so i'm driving home from the other side of the bay around 1115 pm this evening on a lonely bridge. i notice some high beams flashing in my rear view and i assume another ricer fly by is going to ensue (this happens to me ALL the time).

anyways, a kid in a 1st gen g35 sedan (auto) pulls up beside me and asks if my car was in super street magazine? i felt like saying, "damn, didn't know i was famous" lol.

we did a friendly run from about 55-95mph and i pulled about 1.5 ahead of him. honestly, i felt like going faster because it's been soooo long but we both kinda shut down as another car was a few hundred yards up ahead. we exchanged a few short words, a smile, and head on our respective ways

i attribute this victory, if you can even call it that, to throttle response: pulleys, hondata, and my custom 4-1 header got me in front and kept me there. fyi, i was in ss but don't know about him.

it was definitely an adrenaline rush to get a little competitive and hit vtec, which i haven't done in weeks (not kidding).

stay safe,

vinny

ps. if all goes as planned, the tsx will be in another's hands this sunday

 

Nice run.. Why are you getting rid of the TSX though??

 

traded for an s2k yesterday! it's the car of my dreams and i've been ready to move from the tsx for a while now since the thrill is basically gone. finished project = search for new challenges

 

I've been wanting to find a first gen "G" to run ever since I got my blower, and I still haven't found a willing participant... meh. Nice run Vin.

 

you should have your way with the 'g'

 

Nice! I took a 1st gen G35 coupe in my 05 TL and I was all stock except for a drop-in K&N filter. He either didnt know how to drive or shift but I was about 1.5 in front too. Now, my own pops is my next match...my 08 TL-S vs his 06 G35 coupe with Nismo intake. Who will win?

 

Traded in my TSX and got my S2K this past Saturday and I'm in love with it! Now I know what vtech is really supposed to be. See ya on S2KI!
