type-R hatch vs. turbo spec-v vs. turbo 280z?
tonight i was comming home from the New Tampa meet just cruising on the highway. i wasnt looking to run anyone because my car has been having issues lately and not running its best.
so im cruising along and right when i get by my exit a yellow spec-v pulls up next to me and slows down. i figured what the hell, i'll still kill a spec-v, and go past my exit. little did i know but the spec-v had a surprise for me. we both hit it and i hear the turbo spoolin, we stay even thru most of 3rd, beginning of 4th he pulls a bumper and end of 4th i make it up. we raced again, with pretty much the same results. it was a yellow spec-v with a t3/t4, the guys were cool as hell and exchanged thumbs up.
then he yells at me to race the nissan behind us. i think is was an old 280z, but i dont know old nissans very well. we both hit it, i hear the turbo spool, and he pulled a car on me thru 3rd and 4th. i pull up next to him, give him the thumbs up, and we go from a 2nd gear roll. we hit it, it sounded like he was spinning a little, and i kept a half car lead thru the middle of 4th, then we shut down.
good runs if you guys are on here, we should go again from a dig sometime.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.
Nice runs! i'm glad to see it out and runnin!
Got the A/C in?

I was riding in the spec-v. Good runs man! I got it all on video, I'll upload it sometime tomorrow after work and post it in here.

***The 280z didn't spool on the 2nd race, then when it did it started spinning

LOL I was driving the z its actually a 280zx, I was a little surprised when you hung with the sentra.I am still breaking in my motor right now only on 8lbs and have a nasty exhaust leak around the manifold/head.That was definetly a good run though and yeah for some reason second didnt seem to spool then bam it lit them up and kept going a little through third.I would definitely like to go from a dig with you, still working on launching this 25 yo suspension so ill take all the practice I can get.If your going to track day I will definetly line up with you there should have some tires by then.and again man nice runs nice to meet some of the non-rice Hondas on this board.
