psi which is high as I want to go so I dont damage my turbos. The race was to the next light since thats a natural ending point. I tacked up to 4500 and I could hear his exhaust rumbling like a tank and on the green we were gone. Actually, I was gone. The AWD just bit into the pavement and launched just perfect. I think his tires broke loose so he lost several car lenghts in short order. When he pulled up he gave the thumbs up, but I could tell he was itching to go again. But it'll have to wait since there was some traffic turning in front of us. Next time it might be different, but for now the Spyder was king!

V-Tec is a cam-based enhancement on the Honda/Acura engines. It isn't fuel-based, or displacement-based. although better than stock honda/acura engines, they still suck. Oh yeah, and all V-tec's are 4 cylinders, there isn't a such thing as a 6 cylinder V-Tec

Well, I am sorry to burst your bubble there. But all motors suck. Its how they were designed. :rolleyes:

Also, maybe before you decide to come in, and try and act like your the shit. Maybe you should do some better research. Do you know what the first car to have VTEC was? Obviously not. Because it was not a 4 banger.

What was the first car to have V-Tech?

Well, technically, there is not one single car with V-Tech. The first car with VTEC was:

Best racing story i have is in my dads 1997 SL500 against my cousins friends (i think its a '99) Porsche Boxster moded (turbo etc) to 300 hp...so we were talking before and he couldnt help but call the SL a "girls car" so 2 weeks later i see him downtown in his car.....we pull up to the lights, and race it was hard to tell who would win because we hit stop lights every 100m! It was right out of "Meet the parents" Tires spining, and ABS kicking in and all....anyways eventually hit the highway...so its a emreld green SL500 top down VS. a Pearll white Boxster w/18 inch chromes top down....it was intense as hell we hit speeds of 200kph + a damn good race...until he had to exit b/c he had no gas left (or so he says)......no one beat anyone in that race we were both neck and neck the WHOLE time.....he was either RIGHT on my ass or i was on his......

I had an '88 cavalier and raced a 00 civic. It looked stock. Keep in mind that my cavalier has a rusted, worn away cat-converter(I dunno if it makes a difference). Anyways, this brand new civic pulled up next to me at a light. After a while I realized he was reving at me, I mean I couldnt even hear his engine or anything. But i ignored him because i didn't know he was revving at me and took off fast like i usually do. I realized he was trying to keep up with me. Me and my friend Chino looked at each other. I steped on the gas and slowly started speeding up away from the civic. I beat it by like two car lenghths. But i no if I had kept going he would have gained on me at higher gears. I don't think he knew how to shift since every time he shifted he chirped his wheels.

By the way, my car has max speed of 85mph. haha(seriously).
Well it had since i slammed it into a curve trying to drift.:D

im sorry guys but i dont think that your gulf, golf, or what ever the hell that thing is, can actually beat any of those bikes. you said that the bike was going 110 or 115, those bikes can probably do around 160 atleast so i know for a fact that they were not topped out. and since when do you have to be literate and have a phd in english to know what a engine can do, "you fuucking democrat!" Most ase mechanics that i know didn't even graduate from highschool. You dont have to spell to know that a gulf cant beat either of those bikes that he mentioned!

You know I could swear somebody covered this once already in this thread. He never said he "beat" the bikes, he just said that on the highway he outmaneuvered one for a position in traffic. I swear some people come to the forums just looking to pick a flame...

Yeah i use to live in Brooklyn, Ny. And if he was doing 115 in new york traffic and manuevering through cars at that speed, he must have been driving a indy car or something. And since bikes can go through smaller gaps in traffic, don't you think that it would make it even harder to out manuever them? Im not trying to knock any body, just trying to understand, also if you post a topic. Youre most likely going to get some debate so if you cant handle it dont post one!

I will try and be as sensitive as possible.


