So I'm driving home from work two days ago when this red GSR pulls up next to me, gives me a dirty look, and tries to take off. I easily pulled ahead of him to about a car length by 100, then slowed down and did it again on the bottle, this time by over 10 car lengths. The guy pulled up next to me and his buddy was staring at my car and they were talking back and forth, I don't think they expected a Max to pull on them like that. So we go back and forth a couple more times when this yellow porsche Carrera pulls up next to me in the car pool lane and then floors it. I tried keeping up NA, but he was slowly but surely pulling away. I waited till he got to 3 car lengths before I hit the switch. I think I caught him in the middle of shifting because I immediatly caught up to his bumper, then slowly started inching up on him. We got up to about 130 (the GSR dispeared in the background lmfao) And then we shut it down because of traffic. He had a buddy in the car also who was looking back at me, must of felt pretty stupid with a Maxima on his a$$, but I don't think he was a very good driver, especially not with his shifting...

 

funny..i guess

 

wow good job

 

NIce, nice very nice. Great Kills, what year was that porsche?

 

Good job! Gotta love the 100 shot! So now you drive with the bottle open huh?

 

Thanks Everyone...
Synki, I'm only running the 80 shot right now! I turn the bottle on once in a while when I'm in the mood, just happened to be a good day!

 

Ahhhh NOS, the great equalizer....

You miss Cali yet bud?

 

I don't think so. I find it very hard to believe you beat an Integra GSR with your Auto and WITHOUT NOS. Now if you had the NOS on the first time and you beat him, I would belive you. You can't beat a stock GSR with your AUTO w/o NOS. Trust me. Unless he can't drive, you would lose. I have both cars in my family and can attest. Sister has a GSR I have posted about here and I know she can beat my auto 95se. Sorry....

Maybe he can't shift! He could be a anxious teenager who nervously screwed up the shifting, while the max shifted perfectly (auto)

 

But I doubt it. My siter can't shift all that great. She bogs on the start and does lift throttle shifts and she beat me. Now she didn't beat me by much--not even a car length, but she beat me. Don't give me the crap that I can't drive an auto. Lets see...hold brake and rev to 1.5-2k. Release brake and floor it...that's simple, right!

I think that story is inflated a bit...that's all.

 

Bro, you know you can manually shift your auto right ?

Mmmmmm, the automatic has nice 1st and 2nd gear torque

Try it!

 

manually shifting the auto does very little if anything based on my experiences. Thanks for suggestion though.

SHUMAX

 

lol...yeah right. I don't think mtrai is stock, so even without NOS, it is possible for him to beat a GSR.


mtrai: get him!

 

Maybe but I disagree based on my own experiances.

I personally love the jumpidy jump my AUTOMAGIC 1st gear gives me.

 

 

I pulled up to a porsche carrera 4S the other day.. black with a body kit, double wing, carrera 4S sticker on the side and he heard me coming cuz he slowed down to get next to me.. i was really embarrassed, i didnt even try to race the guy.. i dont think i could read his license plate by the time i intended on flooring it.. sooo fast.

 

You wuss

 

Hey--I didn't know he was modded. I have a Cattman CAI and a complete Stillen exahust yet I still lost to a stock GSR. So unless he has Turbo or a Supercharger, he can't have much more than me---except NOS. We already went through the part about him winning with it on--so we are still assuming he won it with it off. I am disputing that part. I have mods on my auto max and I lost by about 3/4 of a car to 80. By 85 she (sister in her GSR) was pulling on me.

It matters not. We all have different experiences. I just can't believe he won by that much without NOS, that's all.

 

I'm gonna agree with the GSR story.

Here's why,
I was at Seattle International Raceway yesterday taking part in a lapping day. We finally got down to the Time Trials. They let the GSR go then 15 seconds or so later they let me go. I caught up to him immediately and then just stayed on his rear the whole time. Needless to say I couldn't get ahead of him on the front stretch which is the only place we were allowed to pass. When we were done with our 4 laps I went up to him to congratulate him on the session. He told me he couldn't believe that I was able to keep up with him the whole time. I was soooooo pumped. Oh yeah, I'm stock. Except with F/R strut braces and Sprint's.



Lapping day is something that everyone needs to take part in at least once in their lifetime!!

 

Hmm... Das Ok, I don't believe half of the race stories I read either. Ive got a digital camcorder, but I'm kinda scared to record and drive that fast at the same time just asking for trouble, and I don't drive fast with passengers, so... ANYWAY, I did not claim to beat him from a stop, we were already on the freeway going about between 75 and 80. To clarify, I did not wait for him to get the jump on me, I never said that, he pulled up even, then we went. Right off the bat I got about 1/2 a car length on him, then pulled till he was on my bumper by 100. I don't know if he was auto or stick, or what mods if any he had, looked pretty stock to me. Except for the UDP, I pretty much have every major mod done, Intake, Exhaust, etc... and I got down to a 14.9 with just intake and Y-pipe on $25 tires... Is it so hard to believe 10 car lengths on him was with an 80 shot of NOS, I didn't expect him to keep up, even with mad mods, I don't make up kill stories, I don't have to. I'll try to get vids in the future, but until I find a way to mount the camera, I don't think it's gonna happen (gotta find a place to host it too...)

 

That doesn't make sense man. You just said you couldn't get past him. Yet you agree? <Shaking my head> Let me say it again....you couldn't get by the GSR, yet you agree with this "GSR STORY?" Confused...

