how bad is that lack of traction now that you are making much more power? do you ever wish that you had just bought an awd/turbo car insted of doing the swap? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

I don't really like to street race... But... Civics? They're a waste of my gas, but I've beaten a couple. The DX was a joke. The SI sorta kept up... but not really. CRX? He couldn't even keep up. Accords? My brother and I was messin with one this one type because he wouldn't leave us alone. Camaros? Haven't raced one yet. Stangs? Haven't raced one yet. Eclipses? Well, this one was funny. I was on my way home and this guy pulled right next to me. He stayed side-by-side with me for about 3 miles... instigating a race. I TRIED to ignore him by maintaining my speed at 70. So after about 3 miles... he revved on me... pulled forward about 2 car lengths... and slowed down again. By this time, I was getting irritated. I realized he wouldn't leave me alone until I gave him the pleasure of handing him his ass. So the GTS took off again, I gave him a car's length, I dropped into 3rd... and as I was passing him up... I feathered the gas... looked at him and gave him a thumbs up... and floored it. After I pulled on him... I saw him slow down... I guess he was embarrassed. But yeah... since I got my car back, I've only race about 4 or 5 cars. I've been instigated on by Honda's and Mitsu's many times... by I usually ignore them. One thing I like about MOST domestic owners is that they don't pull stupid crap like this. I almost raced a Prelude SH last night (I was in a bad mood... relationship problems)... I was behind the Lude... and he was driving 65... so I went on the fast lane... and as I was passing him... he downshifted as if he wanted to race. So I downshifted and blew-off on him a couple times. After he heard my bov, he reduced his speed. I reduced mine as well and waited... by he went even slower... then to the slow lane... and exited. I just laughed and went on with my merry way. |
