It's been awhile: tsi - vs - prelude97Tsi 05-25-2004, 02:38 AM I was on my way home tonight on Airport road which runs next to boeing. It was dead, as it usually is at night. I'm goin about 5 over the speed limit and see some headlights approaching. When it get's closer I see it's a prelude...it looked stock except for some 18" rims. He passes me slowly but surely and glances over while his left hand is in the 12 o'clock position on his steering wheel. I get behind him because that is the way I needed to go to get home. We take the corner and I drop a gear, switch lanes, and get around him. He then switches lanes and gets around the minivan in front on him and we are in the clear for a little bit until we reach some pretty sharp s-type curves. He's behind me and drops it to try and pass me. I see this and drop a gear too. He pulls a little bit (he dropped first), about up to my rear quarter panel but then I gain my ground back. I'm about a car and a half ahead of him and we kill it because the light before the s-curves is red. I was excited until I realized the light was about to turn green. So i was stuck right inbetween 1st and 2nd gear. I throw on the breaks and get it into 1st gear right before the light turns green. I spin the tires through 1st gear and then shift to 2nd. He is about 2 cars ahead of me (he got a better start at the light) and then I start to pull pretty hard, by the end of 2nd gear I'm to his rear bumper and then by about 5k rpms in 3rd I'm not even half a car length behind. I cut it off at that point because that last thing I needed is to lose control in those corners and wreck my car. I didn't exactly win, but it was a fun run. He turned into his neighborhood after the curves and I threw the thumbs up out the window and he flashed his high beams. 97Tsi 05-25-2004, 02:41 AM Oops...I forgot to say it was the latest model prelude, the 1999 style. tha_new_guy 05-25-2004, 03:49 AM Nice run, man. What have you done to your TSi? Raz_Kaz 05-25-2004, 10:57 AM Very nicely done....got lost reading that blob but when I finished it, the story was nice :) 209 neon 05-25-2004, 12:03 PM to bad you didnt get a second run landyacht 05-25-2004, 02:22 PM Too bad there was no round 2...well done! :icon16: 2000LS1Z28 05-25-2004, 02:36 PM Good run. I'm actually surprised you didn't win. I believe stock for stock that your car is faster. youngvr4 05-25-2004, 02:42 PM that would have irritated me because i know if you were in a better position you could have won. i hate bieng inbetween gears, that f%$&#$g annoys me. good run. catch his A$$ another day and leave his doors on the asphalt and then come tell me were to find them :evillol: TatII 05-25-2004, 02:45 PM good lose. don't worry you'll have your revenge like how youngvr4 will when he catches that 200sx again lolz. Polygon 05-25-2004, 02:46 PM Good run. I'm actually surprised you didn't win. I believe stock for stock that your car is faster. No question. Nice run, it is fun to hear about someone racing on some curves once and while rather than just in a straight line. Raz_Kaz 05-25-2004, 02:46 PM good lose. don't worry you'll have your revenge like how youngvr4 will when he catches that 200sx again lolz. /\LOL :lol2: Way to bring THAT up again, poor guy will never rest now until he beats hmi and puts him in his place youngvr4 05-25-2004, 02:50 PM :lol: lmao, you guys are gonna tease me with that one forever :grinno: TatII 05-25-2004, 02:57 PM hahah its just too funny. i'm sorry but i will never let anything do that to me. i might play iwth him at first then get serious and destroy is hope. but i would never just let him beat me for the hell of it. in a scenario like that, i would just rather not even bother wasting gas ( its 2.45 a gallon here in nyc for 93 octane!! ) youngvr4 05-25-2004, 03:09 PM well thats why i din't race him cause it was a waste of gas, when i was racing him(if thats what you wanna call it) i was just barely touching the gas, when i do that my turbo's spool up a little past 1 and i just cruise. what the hell am i explaining myself for :thefinger you guys, lol :icon16: 2000LS1Z28 05-25-2004, 03:12 PM There's no shame in losing to a 200SX :screwy: Dude they have 140 horspower :cwm27: TatII 05-25-2004, 03:13 PM i know what you mean. you just gassed enough to get the turbo spooling and just let the turbo do the rest of the work while only gassing like 40% youngvr4 05-25-2004, 03:26 PM yeah exactly. i got you 2000ls1Z28. just as soon as you loose to polygon :iceslolan 2of9 05-25-2004, 04:54 PM oh...its a FWD turbo...nice race tho 97Tsi 05-25-2004, 09:13 PM Good run. I'm actually surprised you didn't win. I believe stock for stock that your car is faster. Yea...He pulled ahead of me at the light because I was stuck inbetween gears, but throughout all of 2nd gear I pulled a little over a car length on him, so if we would've had more space, i would like to think I would've beat him pretty bad. Oh well... 2000LS1Z28 05-25-2004, 11:12 PM Yea...He pulled ahead of me at the light because I was stuck inbetween gears, but throughout all of 2nd gear I pulled a little over a car length on him, so if we would've had more space, i would like to think I would've beat him pretty bad. Oh well... It could have been worse, you could've lost to a stock Nissan 200SX. :lol: 97Tsi 05-25-2004, 11:22 PM lol :1: for 2000LS1Z28 youngvr4 05-26-2004, 12:25 AM It could have been worse, you could've lost to a stock Nissan 200SX. :lol: LMAO :grinno: tha_new_guy 05-26-2004, 01:01 AM It could have been worse, you could've lost to a stock Nissan 200SX. :lol: PWNED!
