me v.s. IS300..........

i was cruseing along at about 75-85 mph when a car came up behind me so, i moved over and let him by. then i proceeded to follow him for about a mile at say 90. he gives it the gas and so do i . by 100 i was passing him and when i hit 125 he was about 5 cars back trying to keep up.and of course i turned on my hazards and slowed down.not a bad race but, i was the one out front!!!

Your mods must make a big difference because I could only pull a tenth of a second faster (1/4 mile)than a IS300 (SRT intake piggy ECU) with my GLE.

I think I need exhaust mods!

hehe good kill, stock is300 makes good food for the 2k2 max to gobble up. It's those supercharged ones you need to worry about, which hardly exist on these roads anyways.


IS300 was almost going to be my car choice, damn i'm glad I chose a max.

It means that, if you were actually racing each other, you've been eaten/smoked/cooked.

It's a friendly way of saying "give it up, it's over".

yea ricers tend to do it when they fly by, after you had them for lunch, and they think they can save face by speeding up after you broke their heart, and getting "revenge" by passing you. This is part of the ricer psyche, since they don't understand what performance means (IE looks fast, must be fast), they don't understand what "losing a race" means either. ahaha