To flywsi: First off, he defended himself to what was a flame to him. Don't go and criticize someone for defending themself because you would have done the same thing. Your comments don't make any sense to me since this thread is talking about "experiences" in racing. Plus the fact that he wasn't going out and saying that he beat the bikes. Secondly, he isn't a teenager. He's probably older than you with the flames you're throwing at him.

"anyone other than me take into account the power to weight of a modded vr6 gti w/ driver AND passenger vs the bikes?" You want to talk about someone's grammar. What the hell are you saying here?:huh:

Look, you as well as everyone else in here can express your opinion. You don't have to believe what anyone says here. But being someone who PERSONALLY knows this guy, and has been in the car with him, can attest to the performance of his car. I was not there when he was doing this, but I don't doubt it either. I could go on, but I'm not going to waste my time. Before you go flame someone else, think about what you are going to say.:mad:

Bluevette74:If you're from Brooklyn, I would like to ask you. How familiar are you with Westchester County and it's open roads?:confused: If you had any familiarity, you would know about stretches such as the Bronx River Parkway, I287, 684, Taconic Parkway, the Sprainbrook Pkway, etc.. Now, I read and re-read what he said, I still don't see where he mentions the city in that. I also don't see where he says that he beat them. I only see that he said that he kept up with them. He also specifically said the Bronx River Parkway, which happens to be a road that I take on a daily basis to go to work. I can also attest to the fact that at times, it is open throttle even with traffic on it. Not that I am bashing you either, but please, inquire first before you cast doubt on someone.

Ok i have read and re-read the thing. I never said that the bikes beat him either. I said that they would have and still will beat him if they were full throttle, even in traffic. And if im not mistaken the guy said quote "this is in ny traffic not that slow traffic from florida." And to answer your question, no im not that familiar with the streets you listed. But that doesnt mean i dont know what ny traffic looks like. And i will concead and say that i dont know what the traffic looked like on that night either. Its pure physics, a bike weighing that little with all that power, a ferrari would have a tough time hanging with a super sport bike. Also just because you know the guy doesnt mean that he not over exagerating "thats probably a spelling error". I dont mean to insult anyone it just doesnt add up.

Im against street racing, and this is basically my first time. But anyways, I was on my way home this evening, basically the only car on the road, and in the left hand lane, then a fairly new MX-6 (it was an auto) pulls up to me at the next light, he looks over and gives the thumbs up, im thinking "Race in my car?...no way, street racing is bs, and ill lost neways, better not make an ass of myself". So when the light went green he spun his wheels and took off. He thought he beat me or somthing. Next light the same thing, except shortly after the light I have to be in the right hand lane to get home. This time there are a few cars lined up behind him, so I have to get in front of him, or miss my turn and go quite a bit out of my way to get home. so i pop my auto into 1st, and do a bit of powerbraking. the light goes green and its on. i made a mistake by mashing my gas, and i burned out for a bit, but I began pulling on him quite quickly. When I heard my 350 begging for a shift, I went to 2nd, and it was over for him, i changed lanes and took my turn.

The guy follows me for a final showdown, and pretty much the same thing happened, except I shut down at about 85 km/h, and he thought he beat me, cause he gave the fly-by.

Either his car is completly bagged, or he is just a useless driver, cause there is no way I should have had a chance against him, considering my car's weight.

This is my first and last street racing adventure. I do not condone street racing in any way, and I kinda wish it didnt happen except for the fact that It was kind of neat to see what my car could do. especially since its such a heavy car and only lightly modified.

I drive a 1955 beetle. OK ok i'm used to be made fun of, but i hold a pretty good hand when it comes to power. My car is very stock, body, paint, seats, only thing not stock in the interior is a VDO tach, with shift light. Under the hood though is a little different...... . Try a 2110 cc case, 82 mm DeMello crank, 90.5 Cimas, and eagle camshaft, and 48 ida carbs. Compression somewhere around 8.5 to 1. Berg 5 speed with extra support under the mounts. This car has a best time on the strip at 13.02. I know that this not that good for a a street racer but for a car older than most of us, its solid time. Now because i livei n Ontario, i've only had my licences for like 2 months, so i don't have many racing stories, but i got a good one.


