G35 + bad driver < Me
Finally went out and met Rob (CassiesMan, some of you know what I'm talking about). I raced his friend's G35 (who says he's a bad driver) and held him at 1-2 cars until I shifted to third then he pulled me hardcore.
Rob (heh, that was your name right? Sorry I'm real shitty with names), you can list the details, lol. I'm hittin' the fuckin'[ sack, 10 hour shifts are lame. When will you be back from Florida? I want to race your 325i. Taylor

Re: G35 + bad driver < Me
Steve is a decent driver, the G35 is a 6 speed, its his moms. He only gets to drive it every so often, his car is an Mirage Coupe, bone stock. His last car was an I/E Prelude with the Vtec motor, but also an auto (all ya'll on facebook may notice the quote I have "I Need that fifth gear to Vtec", thats him).
Anyways, he doesn't get to drive the stick all to much, so he gets good at it, then goes like a month or two, and sucks again. Hes also a kinda slow shifter. Of course, I can't drive a stick, period (no one wants to lend me their car to learn) so I have no room to talk. Anyways, both races we had the traction control turned on, so on the race from a dig, we ended up bogging out becuase we couldn't spin at all. Taylor put about two lengths on us, and once the computer decided it would let Steve drive, we reeled him in, and pulled pretty hard to I'd say 90-95ish. Second race we went from a roll, Steve was at the top of first, and on the third honk, we both punched it. Again, traction control was on, and Steve says he normally scratches in the 1-2 shift when pushing it, but the computer decided it didn't like that, and somehow we managed to bog in second from a roll. Same story, computer lets us drive finally, and we catch up and pull Taylor up to about 100-115, pretty far up. Taylor's ESi is pretty clean looking, and sounds pretty good too. Also, the entire time my buddy with the Lexus ES300 was way behind us. Moral of the story...computers dont let you have fun. Unless your looking at porn or something. -Rob.

he should steal the g more often and learn how to feather it and turn the tcs off. if there isnt a switch he needs to take the fuse out.
slow shiftin isnt bad for him right now tho.. if he tried it fast he would probably be missing gears left and right. ^ lol i love that computer fun quote

Re: G35 + bad driver < Me
We did a few hard pulls earlier and later that night, but he had turned the car off and wasn't thinking to turn the VDC off.

Re: G35 + bad driver < Me
Those were good races.
Hit me up next time you're going out there and I'll meet you out there again. Have you seen the Chevelle yet?

Re: G35 + bad driver < Me
Driving a stick is like riding a bike once you get decent at it... no excuses.
even going from transmission to transmission it takes me no more than 15-20min of good shifting to get comfertable. The most dificult thing to adjust to IMO is the clutch's friction point for launching and shifting (the less you have to move the pedal the beter) Anyway, nice kill which reserected itsself Cassie, learn to drive a stick, pick up a beater form the junk yard for like 500...jeesh. |
