Stop waking me up for this BS.....you guys need a life, lol.

goo run don.. i guess the slicks really lowered your trap speed.. what was your 60ft by the way? i am curious what an LSD max with Slicks is running.. as the one above was done on DR's..

Re: Well...

How can it be faster than your old one? I didn't know that was you man. Remember I said I would run you eventually, but not during my break in when we met that time. My best time stock in that car was 14.8 at 94.6mph. Anyways, I no longer own that car, and basically stopped racing. Kinda got bored with it, and S.A., is becoming more of a kid/rice town with tons of useless powered cars.

RussMaxManiac, are you in San Antonio? This is Nick, I used to have the 2000GT, before I totalled it. I got a 2002, now with a downpipe and it's just a faster car period than my old one. I remember asking you if you wanted to race that one day and you said NO.... sux....

Anyways, i'm thinking of going 100 shot now, either way, i'm down for whatever. My next car is either going to be a Supra or VR-4, so i'm just having fun with this 3G GT.

Re: Xtreme

Oh man, that sucks! Watch out on 37 man, cops love that highway.

Cool bro, I don't go to the lame "race spots" here in San Antonio, I hardly street race anymore, because the tickets aren't worth it, but every once in a while, i'm down. We should meet up sometime and have a couple of good runs or two. I'm down for whatever.

As a matter of fact, after I posted this topic, I got a ticket on 37 past the alamodome, racing an "M3325i"...he had that badge on the back of his car....I walked him by 2 cars going 120...got a ticket clocked at 98....first ticket in a year and half, so NOT WORTH racing on the highway....for some car that I knew I could handle...

check the bottom of the page you saw the racing videos.. of the black maxima who handed Loren(SC Maxima) and Andi(SupraTT) their asses..
I'd like some of that **** you're smoking, my friend...

Yes that Maxima surprised me (a Maxima hanging with a 425rwhp Supra from 60 to 155 would surprise you too wouldn't it?!)... and I have nothing but compliments for Thomas' car... but I was 1/2 a car length ahead of him when I nailed the brakes (you can hear my tires screeching and ABSing) so as to keep Thomas from rear ending the car he was coming up on... since his brakes were faded to **** at that point.

Chris Turner was the one filming that race from inside my car, you can ask him.... since you can't see what happens at the end as the camera pans forward... but he saw it with his own eyes. And I'm sure Thomas will say the same as he was in the next lane seeing me starting to pull ahead slightly in 5th as I said above.

1) Are you blind? In the exact video you posted, you can see that I pulled evenly with him till the camera pans forward.. and like I said, while the camera is panned forward, I get 1/2 a car on him. You can ASK the people that were there -- Chris and Thomas -- and they will say the same. Thomas pulled 1/2 a car on me in 4th, I pulled it back in 5th (as you see on the video) and then pulled a 1/2 a car on HIM after the camera pans forward. It would appear that he had better power to weight at lower speeds but I had him on power vs. aero to slowly crawl away once we got into 5th.

2) Walk me? Where do you see ANYBODY walking? Do you not HEAR my blow off valve and tires screeching at 0:21?

3) Like I said, ASK the parties involved before talking out of your A$$. I'm sure you just thought you'd post that he "handed me my A$$" thinking I'd never see it... just own up to talking out of your A$$ and let's move on......

With 10,000 registered members, it's difficult for some of them to control themselves in posts and construct sentences that make sense and include a subject, verb, and object.

It's the lowest common denominator effect.......

Damn! I am impressed with that time. I remember back in the day people said they were slower than the GST. Was that true?

1604/Nacodoches Road, near Rolling Oaks Mall. People hang out in that Walmart Parking lot, if they get kicked out, they go to Albertsons down the road.

I have never since 1995 been pulled over on Naco. If you are doing something bad and get caught, they will pull you over.

14.725

Russ, they aren't slower than the GS-T at all stock for stock, but once a GS-T gets a boost controller, it's all over for the GT.