I'm used to be laughed at when i go anywhere by kids in their rice rockets. I get no respect. So any way i'm on my way from picking up my gf when a kid in his 1999 civic si pulls up beside me. He starts to laugh and rolls down his window and asks me if i want to have some fun. I'm not really interested but he keeps telling me about how he will smoke me so i decide to see if he can back up his mouth. So anyways we drive around for a bit to find a suitable spot to do this. We'll, as we drive around, he keeps doing this hot passes beside me trying to pysch me out. So anyways we go to a place in the industrial part of town, nice straight area, no turns, very clean. So as he is reving his engine my gf goes out with a hat, when the hat drops, we go. So were warming up and by accident, i do the BIGGEST Burn out i have ever done. THe guy looks at me and is shocked, i just smile and tell him not to look at me. So anyways, my gf get out there drops my cap, and were off! Honestly, i have never seen somemany things wiz by me so fast, it is scary. So anyways, the guy beside me sweating bullets because he is in 3 gear and i'm still hear, so i drop the hammer andp ut it into 4 and go ahead, he does the same and goes ahead of me. Then i drop my last chance, 5, for those of you uunaware beetles only came with 4 speed so a % gear is an aftermaket thing. Well i''m drop it and he goes BYE BYE! He tries to keep up but its no use, he is deafted. I was sp proud, so for all you kids that don't respect the kids that are stuck with thier dads cars, don't disrespect them. You might find yourself seeing their brakelights one of these days..............

I was going out with my friends to the street races in a nearby town. I have the fastest car of my friends, so I was at the head of the line crusing at about 90 when an Audi TT goes flying by me in the left hand lane. I figure "oh, what the hell, you only live once" and I jam my foot to the floor. It took me about a mile or so to catch up to the guy and at this point I was running at about 115 side by side with the guy, and I had ditched all my buddies because they couldn't keep up in their beefed-up 4-bangers. So I'm running with this guy and there is a turn. He has the inside lane so I have to lift off to keep from going off the road. I lose about 2 carlengths but I quickly catch them back up. But then the fun ended, as my offramp had arrived:( At least it was fun:D

my second story goes like this: I was driving at a sane speed on a 2-lane road coming back from los angeles late Sunday night when a beefed up volkswagen golf GTI goes flying by me. Being one to not let my ego get in the way of my safety (yeah, right!) I put my foot to the floor and catch back up. Now unfortunately there was a fair amount of traffic, so our "race" consisted of bobbing and weaving in and out of 18-wheelers at 90-110 miles per hour. The little bastard had the edge on acceleration, but when we got to an open stretch of road, the long legs of my VQ started to show. Now I am skipping a lot of this story because the full detailed version is quite extensive, but on the last uphill run before my offramp, I was able to pull ahead of the punk and pass.....He flashed his highbeams and waved out the window as I turned off onto my exit. This whole ordeal lasted about 1/2 an hour, and I'll tell you, it's a good way to get the adrenaline pumping:frog:

You're right. The first Vtechs were the NSX. I completely forgot about them. I didn't even think about the NSX. So Yeah I guess you can get a VTech in a 6cylinder. My bad, I was wrong.:bandit:

yeah it was, especially considering the fact that it was a double-fine zone. :D

Great reace! I got one!

