Re: Highway "race"

nice kill, but the RSX type S is not even a challange, i mean you have like 80hp more then than that car. That car does weigh around 2800 but that doesn't really help against winning a G

Re: Highway "race"

You should go post this in http://forums.clubrsx.com ....they take everything to the heart. Some one was braging about that they had beat a EVO8 off the line, then they got mad when people tell them of course you beat a EVO8 with a kid driving(when the hole thing started at a high school). Im not saying youngens cant drive, im only 17 my self.

Re: Highway "race"

just leave those guys alone, once they came on an altima forum and started a big fight, me and them had some harsh words. Nobody insults our engines like that and gets away from it, anyway i got to go and do some college english, l8r

Re: Highway "race"

Funny that you were racing down I-88. Some guy in a Focus SVT though that it would be cool to pass me at like 90 between 59 and Farnsworth (good stretch of road by the way). I caught up and we both punched it. It was funny. I wasn't expecting how hairy it felt going 130 with the windows down and the sunroof open though. Definitly much more stable with all glass shut! Needless to say, I got the much-deserved nod-of-approval from the Focus guy when he caught up at the toll booth.

Re: Highway "race"

Last week on the canyon roads East of Dublin, CA I got behind an M4. There is absolutely no way to safely pass on these roads so I tucked in behind him. It was clear he was giving it all he had, and we were paired up the whole way. Eventually he went one way and I went another; he gave me a wave as we split.

Another story: On my way to work I stop at a red light, and a VW beetle (new) lines up next to me wiht some guy driving. He came up fast and I was pretty sure he wanted to make a go of it. I'm not that interested in racing, and I wasn't going to, but then this groundskeeper truck with a trailer pulls onto the road ahead of us just as the light is about to turn. The truck is in the Bug's lane now and the light turns green. The bug-guy punches it to try to get ahead and change lanes. Well, let's just say it didn't work out for him.

Re: Highway "race"

jmweidm,

Yeah bro i know what you mean about driving 130+ with the windows down:
I was followinf my cusin in his new 2.5 altima one night in MIA at like 3am when all of a sudden he punches it, and i couldn't let him get away but all my stuff was open, damn at 130 i finally closed it all hoping it wouldn't break while closing but damn it is much harder to drive at those speeds with the wind whipping inside!

Peace

Re: Highway "race"

try the left lane--westbound. I have always had good luck right there, theres always a dead spot in traffic, cuz everyone gets off at 59 so its wide open

Re: Highway "race"

2.5 altima won't do more than 120 due to limiter. 3.5 is limited at 128 (auto) 140 (stick)

your speedo must be off or he has bigger than stock tires?
