I was kinda anxious to test out the car (just bought it about 2 weeks ago). As soon as I brought it home I ditched the aircan for a k&n filter and started doing some free mods. Later that night, I went to francis lewis blvd (yes, i live 5 blocks away from rice central) hoping to find something to play with for a bit. As soon as I pass northern blvd I see a silver 2g spyder with altezzas a wing and some guages on the a-pillar.

Right away I think oooo a gs-t! So I catch up to him, and as soon as I came next to his window I let off the gas to let him hear my bov expel air in hope that he was gonna race. No go.

I tried 2 or 3 more times. Still no go. All of a sudden, he floors it. I was waiting for him to shift to make sure it was a gst. I didnt hear a bov. Right away I'm thinking maybe he has a bosch bov (verry quiet). So I just pop it in 2nd and catch up easily. Next light was coming up and I could hear this guy downshifting in hopes that the light will turn green before we stop. We come to the light and he throws a few revs while smiling at me. At this point I'm thinking "is he seriously thinking of going from a stop?"

Light turns Green,
5500rpm AWD launch,
10+ cars ahead
End of story.

Next light he asked me what I had done and told him I was pretty much stock except for free mods. Then I found out he had a "highly modded 420a" with an intake, and exhaust. During the entire time I was talking to him I was trying to figure out why the fuck would he put a triple guage a-pillar thing on his car.

I should of asked him, but didnt want to go there. Anyways, just wanna say hi and I really love my DSM. I cant understand what the fuck I was doing driving anything else.

Nice kill. Lots of people do that around here.. Put a 3 gauge Pod with Boost, EGT and A/F and don't even have any F/I. Bunch of Fignuts

I wasn't aware that Bosch made blow-off valves:confused: :D

Nice kill anyway.

Funny how some people think I/E is highly modified haha
 
You shouldn't be racing on francis lewis, theres a lot of cops there. I was just with my friends on queens blvd yesterday and he got pulled over for making an illegal lane change. Theres a lot of hidden cops over there. Funny thing I was talking to my friend the other day asking why do people put guages in their cars when they don't have a turbo. :rolleyes:

Might wanna hook me up with some spots to go to. I'm too lazy to go all the way to DPA or Hunts Point.
 
Me and my friends don't usually look for light races, we're more into highspeed races. We don't even like looking for races, they look for us. What we do occasionally do is line up our cars on the light and race each other, but not the people we don't know.

I'd rather race at Utopia Parkway. Or a little further down part of Main street. We race at the part were the cemetary is all the time. Very few cops there.
