Talking OMG: VR4 vs NSX

for all of you who might for some reason care about me. i promise to never ever do anything this stupid again!

i'm on I-5 going north leaving my girls house. and as i was driving i hit some hard ass bump in the road. i figured this thing might have damaged my tire so i was about to get off the next exit to check.
when all of the sudden a glossy black nsx drives past me.

me: OMG what is wrong with me.

i cancel the plan and get behind the nsx. we get to an opening and i punch it, i wasn't even gonna wait to see if he wanted to race or not. as i'm passig him he punches it and because i jumped probably 3 sec before him i just slaughtered him the first run. so that didn't really count.

second run he gets behind me and we agian come to an opening. this time i wait to see his reactions. he punches it and gets on the side of me and i punch it maybe a second after. he comes up on the side of me and his bumper is on my door. but wait, whats this? i'm fucking pulling away from this guy by this time were at 115mph.
there's no cars for still some time up and i'm inching away from this guy. at 125mph i shift to 4th and still pulling and i'm like oh shit i'm still pulling by the time we reached 135mph his front bumber was behind me by probably a foot and i'm fucking screaming "wooooohooooooo"
we shut down at 140mph.

me: NOW THATS WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT, WHOOOOOO"

we then slow down to normal speed and the guy in the pasenger seat looks at me and gives me a thumbs up. i give him a nod and drive off.

THE SHOCKER

i swear on my grave, when i raced him i was not, i repeat was not using my boost controller. just hks intake, exhaust, twinturbo's pushing out 300+hp and cool night air coming through twin intercoolers.

I AM FUCKING PUMPED!

catch this: when i got home my rim was bent and tire is going flat. that will be $75. it was worth it sorta



sorry for all the cursing yogs

Re: OMG: VR4 vs NSX

You did a 140mph on a bent rim with a deflating tire?

Who cares about the NSX, just be happy your still alive!

Re: OMG: VR4 vs NSX

Very hot run...a guy near my school has one that he always parks out front his shop...but the prick wont run it. I've asked him multiple times.

As far as the rim and tire...good luck, how are you going about getting that repaired. I had a busted rim and couldn't find a new one for under 375...even on ebay. And tires aren't cheap either.

As far as being dangerous...yes it was...but we've all been there. Glad you weren't hurt and at least you learned from it...I personally wouldn't give up racing over that, it just makes you a bit more cautious...which is good. Because the second you stop fearing/respecting this car you're F$#*^D. Good kill and be safe.

I love the look of the NSX, but even in stock form, our VR4s match up very well. It all comes down to the driver and we know who stood out in your race

I have to say it though - next time, if you think you have a problem with the car, let the race go. There will always be a chance for another one

theres a shop down the street from me that repairs alloys for $75 depending on how bad it is. i was lucky finding out about this place because i was in the positoin you were in. i couldn't find a rim for less than like $350. check around your town. even yellow pages, somone's gotta be doing it.
