What other cars have you walked all over?

I wouldn't mind hearing both SC kills as well as non SC kills.

I took a 96-98 GT on the highway when I was stock. I'd imagine that off the line any lightly modded max would probably get beat though. Find them on the highway and take them. I also took a 99 or new convertible GT on the highway when he started laughing at my car, but he had 2 passengers and the top down. Don't care though, serves him right for laughing at me when I wasn't looking at him.

I've only beaten a couple, mostly on top end. Usually, if they know what they're doing they can get you off the line, but they have nothing after 60 mph.

This weekend I was in the car with my dad and this guy in a turbo Talon seemed real impatient with my dad. After tailgating for a while (we were at 80 already..) he got on the right lane and blasted off through an interchange...my dad followed. He wasnt real familiar with the bend so he went through it easy, the Talon was going through the bend VERY fast.

Immediately after the bend theres a pretty good size slope and thats where it was all over. Out of the interchange we were probably 20 car lengths behind him (literally). We gained that length very quickly through the slope...he looked like he was sitting still. Not that great a kill but i guess its one lol

Hey SFMax20SE how did you do against the IS300? I was wondering because I admit, my IS doesn't do so well off the line. But what hurts me the most agaist cars is the fact that my car shifts too smooth. I bet I can shave off some time from 0-60 if the car would just shift right into gear. My Max felt much quicker, but the IS from 70 to 100 is quite an experience. Handling is phenomenal and quick lane changes at 80 are effortless.

Hey rll96se,
With no mods, I was ahead by 1 car in a 2 block race. I did not start pulling on him until 2nd gear. The gearing on the Max is also terrible. I can't wait to get Don's VB mod installed. I've heard 1/4 mile time improving by .5 sec with this mod. The Max is like a big a$$ boat in stock trim when it comes to handling, but with just the RSB and FSTB, you'd be surprised My brother borrowed my car one day and he bet a GS400 through some twisties
