Every guy in a Hemi PU. (must be the commercials)

 

All the time. Win some / Lose some. Dont knock the civics though. I was downtown after the club, and a guy in a Red 92-95 si hatch. Looked completely stock pulled up next to me , at the light we went and he smmmmoked my a**. We talked later , the guy must have been 54-59 ish. The car was a complete engine swap done right too, Turbo in all. Big fat intercooler. So stock looking on the outside. Very cool. I drove home going WOW! That was Neat

 

once on the high way a prelude pulled up next to me. it had exhast. i heard him floor it but he didnt realy move any faster so i down shifted and was a 120 in no time. he was so far back i could barly even tell if it was him.

 

One time, while I had my GTI. I raced a guy in a white 350z (base)

We went from 0 -100mph and we were window to window looking at each other the ENTIRE WAY!!!! Of course I had an APR Chip, CAI, Diverter Valve, N75 Valve, and a 3" Turbo-Back Exhaust with high flo-cat. =) He had a drop in KN.


after 100mph he pulled on me about 4 -5 cars.

A few months later, I became a 350Z owner! =)


Ok a bit off topic, but since I've had the no one wants to race me.

They just look. One time I sorta raced a Civic Si I pulled on him, would have raced again but I had to get on the freeway.

 

Yea but he was'nt really driving a Civic, it had a completely different engine. I hate morons like that..

 

I get challenged about twice a day!!!! It is sad when you can smoke some one and still do the speed limit by the way the speed limit was 35!!!!! PS truckers try to kill me!!!!

 

I get challenged every fraking day. Just tonight , a guy in Toyota Camry tried to race me. Like he had a chance

 

Since I bought my 05 Enthusiast I probably get challenged a couple of times a week. Most aren't worth paying attention to...But every once in a while a good one will come along. Thanksgiving day just outside of Birmingham,Al I had a Mercedes 320SLK try me on the Highway. I was running about 80-85 and he pulled up and started messing with me. He jumped on it and I hit it and started pulling away from him. I backed out at 135 and he was a good ways back.

As for the Lightning pickup I usually attend the Ford SVT event in Texas almost every year. I take photo's for a good friend of mine who has a 98 Cobra. For the last couple of years the fastest thing on the road course has been a Lightning Pickup. This is besting all different years of Mustangs. They are also pulling away on the straights. The lightning is one hell of a pickup. Dont underestimate them or you might be sitting there mumbling to yourself about how you just got your a** kicked by a pickup.

 

Lightnings are great but Ford forgot about putting in knock sensors so upping boost is dangerous to the pistons. Even our cars have knock sensors so our pistons don't go kablooey.

This guy in a 65 289 or something Mustang convertible asked me if I wanted to race. I agreed convertible against convertible and he saw the back of my caulick.

 

I personally love when people do stupid **** like this... because I just ignore them and make them feel stupid.

 

Sometimes I have my window down when they try this and I'll beat them to the next stop light and roll my window up as they try to look through my limo tint.

 

Nobody ever wants to race me after they hear my BOV

 

i got into an encounter with a crossfire, this guy was like, omg my engine was designed by mercedes not no jap pos, im like are you kidding me . We are at the light , and literally i lite his *** up, cross fires are lunch meat . Just look nice........the funny thing is i destroyed him even before that little wing popped out lmao.....and i feathered it not even an agressive launch because i have not mastered launching the Z

 

You gotta be kiddin me! lol
Too bad his oven brownie baking front grill wasn't!

lol
Being an enthusiast, I hate to bag on any cars but you should have asked him at the next stop light:

"so how do you like that slk?"

 

Yup, not a week goes by where someone doesn't challenge you. Last night on the way home, a VW Jetta kept revving his engine while standing next to me at a light.

 

the crossfire looks like a *****

 

Ive found that wrx's are dangerous to mess around with. They are too easy to mod and parts are getting reletively cheap for them. I havent lost to one yet, but i remember a silver one that looked BONE STOCK was keeping up (1-1.5 car lengths behind) from 45-125. I was very surprised and very relieved that i came out on top (just barely).

 

the new '00 Up 1.8T vw's can be a threat in a drag race when modded.

I had one =). I never dyno'ed it, but it was supposed to make about 200-210whp and 240-250 lb-ft of torque.

Any factory turbo car, has a good chance at the Z. Except maybe a mazdaspeed protege hehe.

 

I've had my Z barely over a week. On the ride home from my girlfriends the other night I had 3 seperate mustangs try to race me it was rediculous. W/ only 200 miles on the clock I wasn't about to try.

 

i got pulled up on by a neon on the freeway...i just looked over and laughed. they didn't like that very much!!!
