Infinity FX45........... smoked me pretty badly on tha freeway..... we started at 65mph and he took me by at least 3 car lengths up to 120! He was takin' the twisties pretty good!!!
350Z conv......... On 880 San Jo he was tailgating me so I pulled to the right to let him pass but he slowed down and paced me...I slowed down to about 55mph, dropped it in 2nd and took off! I had him by 3+ car lengths so I slowed back down to 60 and let him pass me. I took of and caught him @ 90mph and pulled up to 115 and was 2 car lengths. I think he was stock......
SRT-4........... Started on tha bay bridge with him zig zagging thru cars tryin to pass me.. We finally had open road and I pulled on him pretty good I had a good lead on him(don't know how close because i was concentrated on drivin') but slowed down on some curves and he passed me and kept goin'. I caught up again and passed him doin 120+(pretty scary) I decided to ease off(I already beat him twice)but he kept goin... He must have been doin 130+.... It seems I got the jump but he would slowly catch up(turbo lag?)

 

nice! do you think that fx was also modded?

 

I don't think so it had new car plates..... It's like 330hp all wheel drive i think

 

Not to be a total downer, but, the CHP got 4 MILLION dollars for extra traffic enforcement-especially speeding and racing, because innocent bystanders or drivers are killed far too often.
New laws: Special driving zones- you have seen the white signs- 55- headlights ON by law.
double $$ fine and double points on record- same as construction zones.
72 in a special 55 = $451 PLUS not eligble for driver school.

IF you were spotted by one of the many traffic cameras or these new stealth bikes.....white BMWs in my area, with Officers wearing white shirt and helmet- look like any other rider- sneaky
If you recall a few years ago, the next in line to be King of Tonga was killed by a driver on 101 by the SFO airport, they never proved racing but the 17 year old girl in a new Mustang 5.0 clipped the front corner of an Explorer coming into its lane at higher speed and it rolled....end of story for 3 people minding their own business on the road. Manslaughter conviction.
Also- if they see you in any sort of exhibition of speed- like hi rev launch or even passing on the freeway on ramp is considered `racing`, now they can say it was reckless driving with its $2500 fine- yikes

Please- come to a track day at Thunderhill or Infineon or Laguna- I wouldnt start at Laguna-tricky track to learn on, for $150 to $250 for a full day on racetrack with a professional race driver as your co-pilot, you learn speed and control and will drive harder in 20 minute sessions than you have ever driven
Its all about full throttle to the brake point- apex- accellerate full throttle brake max effort accellerate- turn brake go fast brake turn go fast
Some of the instructors are also in law enforcement, when they are helping a beginner, its a great feeling to pass a cop as he waves you by at 100+ !

 

hmm that's weird cause, they stock they run 0-60 in 6.3s, and 1/4mile in 15s flat.

"Powered by a 315-hp version of the 4.5-liter Q45 V-8, coupled to a five-speed automatic transmission with obedient manumatic override, the FX45 rushes to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 15 seconds flat at 93 mph."

That's why we were wondering if he had mods . Those FXs are fast 0-60 .

 

I am suprised you lost to the FX. I would have expected the Z to give you a run for your money not the FX lol.

 

where u from man??

 

Faster times have the FX45 in the mid 14s:

Road and Track

....though the FX35 has more mod potential, with respect to the VQ35DE powertrain (a la Z and G35).

 

San Fran! I'll Be at the meet next week in foster city!

 

Maybe they have better top end? I don't know but that thing was flyin'!

 

14.6s@96mph, that's pretty much the same trap speed as a 2nd gen TL-S according to C&D. If you are modded and you couldn't beat it, either your car has some problem (which I doubt since you rape 350z and others on pretty much a daily basis), or that FX is modded.

Lol I'm thinking if it's possible it was a FX35 with a FX45 badge and a stillen supercharger, if that's the case..then no wonder you lost.

 

Nice...

do you race a lot?

 

I don't know if it was modded but it could have been his AWD and the twisties.... I wouldn't see how someone would want to mod a FX....why not just get a G35 or G37? It would be a total sleeper though!

 

I try not to.......

