Default Idiot 350z racing on I-495 tonight 7/8/07

Saw a reckless 350z speeding south on I-495 and racing what I think was an altima. Both were weaving in and out of traffic of heavy traffic at around 11pm. Curious if it was anyone on here.

lol, i don't think he's going to post now since you called him an idiot. And some people wonder why they get rock chips. I'm guessing they were goign 90+ on the freeway, any type of debris will leave a mark.

It was me testing out my new engine swap. The 2jz that Dave put in is having some issues. The Altima was a friend, we were just using it for benchmarking as to why the twin turbo's weren't spooling as fast as they should have been. We got a little out of control. Sorry!

Damn, how could you spot a fast 350z in I-495 all the way from Dallas, LOL J/K.

Don't know man, after the AWD Z project I wouldn't put it past Dave to do a 2JZ swap.

As bad as our trannys are putting in a 2JZ without a tranny swap as well would be pointless.

next time you get the urge to street race just ask yourself:

"What would tony the tiger do?"

Yeah sorry I couldn't make it. I heard UFC was ok. The tito fight sounded pretty lame because of the point deduction.

Sucks to hear about Jesse, reminds me of a Chris Titus bit of him falling into a bonfire.
