Default Raced a Modded Sti (not the new one)

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......

Yes. They are about the same price as the regular NX noids. The NX tech guy told me I would gain hp going from the mainline to the lightning noids, but I dont see how. Theyre supposed to flow like crazy though.

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
