Mr2's first challange

SVX92 · 09-19-2009, 05:36 PM

***Disclaimer***
I am in no way endorsing or "bragging" about street racing, simply re-telling my run in last night.

***Story***
So on my way home from work in my bone stock 91 n/a Hardtop I was stuck behind some unbelievably slow mini-van. Being that I was on a two lane road I just got in the left lane and went around, no point in being stuck when theres two lanes. As I did this I notice a single headlight behind. A younger guy on a bike kept looking over at me and pacing me, looking like he wanted to see what I was all about.. I smiled and just ignored him.

Once stopped at a light, he revved quite a bit and kept nodding, so I figured why the hell not. I punched it and got a good launch, but the bike(as figured) overtook me quickly. Once stopped at a 4 way, he crept up next to me and signaled to a couple open parking spaces.

It was only a Yamaha R6, but still a hell of a lot quicker than my Deuce. Still the guy said he owned a 93 Turbo and when he saw mine he got excited, as not many Mr2's are in the area. We talked about some other car stuff, as I've got a 300zx as well.

Seemed like a cool guy and his buddy driving a single turbo 95 supra offered me to come and grab a beer, but I had to get back home and study for classes. Cool guys and some nice rides, but anyway that's the story.

Now I just need to get moving on swapping the engine and start the build up!

always nice to meet cool people, gonna need alot more hp to hang with an R6 tho =p

There is actually about 6 Rex's running around my area, several of them are LS-Swapped cars. Damn fast too. I don't know the guy, but another middle age guy in a 06 Z06 twin turbo is pushing close to 600hp, I've seen it, never gotten to see it really in action. Thing is a monster for sure though.

All in all neither of my cars are that fast, but I'm working on them slowing, and eventually will push some serious muscle. just don't have a ton of expendable funds, with college everything comes second.

This is the truth, I knew that a really nasty launch was the only thing that would make it look like my car had anything behind it, I did about the best I think anyone could.

Really nice guys though, sometime I want a ride in his Deuce and the guys Supra. I've got a big sweet spot for Single Supras, there a hell of a car.

Supras though are awesome cars!
