So I was sitting in a parking lot talking to this guy that was in a T66 turbocharged nissan mini pickup truck. It runs 7.0s in the 1/8th mile spinning! I had my hood raised and these guys pull up......
One car was a silver Sti with some body kit, wheels, brakes, exhaust, FMIC from what I could tell. The other car was the same red Saturn Ion Redline I had run into the other night. They get out and the guy in the redline says, "Man I cant believe I hung with a GT on spray the other night! I said, "I wasnt spraying man." Because I wasnt and I pulled good on him. The guy said, "No way a GT can pull that hard on me without spray!" I told him what mods I had, but he still thought I sprayed it. They look at my motor, and say "Oh so you just have direct port and the intake?" I said "Yea that and the exhaust." They gave me the look....like they thought the sti would take it.... So we pull out and go to a long stretch of road, 40 roll with the sti. I just had maybe 900psi but thats pretty good. I didnt have much n20 left in the tank though. So we hit it, and he pulled good on me at first. I was at his bumper....Towards 4500rpm I started pulling, now at his door. I shifted into 3rd and I started walking away hard. I was about 2-3 cars ahead by the end of 3rd so I let off. We continued this about 4 times, each time was the same i pulled 2-4 cars by 115-120 and this was really a short race. So this time he pulls up and says he wants to go from a dig.....I said alright and he turned around and stopped. 2500rpm, drop the clutch, slam the gas, and he pulled a car on me good. I spun 1st bad ,shifted into 2nd and I caught back to his bumper, Man they come outta the hole fast!.....Slammed into 3rd gear and I pulled about 1 car ahead of him so I let off. So now the Redline pulls up beside me......lol! He immediately says, "Can we go without the spray?" I told him before I wasnt spraying on him! So I turned it off, and pulled 1-2 cars on him from 40-80. He just shrugged his shoulders and dropped back behind the Sti..... I wanted them to follow me so I could check out their mods, but they turned around like women and took off the other direction......

nice man. i had an STi floor it from about 4 lengths in front of me one time, at like 30 miles per hour. by the time i was at the end of 4th, i was right beside him and continuing to pull (i mark it a W in my book). You definitely got a nice kill. watch out for those Redlines though, they are mighty fast! (with their cavalier eco-tec motors) lol