I've got a 95' 300ZX pushing out about 270 to the wheels. I am crusing around one night I was bored, so I figured I would go drive around for a bit. You get you share of ricers and decent cars. I just want to clear this up, ricers are cars that are all show and no go. ok, sorry. Anyway, I'm crusing around I've had my fare share maybe 3 races, 2 with civics 1 with an Eclipse GS-T<pretty good>. Took them all. The Eclipse hung ...through 1st. So, I'm on my way home, and this guy in a Dodge Dakota Sport...Pulls up next to me. He had an upgraded exhaust, and thats all I can tell...So he starts reving, so I'm like ok ok he has to have something to even consider screwing with my car. Green...I frikin leave his a$$, no chance, never had one. The point i am trying to make is...i don't know what the point is...I guess I'm am just trying to figure out why some people think there cars/trucks are the shizzy?! At least I ask to have a basic knowledge of your car and/or the car you are about to race, and it's potential. i just had to get that off my chest. I would like to here anyone elses experiences with this, and what they think.

Peace

what are your mods on your Z?
:bloated:

Thanks man.

I've upgraded>exhaust (custom, freeflow, no cats), HKS super mega flow intake, JWT chip, stillen headers, advanced timing, HKS ALC, extrude honed intake plenum's (upper & lower), front & rear strut tower braces. I'm starting on the suspension, and braking.

I am saving up for a VG30DETT engine swap due in some time after the first of the year. Then we won't be just playing. it will be all business!

Later buddy, hit me back!:badass:

damn dude, sounds like you've done a lot of sh!t to that bad boy! Do you know how much your HKS intake was?

Yeah, it was $200. I ordered it from a performance shop here in Jax. It is called Atlantic Performance. Some things are over priced but the rest is pretty decent. If you want to look for savings look all over the net.

Peace:sun:

hey guys! :smoka: one question does anybody have altezza lights for an 97 honda civic???

2 dr or 4?
my friend has 3 or 4 sets around
he keeps buyin different ones...
he has a 2 dr
just got the next gen ones from apc w/ cf background pretty sick

My best kill story was with my R32 Skyline GTS-t I just traded off for the GTR.

At a local drag strip during an Idrag meeting, I lined up against a brand new EvoVI. Now my GTS-t being pretty heavily moddified but only 2wd, knew he would kill me off the line so I heated the rears up really good to try and get a good launch.

As we were staging we gave each other that racer look and he smiled and waved as to say bye bye. I just gave him the middle finger and he laughed.

I actually moved first but wheelspun way too much and he pulled nearly 2 car lengths on me straight away. As the T got traction and the large turbo began to respool properly I pulled third and finally got traction. Evo is about 2 1/2 car lengths ahead. I was really pissed off but kept my foot hard on the floor board.

I caught up to him at mid track and as I pulled 4th all the modds paid off as I began to pull away from him. We crossed the line with me 1 1/2 car lengths ahead. I ran a 13.8 @ 104.8 mph to his 14.2 @ 95.3 mph Now in all fairness the Evo was stock standard but he still had weight and 4wd.

It was a great day for not only myself but redemption for all GTS-t owners getting shit on by these 4wds all the time :)

i was at the dragstrip (its only 1000 ft long so dont start bitchin bout im exxagerrating my times) and this guy walks up to me and says "i bet my friend $50 u can beat his s-10, he thinks he can whoop u" so we line up, hes laughin like man im bout to humiliate him and make some cash. he is alone and i am carrying a passenger. we go, he runs a 14.8 and i run a 12.9. when we pull back to the staging lanes he isnt laughing anymore but his friend sure is!

Riding with a good friend who owns another GTR we stopped at a set of lights. A beautiful Porche 911 turbo pulls up next to us. The guy must have had a would be girl friend in his car starts to rev and blows us a kiss. Ok we're game.
Two modified super cars revving their nuts off at the lights. The light turns green and we both launch. Porche spins his wheels and the GTR pisses all over him off the line. Second and third gear go by extremely quickly. Little red porche is no were to be scene. We slow down to the post limit and this red blur goes by.
Too bad dude you got delt to big time. Better luck next run.

Has a great car but can't controll it. What a shame.

nice kill.

why so pissed vr6ers

i too have a gti with a vr6 but i truly know what a bike can do against the fastest cars. i have a shitload of work done to my car and i have also pulled on bikes on the higway but then again thats pretty rare.
