Minding my own business, I pull up to an intersection, red light, typical story of a street-race about to occur.

I see what looked like a Saturn with a body kit, but, with different body lines, check the badging, it's a CL-S!

I'm sitting there, windows rolled down, I glance over and the CL-S owner (some goofy looking white guy, mid-30s, baseball cap on backwards ala Fred Durst) asks me to race...

It takes me a mere second to shout across:
"Are you serious? Do you know you have no chance whatsoever?"

He looks at the car and looks back at me:
"It's only a nissan."

Here's the part where I nearly lost it and started laughing uncontrollably. Mind you, he has what, .2 litres more than what I was driving? Eh...i agree.

Light turns green and the following happens:
He goes first, he squeeks his wee tires.
I wait a second and let him get to the front bumper.
I rev to 3600rpm, and slip the clutch. Back end squats.
a good wealth of tire spin is present.
He's still at the front bumper.
Shift into first gear almost immediately. BOV shouts at him.
More tire spin.
He looks over with some large frightened eyes.
A mere split second into 2nd gear he was at the rear bumper. Top of 2nd - he's 2 cars back
Shift - Psshhht
Middle of 3rd, he's 4 cars back.
Top of 3rd, he was a forgotten memory.


Sometimes, I wonder what goes through those honda/acura guy's minds... He did have an aftermarket exhaust...but? Comeon? Can't compete to a VG30DETT I can't believe he was actually trying to talk crap!??!

 

What were you driving again?

 

when the hell did you get a turbo?

 

VG30DETT = 300Z?

 

this is a thread like your mods thread right?

pure and utter

Kam your imagination is gettng out of hand

 

Not again?

PS. NICE!

I wonder if this post will get moved since it is not Maxima related?

 

 

Too bad there wasn't another light you had to stop at. That way you can just look over at him and laugh in his face

 

Somehow, I don't think he was in his Maxima.


VG30DETT = 300ZXTT? Right?

 

you should have slowed down to laugh at him...

 

well he did say wrong Maxima Owner which led me to believe he was driving the maxima if he was driving the 300Z .. he should have made mention

 

I agree. His subject title is confusing. Maybe he should say, "btw, I wasn't driving the Max." His ending kind of hinted at what he was driving, but the subject title threw that a bit off. I think his subject title should have read, "Idiot CL-S owner messes with the wrong guy." Something like that.


SCCA Solo2: please explain.

 

Yes, i was driving my friend's 94 300zx TT. I figured i'd keep you guys in suspense . My friend was kind enough to let me drive his car around for an hour. Man do i love Zs...

There's no way I would have put a hurt on the CL-S with my Maxima like that. 4 cars by 3rd? I'd have to run an itty-bitty pulley (read: dime size) on a V2.

I was just in awe that this guy actually wanted to race the z?! (that's shock, not, ahhh as in sympathy ).

I was purposely trying to confuse you guys... i'm sorry. There weren't too many fun threads floating around...

About my mod threads, those are funny! Comeon! I'm making new mods now

 

SprintMax = Semantic

But it made for a much more interesting post keeping you guessing.....

You should have known that VG30DETT ain't in no Maxima.....yet......VG30DET is the only realistic one and that's 3rd gens only.....

You really need to improve your motor acronym skillz if you are going to be a good brain-washed dot org member......

 

bill = [ok not going to post it again]

I was just saying you were criticizing his "deceptive" use of words and playing on their meanings, which made you the semantic police....
