Taught a 2001 Honda Accord Sedan a valuable lesson

Sunday Night.. i agreed to help my gf play taxi and pick up her cousin's and their friends from the ALL AGES DANCE CLUB .. Club 2001 on Berlin Turnpike..
Just as we picked them up and heading home... i see a Silver 2001 Accord picking on a little red 95 - 98 Sentra SE .. he kept kicking his a$$ and slowing down and doing it again.. so i speed up and pass the sentra.. lined side by side with the accord i look over and yell .. "Pick on somebody your own size"... i see he has 1 other person in his car Total = 2 and i have 4 others Total = 5
Race 1
As i was yelling out the window.. Mr. Accord took off at about 40 mph.. took me up to 70 mph to be side by side.. by 90 i had 3 cars on him.. of course i have a bunch of 16 and 17 year old boys in the car so they are just hysterical... showing my a-hole nature, i stick my hand out the window and gesture for the accord to come on.. come on.. lets go..
Race 2
He flys by me again as i am holding third gear.. same result as the first race... did my gesture again... now i am getting ready to merge on to route 15 that turns into I-91 .. and this is a nice little 3 mile stretch.. and i am hoping and saying .. come on.. go 91.. lets go.. lets go...
Race 3 - The Big One
I get on route 15 and he is on my tail.. i am at WOT and the stupid guy he is.. doesn't draft me.. he tries to stay in the other lane..
90 mph - 1 car
100 mph - 3 cars
110 mph - 5 cars
130 mph - 8 cars
then i slow down .. and i see that he put his hazzards on.. and then i don't know if he pulled over .. or took the next exit.. but thats what he gets for messing with my little brother (sentra se)
i figured he might have took the next exit because when i got home i asked my gf if she saw a Silver 2k1 Accord on the side of the road and she said no.. being that she was behind us for a while
PS. I didn't even get to use my NOS on him

When do you ever do the speed limit?

I don't really see how you taught that Accord a lesson. Was it a V6? I mean, the Accord will still go around racing Sentras (and beating them). Only if the dude purposely picked a race with you and you beat him would you "teach him a lesson", which I think is rather pointless anyways. So what if you are faster? Used sensibly, fast acceleration is for merging into traffic safely, not for showing up other cars.
Drive safely.
Drive safely.

nothing a little juice can't handle 
keep in mind most S2000 owners are seeing mid 14's at the track.. nothing a properly driven NA 5spd Max can't handle...
and my juice will just blow an S2000 out the water ...

To get decent times out of a S200 you almost literally have to drive it like you don't own it, there is little engine strength down low. And you want to hear a funny kill story? This AM, I am in a 3 ambulance caravan going about 75 up Rt. 17 in NY. A person in a new TrailBlazer flies up and cuts off the ambulance in the lead. I get ****ed at this and decide to try to teach this guy a lesson. I accelerate and pass him, then get in front of him and slow him down. He jumps in the other lane and accelerates past me. I get the old girl up to about 95 and he is no longer pulling on me. I get the other two ambulances to accelerate up to that speed too and the three of us pass him. Must have been really embarrassing for him, because when we slowed down about 15 seconds later, he never tried to pass us. Oh, and screw the flames.

You guys
Medicsonic, SprintMax, man are you guys are alot of fun I'd like to hang with you both but with the extra-legal speeds we'd probably wind up at, I'd definitely lose my license!! I'm already banned in CT, got caught doing 120 on rt 95, they gave me a $320 fine, I paid it. Then, afer paying that fine, they decide to suspend my driving privileges in CT for a month and demand $150 MORE to restore it. That royally ****ed me off. I didn't pay that. Sorry, had to vent.
By the way, did you guys ever settle your score on 684, excuse the pun

You raced in your ambulance? From now on, I better be more aware of paramedic drivers like you.
Let me make sure, you guys didn't have any patients in the ambulances at the time, right?

Yes, no patients. Yes, it WAS a new TrailBlazer and as for 684? I might not be able to make it. If I don't then I accept my loss. And the reason for brake torquing? The PowerStroke makes about 95% of peak torque at 1600 rpms, something that you can hit with the torque converter from a stop. FEAR TURBODIESEL!!!!

If SprintMax had 4 people in his car vs. 2 in the Accord and still pulled that hard on the Accord and he was not spraying then it was probably a 4-cyl 5-spd model.
An Accord V6 is about as fast as a Maxima/auto and I doubt he would have pulled that much on a Max/auto...
Nice kills though!

If you don't want to do that or fry your clutch then you'll get mid-14's.

Actually my buddy in Stamford has an Accord v6 Coupe.. he also has a Ducatti Motorcycle and a GMC Typhoon so i don't talk **** to him.. but anyway..
when i was running 15.5 with a CAI i use to walk him on the highway no problems..
Since then i added a y pipe and ran 14.7 ... ALSO i have a straight pipe, no CAT .. so i am looking 14.4/14.5 even if it was a v6 he was getting walked like no tommorow..
oh by the way.. my gf has a 5spd I-4 .. it actually has more go after 110 than the v6 does.. #1 its in VTEC .. #2 that 5th Gear vs that 4th Overdrive .. #3 I raced my gf on the way to the club and she was doing a better job and she had 4 people in her car .. maybe she is a better driver?
