SS/SC vs. 3000GT VR4

sooo...driving home from work when some kid in a VR4 pulls up next to me at a red light. Im thinking to myself.."man, thats twin turbo..nice..he'd beat me"..well this kid starts rolling back and forth at the light...trying to get me to run him so he can show off in front of his girl. I just sit there calm, look at him and give him the little "nice car" look. Light turns green, he guns it...and i gun it. Off the line i was about at his door, by 100 i was about a car ahead of him...idk why, i figured i would get toasted. But ne way...it was fun, and a big surprise...and his girl just winked at me as they turned at the next light..lol

clifs notes: start out at his door..by 100 about a car ahead...makes kid look like an ass..lol

um heres the thing too people are forgetting people is that vr4s typically have the living ***** beaten out of them, so that 320 hp is at best but very unlikely.

good kill. I can see it happen. The last vr4 was made in 99'..and those were rare. So I can see a 10 year old stock car not having that 320hp anymore.

I beat a mustang gt with exhaust and they have what around 320 hp and they weigh 3400 lbs, i see it possible. Those vr4's are awd too, there turbos take awhile to spool but when they do they move pretty good.

there was a VR4 at the track a couple seasons ago it was running high 13's i think the best run i saw was a 13.6?

if i had my SS/SC with the mods i have i could have kept up/beaten him given i didnt screw up, drivers race...but for a mostly stock ss/sc?...gooooo he must have sucked, not double shifting like he should.

how did you see the vr-4 on the back if he pulled up next to you when you were at the light and you were never behind him the whole race? he should have wasted you. and whoever said the turbos on a vr4 take a while to spool.....

Hey just sayin about the turbos take awhile to spool...I used to have honda prelude(h22) i/e/e plugs and plug wires and I torched a vr4 out of the whole and was probably a car ahead untill about 70 and I was right next to him till 90 then he blew past me