 

do you ever see me around in SF? how come i never see a moddded TL or CL in SF. weakk.

 

ohhh sorry i kinda missed the twisties part haha...yea fx's do have really good handling.

 

if u do, just let me know

 

Are you going to tha meet next sat?

 

I don't know, I see many Black 2g t.l's. I work around 19th ave.... I ran into this modded silver t.l around there and played a little on Lincoln ave. headed toward the beach........ He couldn't keep up but all I know is he had exhaust..

 

^^ there's a silver 2nd gen. H badges and exhaust and rims.. really clean. Also has Honda of America badges.. from SF as well... coulda been him?

 

He has a body kit & some 18" with exhaust.....

 

I am always in the sunset. the only modded TL i see is a white TL-S with honda inspire badge on the rear always parked in richmond, see it around geary and i see one on 19th ave by ortega looks like a kit lowered on stockies..but forgot wut color it was. then theres a green acura tl debadged rear with oem kit always park around 23rd and quintara. does anyone ever see me around in SF? i drive like 40 miles per day in SF.

 

That sounds like my boy Duc..........Green T.L stock rims oem kit......

 

is he fat and chubby?

 

Yeah bald head dude, owns Blu ice entertainment........ cool ass guy!

 

I see them all the time...?

You never see me on 19th? Do you know of a white later model 2G with kit, debadged, and a smashed front lip from when he was racing us and hit a raccoon or something on 19th, haha?

I thought that was a girl... I saw her a few times at CCSF.

~Cheers~

Is Mikey still around? Haven't seen that dude in awhile.

~Cheers~

 

^ o for real.. is should say hi to him sometimes.. see him pretty often.. nope i never see a 1st gen TL. dont really notice them.. because theres never a fixed up 1st gen TL/CL. or they never try to make themself noticeable

 

I'm the only one in the area, well, one of two but the other guy's like my twin. Only difference is that his is lowered with some black rims and mine is stock height on Lude rims. That and about 60 lb/ft of torque, 50 HP, and 40 db, haha. You can hear me pretty easily. This 07 SLK thought I was racing when I just rolled off the line. Still pulled it, though, haha. Used to see (and still do) modded 1G CLs all the time. Just saw a black CL yesterday with that hood that removes the grill. Kinda weird looking IMO, but I'm guessing it does help for mileage.

~Cheers~

 

LOL... nah bro, you getting it twisted.. It's a guy, Mild7blues, on the forum. He's parting out the 2nd gen TL.. Some crazy mods are commin in..

you guys are talking about 19th, where's that? all i know is 7th on oakland.. Place scares the shit outta me.

 

19th ave in San Fran........ it's the main way to get to the golden gate bridge..... also it's a hot spot for motorcycle cops( I see them giving tickets all the time)

 

I never get hit with a motorcycle, although the other night, I raced a UC, haha. Pulled on the Oldsmobile hard from a roll after giving him a couple cars head start. As I passed him doing 90 in front of State, he hit the lights and siren, haha. I went to the right and slowed, only to have the passenger lean out with his badge and yell, "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!!"

Scared me for a minute, I though I'd get a speed contest or at least an EoS!

I swear to God it was a girl driving!! She had parked over by the 76 on Ocean while I walked to get the POS Buick rental I had. Maybe his GF?

~Cheers~

 

^ i knew your avatar looked familiar. your right by ocean beach right?

anyone ever spot me in SF? I am always in sunset. I am tired of seeing a TL/CL. everytime its like a young age guy. (ages between 16-25) they always want to race me. Or they just want to show off their car to me.

 

Yup.

I might've seen you... But I'm usually in a rush to get somewhere, so I might've not noticed. Do you still have an Acura grill? If so, then I think I saw you the other day near Taraval on 19th. There was another TL in front of you or something while you were in the right lane. I was in the left lane.

Then quit looking in the vanity!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

~Cheers~

 

You going to the meet on sat?

 

I'm suprised you beat a SRT.... aren't those just as fast as Evo's/sti's?

 

nope.. didnt go. had work.

 

^ we gotta do some runs on great highway!!
