I went up to Advanced Discount Autoparts and Batteries saturNday evening. I left right around 8pm and started heading north on DaleMabry high ( 3 lanes north). I pull out into the right lane and get to the light that is a hundred meters or so up the way. I'm first at the stop bar as the traffic has not cycled yet. I notce an average black car (mid 90's sentra I think) pul net to me in the middle lane, and I think an SUV in the far right. Something then came up behind me...something with blue HID's. I couldn't quite make it out, but I though it kinda looked like a 350Z...so I though, ahh, whatever. Nothing good...agian.
The light turns green and I take off normal threw first. As I switch to 2nd, a white better boxy corrolla or some other piss-ant wagon putts outta the gas station parking lot. I realized that the driver was trying to get it moving, but still wouldn't get to speed in time without me hiting the brakes, or letting off the and slowing down my averaged paced accleration.
I peared over to my left to see the sentra thing back about half a car... and I still had plenty of room, so I got into 2nd gear low boost a little to get me passed the sentra thing and into the middle lane to over take the pittifully slow white boxy corrolla thingy. I took 2nd to about 5500-6000. still had plenty left, but why waste 3.10 per gallon in the tank? Know waht I mean
So As I was getting over into the middle lane I glanced into my rear view to check once more or clearnace on black car, I noticed in my over sized broadway mirror, the blue HID's pickup from accleration. The HID's got beind me, and then kept going to the left more unitl the vehicle is in the far left lane.
At this time, I looked down and am doing about 60. I think to my self "Ok, if he wants to play, this is the bottom of the sweet spot for 3rd gear...BIGG mistake
"
The vehicle overtakes my 60mph crusing speed and proceeds to pass me by a few mph (3-5 over me). He gets out about 1/2 in front of me so I can See 'Maserati'.....and I think the rest said "spyder"...it was in extra fancy writing, so it was hard to make out.
I said to myself..."Hellll no. A f0ckin' maserati. I have to try this one "twisted"
I reached down and put the boost controller up to 18psi. Then started to acclerata bit to match his speed. At this time, he was about a 1 to 1.5 car inbetween his rear and my front. As I start o try to catch up, he start going a little faster...alittle faster. Just enough to keep the distance he same between us.
SO....I down shift 4th and acclerated a little bit to get next to him. I Pace him at 70. (in a 55). I look ahead and only like 2 cars about 1/2-3/4 a mile up the way....the track it clear. I look over at the dude threw my 5% tint. He can't see me. I throw it in 3rd...he hears the rpm's kick up and the open down pipe get louder. He dude looks over at me, grabs his tattered and worn out red hat, and re-adjusted it while laughing at me... The look on his face was pricless... it was something like. "Ha...you have to be kinding me... This is a 100,000 dollar, 390 horsepower 6 speed buddy. Are you nuts?"
I brake boosted for about 1 second and took off an let out really quick.I let out jsut as my door was at hit front tire. I made it out about 1/2 a car as I hit the brakes and slowed back down to his speed. I saw him look straight, and his right arm did an arressive motion (down shifting), then the front of his car lifted a bit and he tryed to run on me.
Well, me being still in 3rd, I floored it. He got aout about 1/2 a car on me as I delayed to react to his "stabbing" of the gas, and I had to get the turo moving. At about his 1/2 car out-ness, the turbo was making enough boost to match his accleration. Then the boost was still building. the needle swaung to 18psi, and I faught the torque steer as I shot by him. I;'m not sure how much distance I really put on him in third, as I was paying more attention on tryign to keep my car in my lane (torque steer is a bia- ). I road in 3rd until my ignition started to break up (about 93-95). I glanced in the rear view and could already see his lights (about 2-3 cars behind me), I then threw 4th and took her up to about 110-120, and put a few more quick car lengths on him.
I was coming up to the coupler cars pretty fast now, and a had a somewhat heathly lead too, so I decide to put the 4 wheel dics to work. As I slowed back down going from like 90 down to 80 range, he goes by me. I slowed back to about 60, and so did he, but he got out about 2-3 cars in front of me as we slowed back down.
He DID NOT even look as he went past....he look straight f'ing ahead. I guess his peepee meet Luarana(sp?) Bobbet back a hundred feet
I got behind him since the thingy in the car infront of me was doing something like 40 in a 55.
As we both got passed the slow guy. The dude gets to the middle lane and slowed a little. I guess he was hoping the light would change green...but it didn't. SO since he slowed, I was right off the rear left of his bumper...my front just behind his rear about 1/4 car. Too tease him I stayed right off the rear of his the whole way until I had to turn. We had nothing but clear road for the next 2 miles and he didn't rev a peep.
I looked for my digi, but didn't have it...ahhh well.
