It was about 11:30pm sat night on Sunset bvld. in San Francisco. Im in my 1998 I30t auto(wish it was 5spd) with my heavy a$$ stock Infiniti touring rims. My car is stock except for a K&N drop in and my San Jose State U sticker on my back window which is equivilent to a v2 Supercharger and NOS. I was driving the speed of traffic, not to fast not too slow. I am a dam slow driver on the streets and I SIGNAL. But don't go 65 in the fast lane on the freeway...that ****es me off...cuz i go 90 on the freeway.

I see a car a block behind going pretty fast. When he finally gets to me on my left, he floors it and "takes off" then slows down. I know what was up and he had a friend with a video camera taping also in the passenger seat. He had 2 ppl in his car and i did too, i was with my best friend. He had a 96/97? Taurus SHO cuz he had a 24v emblem on his sides, SHO emprinted on his bumper, factory mesh rims and dual exhaust. I just got going from a red light, so i was going about 20mph and slowly accelerating. Well, i wouldn't have raced if i was going like 37mph or so cuz 1st gear shifts at 40. Don't mess with auto maximas or I30s when they are going 20, 60 or 90 they pull HARD. I floored it and he floored it about 1/2 sec later (i was behind him when i floored it). OMG...imagine u walking and i was running at the same time. I pulled on him BAD. Got up to 65 mph or so and looked back, dam, he was like 3-4 car lengths behind me, no lie. So i let off cuz why bother and Sunset bvld has hella cops sumtimes.

I drive normal again, and he eventually passes me. I see a red light coming up and he slows down really soon and i come to a complete stop at the next light. He was still rolling cuz i guess he wanted a moving start and thats why he slowed down way before the intersection. I step on the brake and when the other light turns yellow I continue stepping on the brake and rev my engine to like 1200rpm (feel bad i did that to my tranny). We go again and he had a little rolling start while i was at a complete stop. I did't peel out, good, but when i was going over the MUNI tracks, tires slipped a little. Again, imagine you walking and me running. I pull on him BAD. I went up to like 70 or so and let off and flash my blinkers this time. He was 3-4 car length behind. He eventually passes me and he stops at the next light behind a car in the left lane, and i go into the right lane cuz it was open.

I drive normal in the right lane, change over to the middle lane and i hear him flooring it and cutting over to the left lane and try to catch up to me. He catches up to me while i was in the middle lane, pulls up to my right floors it and lets off. He was ahead and i floor it and 1/2 sec later, he floors it. Again, my example, he was walking and i was running. Got up to like 65 or so and I let off. He was 3-4 car length behind me. I slow down cuz Lake Merced turns were comming up and the road is broken with hecka potholes. He passes me and goes pretty fast around the turns, not smart. I continue to drive normal until i see him like a min later, turning into the Park Merced apartments. I'm pretty sure he had his camera on the whole time, so i can't wait to see him post it. I hope he does. Keep a look out for the video SHO vs. I30t...lol JsL

 

You know ... I'm pretty sure the story is pretty interesting ... but it got lost in the huge block of text with no breaks.

 

sorry...

 

yeah same here ... if you edit the message and put in a few breaks it'll be easier to read
