Schooled an Integra: VQ Power!

Tonight, on my way home, I was on Interstate 91 South in CT going at my usual speed of around 80mph when I see these lights coming up from behind rather quickly. I slowed down and let the car pass - it was an Integra with Altezzas, a coffee can muffler and, I think, a wing (I say "I think" because I wasn't behind him for long so I didn't get a good look).

There was a big clearing so I lined up with the Integra and saw that he was ready to play. We both punched it and I immediately shot out in front and continued to walk another 2 car lengths. We switched lanes and I walked him Another 4 car lengths! 100mph... 110mph... 120mph... 130mph! There was no way he was going to catch up from 6 car lenghts behind and growing.

I flashed my emergency lights and slowed down, letting him pass. I gave him a good 5-7 car lengths then punched it again. I came up to his rear pretty quickly and flashed my high beams. He moved over so I could pass him!

As we passed the second time, he was giving me a huge thumbs up and I gave him a wave. After getting about 4 car lengths ahead again, I shut down, flashed my emergencies one last time, and slowed down.

He zoomed by and flashed his in return. All-in-all, it was a good race.

hehe...nice kill

I had a run-in with a GS-R last weekend only this guy was being a complete azz zig-zagging, cutting people off, and tailgating. He was less than half a car-length behind me at 80 freakin mph

Anyways, we got to a clearing and of course he zipped out to the other lane. I punched it from 4th and put about 1-2 cars on him up to 110 when I had to shut it down for traffic, and I closed his little door on him so he had to stay behind me. He wasn't too happy after that, especially after I flashered him and flipped him the

We were travelling at about 80mph when we both punched it. I haven't taken on an Integra off of the line before so I don't know how that would turn out. I'm pretty sure the Maxima would destroy it in that case too.

Have you tried to take your friends GS-R off the line before?

I knew how to manually shift, and he was shocked on how I was able to stay ahead of him from the launch to 80mph. We ran 4 times and I walked him each time. Wht2kmax(Jason) walks me after 2nd since he had Y-Pipe and intake, Confused(Brett) walks Jason and myself...before his S/C.

-Congrats on The Kill.
Nice. So the Y-Pipe and intake really make a big difference? I thought those things were more psychological than anything (because of the noise).

What did Confused do, before his supercharger, to walk the two of you?
