<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">ok at a track i never speed on a public road im consurned about the old peep going 30 in a 70 lol

 

Here's a story: A fewweeks ago I was driving from Boston to Albany in my '96 eclipse spyder gs with a passenger, my friend was driving talon AWD turbo alone, and another friend in his Integra gsr with a passenger. The integra buddy just bought that car 3 days prior and it was his *dream* car. It was pretty nice, several aftermarket items on it, and just overall looked excellent. My other buddy with the talon had put quite a bit of money into it and was pushing about 350 HP (atleast that's what he said). My car was the only stock one.</P>


Anyway, we're running back passing each other between 100-110 mph. It starts raining kinda steady, and then a few minutes later it starts pouring down rain. By this time we're at 115 fairly steady. I'm trying to race the talon, even though I know that it kicks my ***.</P>


The integra drops back, prob cuz of the rain. Me and the talon eventually got up to 120-125. I dropped back a bit and then gunned it, passing the talon on the right by going into a on ramp, and hit just short of 130 mph in the pouring down rain. Of course I then hear his turbo spool up even more, and freakin' blows by me when I was already doing 130...</P>


So what happened to the integra? A few hours later when we called him on the cell, found out that he had problems with traction so he slowed down to about 55 mph and was changing to the slow lane when he hydroplaned real bad flipped a 180 in the middle of the interstate slamming into the concrete barrier and then proceeded into the guard rail...His dream car wrecked 3 days after he bought it. He came short of$300from totaling it.</P>


Funny thing is me and the talon never had problems with hydroplaning, so I guess the moral of this story is to buy all weather tires or get a AWD car...</P>

 

hahahaha!! stupid honda driver! that does suck, but yes... VERY nice moral to that one. buy a DSM and forget about the rain.. get AWD and forget about everything!!!

 

Nothing wrong with speeding....Except for when its time to pay your speeding tickets? Hell my dad works for the State Patrol and i still get busted. whats up with that? The fastest ive ever had a car up to on a highway was 150 m.p.h. I dont have the nerves to do that again........

 

I've hit 140 and after one bump and me feeling like I was FLYING... that was enough.

 

well 120 130 starts to scare me but ive been about 140 the fastest after that i thinks its time to shut her down dont wanta die any time soon

 

yes, no dieing here.. one time was fun, twice is dumb.. thats all there is to it.

 

that aint no lie lol ur right man after that is dumb i look at it like this i could be dead or in jail doing that ****

 

so I get my baby back this week. finally out of the shop. so prepare for some NEW KILLS! I'ma racin fool. and I found some little punks that think they are the **** with their vinals and fart cans. its gonna be beautiful!

 

Ok, so I am not one of the turbo dms guys giving dsm a bad rap, how do I take off from a red light without lag or bogging down in first?
I have a couple kills but nothing too major..2000 Mustang, Miata, and a Civic. But I noticed I was kinda slow off the line. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Stephen
