TongMan Elk Grove California, US Master Mechanic	Okay...tonight coming from Modesto, there's this Accord with euro taillights, and no muffler (hella loud!) that wanted to race me. We both turned into a 3 lane street from opposite sides. He was behind me and I hear this loud ass accelleration from behind me, but his car was barely getting any closer...kinda weird (i thought)...so I slowed down and then he just went past me. I said to myself...Psshhh...ricer! So I slammed the gas and boosted right past him from about 5 car lengths behind him. We came up to the light up ahead and he was just staring at me and revving...I knew he had nothing on me. I didn't rev back, but just nodded...light turns green and off i go...No contest! His car was hecka loud though... Oh, and before that this Impala wanted to race me too. We were at the light, but I didn't want to race because I had 3 other people in my car that I was gonna drop off...didn't want to be stupid risking 3 other people's life. The Impala launched with it's tires screeching (wheel spin). I said to myself...loser...I could take you like nothing! TRD Supercharged Release Series 2.0 tC

Mayo Rockville Maryland, US *The Guru*	^ seen it happen all too often. Sometimes with my own car, hahaha. (only its not too loud) Anyway, yesturday I raced my friends MR2. We raced 3 times from a dig, only going to 2nd and letting off. He one all three times... shit. But he's a pretty damn good driver. I was also really nervous, forgot to watch my rpms so my shift sucked. Already talked to Vicious about this, he gave me some tips: relax. Haha. I also lauched at too high an rpm, got a lotta wheel spin. Oh well, it was fun, I give my friend major props. He was real cool about winning too.

Fliphm00b Washington, US Chief Mechanic	My Kill list is small but some funny ones hehehehe... 1st Kill: A 9x Celica I was on i-405 South coming home with my girlfriend talking to me and I see some guy (celica) coming up hella quik..N im thinkin to myself whoa shit man this car must be pretty damn nice...So I slow down and wait for him to pass me but he didnt he pulled up next to me...I looked at his car and his mods from what I saw some bronze rims IDK what kind but decent it was slammed, a tint and an exhaust(not a very loud one 2).So I was like wtf does this guy want I mean I just have a light mod which was the ANGEL EYES, I mean Im BONE STOCK....So I was like okay I honk 3 times and we go at it (frm 45 roll, freeway was clean no cars maybe 2 or 3..When I hit 4th he was gone ;)...SO i was like man this guy is a wannabe I fawkn won with a stock tc.... 2nd Kill: Believe it or not 2007 CIVIC SI 4DR Okay same freeway on my way home but this time by myself..I was merging to get on the faster lane and then I see this Bright Blue light so I was like hmmm is it an EVO MR??..I wait for it to pass me, then my dumbass lookin straight at this persons car (Im sure u guys would've noticed me looking if you were the SI)...I was like o shit man this car is fawkn clean it had some nice lookin Bronze VOLKS (Dont noe what kind)...SOME BRIGHT ASS H.I.D.'s and that factory lip kit add on, and also it had a nice drop...So Im thinkin to myself okay lets not pass this guy cuz this guy is hella faster than me...2-3 mins stayin behind him and then I was like man this guy is going HELLA SLOW i think 50 so I was like meh Ima pass him up and HOPEFULLY he doesnt try to race me..So I pass him up and right when I was about 2 car lengths he starts zoomin cut peepz left and right o and i forgot its pretty busy for a friday night...So when I saw him I waited for him to get next to me and so he did...and we took off from 50mph, I was keeping up with him which IDK y because His car is faster than mine and when we got 2 heavy traffic I was still zippin through cut peepz left n right he was as well, I lost him at the heavy traffic and finally when the traffic cleared he caught up and was all up in my ass...we were both on the car pool lane wanting to passup this car to our right and also a pretty fawkn big DODGE pickup was infront so I sped up hella just to squeeze my tiny ass in the gap...AND DEN lost him hehehehe I waited for him but he was no where to be found.....;)...

Idiot probably running open exhaust with nothing in the engine bay. That loss of backpressure probably gave him less than stock horsepower. You can't learn me nothin...

He was real cool about winning too. yea man need to relax cause our car is alil bit faster than the mr2....my friend has an mr2 and me and him have went at it a couple times and ive always won.......my father also has a mr2, and ive driven both, the mr2 isnt as fast as the tc..... just watch ur launch and ur shifts, he might be ahead off the launch and maybe into second, but once u get further into second and shift into third u should start to pull on him click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER

Aviator213 Hagerstown Maryland, US Scion Guru	SE-R's are nice performance-wise, but im not really feeling the older body style of them...a little to plain. The new sentra looks like a scaled down altima which im not really feelin either. it should have its own body style

Gripking Miami Florida, US Master Mechanic	so i was driving out the gas station after filling up my tank like 15 min ago..and a red 04 civic ex pulls up and starts revving.. I look over i can hear exhaust and intake, i see cf hood, drop and rims the whole "JDM" thing goin...im thinking to myself "wtf? im stock!" lol anyways light turns green i took him from the line by the time i was in third gear i was like 3 cars ahead.. so then he pulls up again and hes asked "that a Supercharged one?" i said "no stock all motor.. " the look on his face was priceless.. he wanted to run again.. so i did and this time i beat him by like 4 cars by the time i was in 4th I love my tc Rabid_Lemming wrote: That negative camber is gonna eat your tires like a fat kid locked in a cake factory!

Vicious Orlando Florida, US El Chupacabra	I was driving to my gf's house earlier and guess what I saw ahead of me as I made a right turn? An xB2 I drove beside it and he stayed with me until we both stopped at the red light. I could tell he was revving his motor lightly, probably around 2k more or less. When the light turned green he booked it and I followed! For a box, that thing could pull! I guess the 2az-fe didn't mind all that extra weight from the box, but my side mirror broke past his front bumper half-way into second gear and by third he was checking out my rear bumper. He didn't lose by much folks, maybe a half-car length to a full length. Those xB2s are gonna be a menace once more people start modding them The Thread Killah

Aviator213 Hagerstown Maryland, US Scion Guru	so I know this kid who has a 2002 ford zx2 and he says he wants to race me. He says its supercharged with dual overhead cams. I can find regular specs for the car but i dont know how much horsepower he'd be running with the supercharger. Can anyone give me a ballpark number ?

Orin Auburn Alabama, US	most likely he's added an extra 60 whp + 50 wtq and it's available right off the line
