Even though my VE feels like the slowest car in the world, I beat a modded 300zx N/A

Yeah my max is slow right now because I need new Ignition coils, injectors, Fuel pump, Y-Pipe, and Cat. So Maximaracer28 is following me down this 2 line road and I see a 300zx that has a stealin body kit and after market exhaust and rims. He started weaving to get out of traffic so I said to my self **** It I want to play. Next thing you now I am in second gear auto crossing through traffic than on his ***. I also lost MaximaRacer(Auto 99 SE-L). I followed him to I95 and he floors it on the on ramp and so do I but I have to keep leting off the gas. Then it gos from 3 lanes to 4 lanes and he takes a empty lane and so do I. I hear him floor it(Intake) so I down shift to 3rd and pull away easly. and we did the same thing again with me killing him again. Then I95 turns into 2 lanes and some how he manage to get next to me even though traffic is thick. He has me put the window down and he Yells" Do you have a turbo" Me "No!" and at this point we are doing 45mph and traffic is honking. I also forgot to mention I have a crack in my Y-pipe that sounds like a turbo Back to my race. He was looking at me like I was BSing He then Said" I can hear your turbo" I say"No I don't I have one" He then loooks at me like I am crazy becausee my little old max spanked him and I had to have something. I then said "One more time"
So I down shift to 2nd and bamm we are on. I was a car length within a second and just kept going. People just don't know the power of a max. I can't wait in till cattman gets me my Y-pipe back and I do my secret project.

Nope not photoshopped. That's how she sits in my driveway right now.

Only difference is that the fogs wont bolt up. I dont have enough room in there to fit the bolts in there. Sooo, they're just sitting there for the picture. I'm gonna get some smaller fogs soon...

Now if only I could post with my usual s/n.

I hear it all the time. when you spank the pi$$ out of a modded audi A4 2.8 turbo (custom turbo) in front of about 300 kids parked in a parking lot on the cruise strip... you tend to get asked that question about 100 times in a night.
What makes it even worse is that the intake whistles under part throttle like a turbo spooling up.. hold it about 1/3 throttle, and the riceboys will turn and stare from 100 yards away.

Last weekend, I raced a Z31 turbo and beat it.. then the passenger in the Z said I had a turbo because "he'd seen it before"..
Me: "ummm, no turbo. not yet. it's in a box in the trunk."
him: "bullsh!t! I heard it, and I saw it in the shop being installed!"
Me: "Nope. I don't use any local shops for anything and there's no turbo under the hood."
him: "No way. $20 says you're lying."
Me: "Show me the money."
[he holds up a $20]
I pull over and pop the hood... they spend 10 minutes looking inside my fender at the CAI trying to figure out how it runs to the intercooler (the invisible one) in the bumper.
Then he handed over my $20 and they left.

better yet is to throw it in 2nd at 35mph and leave them staring at your shrinking taillights.

I love doing this. Once a guy rolled up next to me at the stoplight and started revving his engine. I'm like, "oh crap... that's a cobra mustang, and he wants to race". He must have heard my intake whistling and he now thinks I have a turbo. Well, he keeps staring at me while revving his engine... nice flowmasters. Well, when the light turned green, I stomped on it and tried to get out in front as quick as I can. I've never laughed so hard when I saw him about 15 car lengths in front of me before I got to 20 mph. Oh well, maybe I will get him next time.
