So I'm passing by a Chevron station on my way home one late night and I see a black G35 pulling out. About a mile down the road his purple lights catch up to me. I have the windows down so I can get some of the nice 45* air and he pulls up next to me and starts revving. I can tell hes in gear and ready to roll. We are at 45mph and I floor it. He pulls a car ahead instantly (damn auto downshift). I start reeling him in and by the time I have a half car ahead he slams on the brakes and freaks me out a bit.

I ask him what hes done to it, he says the typical "Just a V6". I give him the typical "I'm not a dumb****" look. I ask him what he's done to it and out comes the ported this, that, exhaust, tune, etc. Sounds like alot I say and he nods. He said it dynoed 270 to the wheels. I pointed to mine and just said full exhaust. He was cool.

My car just gutted ram air LTs and an open cutout. It wasn't a real race at all, but I don't think a real race would've been pretty for him since I was pulling him in auto LT1s near dead zone. They are nice looking cars, but modding them seems pointle$$. It felt good to have a car that I bought at a junkyard, put in a couple hundred in mods, and still put a bruising on cars of today.

Anyway, discuss.

Good Kill. That may teach him to not to waste his $$$.

It always amazes me that new drivers want to race. I never get macho'd from any of them anymore if they have a couple of years on them. They just have to learn the hard way sometimes.

Annihilations of recent vintage...
Subaru WRX - no problem
Honda S2000 - no problem
Nissan 350 ZX - no problem
Mit**** EVO - no problem
BMW M3 - no problem
Mustang GTs - no problem
Dodge Chargers - no problem

If my car was a WWII fighter, I would have a dozen flags emblemed beneath my cockpit.

Those G35 are so weak... I remember when I raced one when they first came out and smoked one with my practically stock Z28 that I bought for under $6k... I don't know, but I would feel salty if I just spent $40K on a car and got smoked by a car that was a ton older and worth about a 1/7 of it

those g35 are the ultimate sleepers though, there is a guy in this car club i run with in chi that looks and sounds completely stock with around 700whp. i dont know everything he has but i know its a twin turbo. he definatley put me in my place real fast

Any car has potential when you're willing to spend twice its purchase price to get it there.

Those engines typically don't last a long time under even light boost. It's far more complicated than just throwing on a turbo kit and doubling the power.

this is the 100% truth
so many people think it's as easy as just throwing the turbo on and putting it to whatever PSI you want

LOL... Good kill. Sounds like you're havin' a blast. Be safe...
