I'm Driving through the middle of town when I noticed a black 05 WRX STI riding my bumper. I wasn't in the mood for racing givin the fact that it was hot as hell and I was only boosting 1bar of boost on pump gas 95octane (probably 93 octan in the USA) any way I'm on my way to the beach to meat up with my dad and sis. and this thing is still following me 15min latter, as I aproach the beach I park up to see if he wants a chat, he launches past me and parks further up along the beach (can't see him).

I chill at the beach for 1/2hr where I meet up with my dad and sister, comming back to my car I notice a guy checking my car out, I'm thinking its the WRX guy walked up to him and see its a freind from school that I havn't seen in years. He was checking out my ride, and told me he saw the guy up ahead launch hard, he was looking at the set up in my glove compartment. I offerd to take him home seen that he was pretty excited to go for a ride.

as I pull out on to the main road leading to town I notice the WRX parked up next to a fish and chip shop, I drive slowly past him to see who was in the car, it was some guy in his early 20's with his girlfreind, he didn't even turn to look at my car when he starts reving the hell out of his, so I let my BOV go off a few times to let him know that I'm keen to kick his ass (no offence this car is awsome, I'm just an agressive racer), so he follows me I take a turn off the main road to go out to the coast which has long swinging roads and some nice straits, I am very familiar with the area.....

we start off on a strait we are side by side, we are going 30k's I hit it in second and so does he, he gets a good jump on me and I am on his bumper, we are aproaching the first corner to the left which I know is very sharp and is a 30kph zone. he slows down to 60kph I push the limits of my car, make it past him in time to take the corner I make a sharp turn @ 80kph (freind is griping his seat belt) to the left and am power sliding around this corner still going flat foot in 2nd I red line I see the WRX drifting in my reverse mirror around the sharp turn, He is only a car behind me I straiten up along a short strait and shift to third his car is gaining on me. we aproach another sharp corner I brake down to 50ks in which he passes me and takes the corner at around 70ish this corner swoops uphill I shift down to 2nd and red line her taking my car to 100kph we aproach a long strait that levels out over the hill, this is where I think I have the edge at this point he is about 3 cars in front, I'm flooring my car to pass him shift to third and then 4th but I'm not clossing the gap we stay like this until about 180kph where I finally start to pull hard.

As I'm close enough to pass him I've already hit 230kph I shift to 5th and hit 250kph (freinds like Oh Shit!!) pulling 6 cars on him I slow down since I know I'm about to aproach two more corners which are ment to be taken at 70kph I brake hard and smell my pads baking his car is still going about 140kph blasing past me I see him aproaching the corner, Don't think he's going to make it I Beep my horn and flash my lights he doesn't even slow down as he turns up ahead I see his car drift side ways on the wrong side of the road almost off the road and then he spins out of control, his car did a weird bounce as it spun. I slow down to see if he's all right,we pushed his car on to the side of the road you could still smell the burning rubber. we made sure he was fine, he rang for a TOW and then asked me what type of supra I was driving:22yikes: he must have been pretty shaken up. I wasn't going to hang around I take my freind home to his place. He was shaken for a bit. but was happy. He even wanted to go for another drive
told him to buy his own car, he was looking to get an R33 GTR sometime this year but the GTO/3000gt is def an option now :evillol: .

After reading your posts, your life seems more dramtic than a TV soap. So right now I'm just thinking, what the hell. I'm confused on what to believe here. Mabye your telling the truth and if you are nice kill if you did in fact have a dukes of hazard run through some streets and come out on top.

I thought your cardomain site said you had like 500hp? you would think you would have easily caught up to and blown by the STI with that much power :screwy:

Wow. Pretty crazy. Why did he need a tow?

30kph zone high???

if you read the story you would have noticed that I was detuned to 15psi on pump gas. my car runs 530+ ATW on race gas at 25+psi.......

He Needed a Tow cause his rare wheel was wasted..... bent in like 45 degree angle...

Good kill and well written:bigthumb:

Defiantly get some vids of your car because that would be sweet and it will shut some people up.

yeh, 209 srt, i dont think he meant 30k rpm, he probably meant 30 kph which god only knows how much that is in mph, jk, i like the supra part, too bad he got you in the twisties. And it seems you have a rather interesting race life, new zealand seems like an interesting place to live, hmmmm...

Nice kill and racing. I love 3000s, I've owned three of them in my lifetime, almost bought another for like $35,000 (US Dollars) it had the works and like 500AWHP+ but it sold before I got a chance to buy it, so I got the EVO IX RS.

and a good choice you made^^

though the vr4 wouldnt have been a bad choice either :)


nice kill ralli, that sti driver sounded like he was a pretty good driver(unless on a unfamiliar road)

we need a translation to mph, that would help us out dearly :lol:

nice story though, keep writing like that and you might win the best story teller of 2006

when on 15psi(same as i run) do you know approximate how much hp your putting down??

15psi I don't know. I could guess and say maybe an easy 450hp at the fly. My previouse GTO was boosing 15psi although felt no where near as good in the top end, and also had no where near the mods but I have to say that my old GTO did seam to launch better at this boost level.........

Will convert kph to mph in the future.

Thanks.....
