3.0cl vs 3000gt vr4 vs 3000gt sl
So my sister calls me up and tells me that her ex boyfriend wants to race me for 20 dollars. I agreed assuming that he had the same car he raced me in before (old thunderbird.) That night we met up and his thunderbird was no where to be seen. I asked him where his car was and he pointed to the black 91 vr-4 next to him. He asked if i still wanted to race and i told him to fuck off ;-) After a while, knowing that i was going to get slaughtered, i agreed to race him for the hell of it. While we came up to a light and had no traffic ahead, he revved to signal the race. Right before we took of, a while sl rolled up and heard our engines revving. He revved and we all took off as soon as the light turned green. Needless to say the vr-4 with its damn all wheel drive hooked up so fast he was 4 cars ahead of me by the time i crossed the intersection. We raced about a 3/4 of a mile, with the vr-4 ahead by countless car legnths and the sl behind me about 7. I am no longer putting any performance ANYTHING in my car. It is pointles. I say "all show and no go" I am going to race him in a month when i get my new r-1. Than we'll see who wins.

If he was not racing, than 120+ in a 45 is kind of fast for normal driving. In a perfect world i am sure he has the advantage, but driver error is a big factor in racing. I am sure everyone who has raced beat someone they "should have" lost to. I am not saying that i can smoke sl's all the time, just in this race he was behind quite a bit. Maybe he braked for the bend while myself and the vr4 did not.

Cuz the SL's are old... not running as strong anymore. <shrug>
