2 races today :)

The first one was a Fiero. I dont know the specs on these old cars, but I do know that I whooped his a$$ from a complete stop at a stoplight. I didn't even know we were racing, I was justing accelerating 3/4 way so I could cut in front of him because I had to make a right turn soon and that was when I noticed he was trying to keep up. It was cool though because at the next stoplight he smiled and gave a thumbs up before parting ways. My second race was the best. It was against a last generation BMW 328 from what I could see. It occured at around 12:30 AM and we were just messing around from a rolling start at speeds of 40+. When I turned to my right, I saw the passenger look over at me with a grin on his face and that was when I knew it was on so I gave him the thumbs up and we both gunned it. It wasn't a surprise that he kept up with me in 2nd gear and even edged me out a little bit, but when I shifted to 3rd in ss mode I just walked right by him. I ended up shutting down at about 85mph. There were no other cars both times present. All in all it was fun times even though I am driving a luxury sedan, it is nice sometimes to give it a run with strangers on the road.

Good kills, the other day I was pushing my car for fun and a Solara tried to play (I don't know what he was thinking). I blew him off by 3 cars

i enjoy some spirited driving once in a while ...and sometimes its more fun when your the underdogg. Anyway i was driving a good clip when out of no where i see this benz coming up fast . Ok he blows by me and then slows down and waited for me ...hes in the passing lane mind you. ok ill take the bait ....so i hitt Vtec range now and im gone ....hes in pursuit now. Im in the 120 range now and of coarse hes still pushing hard having a 8 cyl and blows by me at about 130+.... theres no catching him now. i think i would have faired better if i had kept the car in third n not let it up shift to fifth.........does anyone know what the top speed in third gear is on the TLS ?

I hear its 110s and anything passed that will redline it which will cause the fuel shut-off.
