I got a chance to play a little with my friend's '93 3000GT VR4 today. We were heading toward a place for lunch. We were leaving from school and drove down the long stretch of road where everyone that went to this school needed to take. Anyway, it wasn't much of a race, it was pretty short too. As I was driving next to him, I slowed down to get him to race, we were both going around 20mph. Well, he punched it before I did, so he got a jump on me. I never catched back up, at around 50mph, he already had 1 car length on me. We had to slow down because of traffic, if not, he would have even more car lengths on me. Having an automatic didn't help. I need my VB! There was a newer Mustang GT that was in front of my friend who he almost hit. My friend said the Mustang GT guy reved at him, but didn't race; maybe because the lack of room(traffic). I think he would have kill that GT anyway. I been in his car before and he killed a number of GTs already. To sum it up, I have this to say: I NEED MY SUPERCHARGER! 
Oh well, at least I could carry more people in my car. Plus, my car looks better because his car looks like crap now, only thing that he has going for him is that it's FAST!

Some guy with a Dodge Stealth kept egging me on to race him today for some reason. As luck would have it we kept both hitting the red lights together and he kept revving on me and flooring it at every green light. He had the ES model.. Coudn't race him cuz too much traffic and I was with my wife.
What are the stat's on the Stealth ES? Anyone know?

Just got the VB! Are you free tomorrow? It might rain tomorrow, so your place would be a better place to do the VB because you got a garage with shelter.

92Zex: I don't know the spec of the Stealth ES, I wonder is that similiar to a 3000GT SL? Anyway, next time if you're not with your wife, go hunt that sucker down and give him a taste of the "special" sauce.
On the subject of my friend with the VR4, I somehow don't think he has much respect for a Maxima. Even though he never said it to my face, everytime I talked to him about racing, I sense that he's quite cocky. I mean, a NA auto Maxima vs. a VR4 isn't exactly a fair matchup, right? I told him wait for me to get my supercharger install, then we'll race again and I think I should able to take him. His thinking was that even with a supercharger, the best I could do is "hang" with him. I don't know about that, we will see.
Matt, you want to setup a race between you and my friend? Even though he's my friend, I would be very happy if you can KICK HIS ***! Some people need to get a reality check, there are always faster cars out there.

Well, like I said, we did have a bit of traffic. Plus, I know he didn't really push it. However, with his car much powerful than mine, don't you think he should have let me punch it first? Even though it might not make any difference, his car is much more powerful than mine, so shouldn't be a big deal to let me go first, right?
Yes, I do have an auto 4th gen, but I do have some mods. So, at the very least, I won't lose to him by like 10 car lengths.