SHUMAX

 

Umm, I'm sorry, But I honestly don't get what your trying to say... I never said I couldn't get past him, I said I was past him, off the bottle by a car length at 100mph and still accelerating when I hit the switch and let the NOS flow. Does that make sense? I'm not going to try and argue with you if you don't believe me, it's okay, I'm not offended, I was just trying to share a story with everyone, some found it interesting, I'm sure others did not, but I have no reason to lie, I know many people on this board, I would just be making a fool of myself...

 

I don't belive the guy who just said he was out racing and hit a
straight away and wasn't able to pull on the GSR. He then said he would have to support the "GSR" story---i.e your story.

Let it stand. I don't believe that a modded AUTO maxima can beat a stock 5spd GSR that can drive. I am sorry, but having both cars EXACTLY as described in my family, I can make the test 1 billion times if I wanted. To date I have done it at least a dozen with VERY similar results. To hear you say you beat the GSR by a car at 100 not using anything more than your CAI and exhaust, I don't believe you. Everytime I get about 85 my sisters GSR pulls on me, not me on her.

Now, I am not naive---maybe the guy couldn't shift. But I have heard that stupid excuse so many times, it makes me want to puke---other guy couldn't shift.

You hit the nail on the head. No sense arguing with eachother. We both had different experiences. Next time tape it. I think that I might try that with my situation for others to see.

good luck on the NOS---hope your tranny holds.

SHUMAX

 

its all fun and games. byt the way how the heck do you shift manuel with an auto would'nt that srew up your tranny

 

Maybe you sell your Max. Constantly getting your *** handed by your sister must not be a good feeling.

 

I think I will buy a new Altima and rip her a new one. Actually scratch that. The next new car I buy in this class will be a CL-S 6spd. Outside of that class? A supercharged S2k.


Get my *** handed to me...<laughing>

Sheeeeitttt.

 

gsr are slow..

 

hehe...so do you getting any rip from your sister? I know if my sister beats me, she'll be all over me. Good thing she drives a '00 Accord V6, which I can beat easily.


The Maxima is good and all, but my plan is find a MKIV SupraTT and fix that up.

 

I don't shift manually...

 

Next car I want is a 6 speed S4....

 

maybe his car is in better condition than yours, there are many times when one car can take another car that many believe impossible to beat. i for one have done it, my friend doesn't believe that my 2001 auto with jus intake can beat his modded prelude type SH, he has the intake, plugs, exhaust, vtec controller, nice setup. but i tried twice racing him off the line, jus regular o/d off and then switch to on, and i had two passengers once, the other time one, and everytime i always beat him by at least a foot or two. he's a pretty good driver but my auto beats his manual type sh anytime, friends there to prove it. plus the GSR is no type-R, if he had said he pulled on a type-R i wouldn't believe it. he has no reason to lie about beating a GSR. good kill.

 

Ask coolmax and Mismosh if my car is in bad shape. I am lauhging at that thought, pal. My car is probably the cleanest/well kept exaplme you have seen in a while.

Thanks for the thought though...

SHUMAX

 

My theory on the GSR

Maybe he just had a GSR sticker on his car..... OOORRRR get this! maybe he WAS a GSR but he gave up his GSR motor to get $$$ and traded it for the beautiful Honda 1.6L 116hp (sumthin silly like that)

hey you never know, it could be a Civic with an Integra body.. just like that Civic with the C-Class body that someone posted before

seriously, with Hondas and Acuras you never know wtf they are... so many stickers ya kinda get lost...

 

Thank You...

 

Heck ya.

 

Off-the-line? Highway speeds is where VTEC kicks in. Besides, the Max has much more tq than the 'lude so obviously you'd win off-the-line.

 

SHUMAX Let it go already! What is your problem? You don't believe me? Point taken, fine, you don't believe me, but you don't have to make it your crusade to prove to everyone how wrong I am and how right you are. Fine you right, I didn't beat him, he whooped on me like no tomorrow, hell, I don't even own a maxima, I drive a ford festiva, the NOS'ed Maxima is my Moms car. Are you happy now, can you let this go, you seem to want to make a personal effort to discredit me, well I have neither the time, nor the need to defend myself against your bad races against your sisters car. The GSR ran a 15.5 1/4 mile and ran 0-60 in 7.1 seconds stock, I beat that with just an intake. Perhaps if I posted just stories about cars I lose to you'll be happy? Please just read the post and move along, add your $.02, don't make it an effort. I read post all the time I don't believe, I usually don't comment. People here know when someones lying, they usually flame the $hit out of them like you are doing to me, but you are the only one here doing that. I guess I should have posted that I spanked a Viper, maybe I would get some more negative feedback from more than just one person, I'm sorry your sisters GSR is faster than jOO, but ya don't have to take it out on me. That is all, I am done, please read and move along...

 

this is a believable story, and i believe your car is in great condition too shumax, im just saying jus because you can't beat a car doesn't mean another car can't. and plus VTEC kicks in at 5,500 rpms on the prelude so off the line he can still hit VTEC on every gear for about 2,500 rpms before the next shift. but i can keep up with them on the freeway too. never tried racin on the freeway but i bet it wouldn't be that hard. so lets end all this non-believing and believe in the MAXIMA community.

 

I believe you mtrai... its not hard to believe...

I beat a Porsche Boxster last week seriously, i mean the driver sucked but I beat him all the same... its not hard to picture a slightly modded auto beating a GSR, they arent anything special
