All,

Today I got what I consider my 1st official kill. A BMW 325i, last body syle, not the current one. I was leaving my house going back to work and I hit the last stop light before entering a 25 mile stretch in a rural area. A green bimmer with huge rims pulls up beside me and revs his engine. He was driving an auto and so was I. I nod. Light goes green and we go. I gotta admit, he got me on takeoff and jumped to about a 1/2 car length lead. I had some slippage but I make up the difference fast. By 70 MPH, i've got him by that same 1/2 car length so I keep it floored, by 115 MPH, i've got him by 1 1/2 car lengths and I am still pulling strong. By 130 MPH, he's waaay back and flashes me. I really expected him to be on me at least up to 120 but he was toast. I guess he was all show and no go.

Tight!! Sounds like you had fun.
I haven't been able to race mines yet against anyone yet and I had the car for about 5 months now..

good kill, check this..

.. it was the end of the day and i was going home. since my last racing ticket i have vowed only to race cars i am not sure i can beat (no more Hondas). i pull behind a stock camaro SS, u know the one that comes with 320 hp from the factory. the light turns green and i figured i would just give him the legendary nismo pass. i guess he heard my exhaust cause as soon as i started to get in to it he gun the SS. the *** end squated down and smoke came out the dual exhaust and it was on. the closest i got was a half car length to his back bumper. after 60 or 70 mph his simply pulled. oh well maybe after my UPRD ECU i'll get him.

Somehow I think you need much more than just an UPRD ECU to get that SS. NOS? Supercharger? Both?

I'd have to agree



HAHAhaha @ Nismo2020
Atleast you tried man.. But cumalot has a point. You'd need alot of upgrades to mess with him.
Oh yeah Nismo2020 have you been able to get the number for that place I had posted?, for your ECU..

I hope I haven't...

gotten the fever, where I live is a great place to street race and there are sick curves further out in the county. This morning I found myself revving my engine when I pulled along side this honduh on my way to work, but he didn't want any. Is it time for me to start looking into mods?!?
