in the last month, i've had about 3-4 races worth mentioning. i usually post long, detailed stories, but i don't feel like typing much right now. my car: porsche 951. few mods. 270 hp, 290 lb/ft. torque. dec. 22 (my birthday)- i was headed out of town with my sister and my friend down to santa fe (50 miles away) for last minute christmas shopping and to get myself a birthday present. as we make our way out of town, i see a yellow integra. me and my friend immediately think "could this be the elusive type-R?". it was. had larger than stock wheels, subtle stickers near the wheel wells. i hung out behind him until we made our way out of town and onto the main hill. i get to the bottom, where we both start to take off. i pass him and take it up to maybe around 90 mph. let him start to catch up, then i downshift again and take off. the race was basically me waiting for him to catch up so i could take off. repeat process a few times. i'm not surprised that i beat him. i'm assuming he was stock. my car is also factory turbocharged and has those nice porsche gears going for it. i assumed he would've done slightly better though because my car stock, is 2900 lbs. his is 2600? i had an extra 300 lbs due to my passengers. last week? - me at stoplight with my sister, honda civic in left lane. girl driver, automatic tranny, 2 friends. and it's a civic, but i could've sworn it was an integra when it first pulled up (it was fairly dark out). no intentions of racing, until the girl tried to jump the light. as always, i wait until the green. i take off and get a little sideways down the road because it's cold and my tires are worn. i zip down the road and onto the bridge. the light up ahead is red, so i slow. civic girl doesn't and catches up, passing me, until i downshift. i could've sworn she was going to run the light too. light goes green, i put it in first, catching up. can't do anything though because the road is now one lane with no passing. down the road i fly by her when the road is dotted line. after that, she'd just tailgate me (obviously she doesn't have enough power to pass me) this race and mucking around took place for about 10 miles. my sister has a class with the civic girl and told her it was us racing her that night. i wasn't surprised that i beat her and neither was she. she's been insisting that her supercharged pontiac grand prix or grand am or whatever is faster, but i know it's not. i'm not proud of beating a civic, i'm just glad i got to race. this weekend (saturday)- i was cruising down to santa fe with my sister and her friend with some new wheels crammed in the back of my car (i was getting new tires). i see some red lump up the road and decide to catch up. it was a riced out eclipse. 2nd? generation or whatever the smooth ones are that aren't the newest ones, like 1995 year or something. GS model. just by the looks of this guys car i figured he'd be up for a race. hmmm...he had a big sticker on the back window that said "Team Viscious" (some local car club. 5 lame points in my book for that) brake light stickers or covers that made "mitsubishi" appear when you braked (5 more lame points) an ugly orange-red paint job, lowered, some ackward looking spoiler, lots more stickers on the front windshield. overall, the guy gets about 15-20 lame points from me. anyways, i catch up and zip by at around 80 mph. i slow down up the road and i see him doing what appears to be speeding up. apparently, he is. i wait for him, then get down into 4th gear, taking it up to about 120. the occurs for about a mile or 2 until we start to get into town, where i lay off (somewhat). i dont want to be running into in vans with a family of five and careening off the road into an orphanage, thus setting on fire. i let the guy pass and i give him a thumbs up, but he gives me the "at least my car looks more "tite" than yours" look (or something to that extent) in town we're kind of spaced out, but i shoot forward through traffic just to get around some cars. the next intersection the light is red. i'm in the middle lane, he's in the right. my lane was free until putted up in front of me. left lane was free, but i didn't take it. i was just under the impression that he wouldn't race now because i had already beat him. i'm behind him and the light turns green. he didn't take off fast (i don't think) so i just hung out behind him. i regret not taking the free lane next to him at the stop light. i've been averaging about a race a week these days. it's rather nice i suppose. send me your lobsters, folks! |

not yet. i'm as fast, if not faster than an SS. i had 6 races on friday though. one was definately awesome, with the two of us side by side, flying down the road at 130+ mph. i'll probably make another post about that. |
