intimidation: vr4 vs prelude and 2nd gen eclipse gs-t

this sucks:disappoin i've been looking for a race for so long and nobody ever wants to race
a C-5 corvette pulled a ricer fly by and i still could have beat it if we werent running out of road

well anyway i get on the freeway from getting some gas and on comes at the same time an eclipse gs-t white, exhaust rims
usually i dont race these cars, but you really never know what an eclipse has under the hood. so he follows me at high speeds, like 90mph dodging traffic
finally an open area and he gets on it, i dont downshift to third, i just stay in 4th, figure if he's faster than i think then i'll run him again
but to no suprise we started from like 75mph and by the time i got to 115 it was done pretty quickly
i let off and he stays behind me on purpose, like way behind me
suddenly a prelude comes up on the side of me, purple with exhaust, hes jerking his car wanting to go, i think he seen me race the eclipse.
i speed up from 70 to 80 really quick and let of the bov
the prelude then backs down and does not want to race anymore:crying:

guys i cant get a race for nothing anymore. i use to race like 3 times a week, now nothing wants to race me
so i just took the only oppurtunity i had and raced the eclipse......this sucks:frown:

hmmmm........i think you need a bigger wing to catch attention :D

nice killz ;)

I think you should go south and then you will race more cars and you will lose some more(cali)

funny thing is, this city is big on street racing
not as huge as cali, but close

lots of cars you may have seen in super street or scc
owners are from here.

i really think i'm just in the wrong place at the wrong time some how

Maybe you should have 1000hp NOS written accros you car so people want to take you on..........

just curious...have you tracked your car yet...

funny thing is i have not, for the same reason i dont race from a dig, i cant afford to hurt my tranny anymore

its not that there's nothing fast enough for me(obviosly there's always something faster) its just nobody wants to race

Nice Kill! I haven't raced a GS-T yet.:frown:

Sorry to hear your not haviing to much fun in the "racing scene" if you will. At least you got to race something. Better luck finding some good races.

meeh. same here. ill race ya young, u just have to short shift so that your turbo doesnt spool up to make it interesting.

I've lived down here in AZ for almost 4 months now. The races I've caught are as follows: riced out 3G eclipse and riced out to the max Honda Civic, one right after the other, smoked both. A 5.slow Mustang, smoked. A 350Z, which I hate to admit, but he killed me, I was only running 15lbs of boost at the time, and the car wasn't really healthy at that point. A countour SVT :eyeroll, smoked his ass while staying in 5th gear going up a hill. Come down to AZ, I'll race you.

if your ever in cali ill race you. but you need to promise to give me a 10 second head start =P

Where do you live :D

Yeah I haven't had anyone want to race me since I bought my car....at least not while just driving around, I had one set up race....and maybe one slow ass truck...sucks but oh well I can use the break from tickets.

i havent gotten any races since I got the RX, I tried baiting a 3kgt N/A but he was like "no". I asked him why and he say to me "You'll kick my ass" so I was like damn it.....If I was in the jetta I wouldve had a race that day.

having awd and not being able to use it damn that has to suck....

I use mine, I ain't skurrd. I just check my t-case fluid levels weekly and launch semi-carefully (never above 6k, usually around 4k)...i guess you could say i'm a little skurrrd, but it doesnt stop me lol.

I'm a little surprised he said that. Yes the RX-8 it faster but not by substantial amounts by any means. I recall Cassie'sMan beat an auto RX-8 with his 325i. If that is the case a n/a 3000gt MTX should be able to take RX-8 auto. Either way, get some races in. :)

The gift and the curse

mine isnt auto, and there is a huge performance difference in them, the manual has a new sport suspension set up while the auto doesnt and to get it you have to pay almost an extra 2k and people have already tested the manual against the auto and the difference is almost 5 cars, which that is very easy to see considering the auto does a 1/4 almost a full second slower than the manual. And i'm not getting races till my 1st oil change so I can get off the dealer crap and put some good oil in there.

I agree, the auto RX-8 is friggin slow...about as fast as my car, lol.

The manual is much nicer, which is what he has and hence quite a bit faster.

and there is my point, if I beat musashi's 3kgt when my jetta was stock and musashi has his modded and the RX-8 is definately faster than the jetta when it was stock (which is just lowered boost) then a stock N/A 3kgt would be pretty easy.

track the rx-8....update the sig.....oh and hurry up with that oil change...

Oh I know and I meant nothing agianst you. But even still why not race? And did he know you were not auto? Not really a big deal, I was just stating...

best launch i can do in my car is a 7000rpm clutch dump
that is to me the only way i'm gonna get the best times
i could do a 4000rpm and slip the clutch a bit, but its still not the real deal

i can use it, but not to its full extent because i choose not to, for the reason of my tranny. my car working and bieng able to drive it from point a to point b is the more important thing for me right now, since this is my only means of transportation

manuals come with 18's and autos come with 16's that one way to tell, although if you pay 2 grand on an auto you get the 18's which slow it down even more. The 18's on my car is for traction purposes which I can still lose it easily and have already fished the car in the parking at my office. And yeah he knew cause he saw me shifting before we got the the light.
