I was on my way back from Kent Municipal Court headed to reinstate my Driver's License.

Headed northbound on Highway 167, I run into a Toyomoto S/C IS300... he was cranking 6-7psi, so he was a worthy opponent. He initiated the run btw... When I accelerated I saw the front mount radiator it was a sick ass IS300...

Sean if you happen to read this nice ride bro.

Run 1 - 40 - 110 I pulled 8 cars.

Run 2 - 40 - 110 I pulled 8 cars, again.

Run 3 - Was the my best highway pull I heard my engine wanting to pull harder same result... but I felt the engine wanting to pull harder.

Very fun, I pulled over and talked to him... he was with his GF and supposedly he was putting down 250 to the rear wheels... His S/C wasn't fully tuned to it's fullest potential...

Today my 04 M3 beat the IS300 with Toyomoto S/C

Good kill! I would think the IS300 with a SC would put down near 300hp like our S's.

I think he was tiptronic, the spool sounded like a vaccum, no blow off valve either.

He could've been putting down more power than he claimed... he pulled me over and ask what I had done... All I have is a stage I Dinan Engine Software Upgrade.

Frans2k... thanks bro... and I have yet to run a S/C S... I think it would be a closer encounter given equal drivers.

how do you feel that your engine wants to pull harder? I don't get it. I mean, I want my engine to pull harder, but it just doesn't.

I know how you feel under-rated. I never drive with sport mode on but man when I turn it on the car just seems to keep pulling. After a long night of driving I feel like the car gets faster as the night goes on.....

When you take care of the car... that's what it feels like. I unleash the redline in these type situations only. M3 has a pretty nice powerband... It's like the Carrera in a way but S54 seems to pull a little harder when redlining.

Decieving fast.

I wanted to run this 93 RX-7... he had a passenger / I didn't. However he was gunning it in and out of the cars on the highway farely open. I was on his rear bumper and ready to brake every instant... he couldn't lose me, and he didn't want to run on the straight.

All my buddies want me to get my ass handed to me... but oh well. The time will come... I see Z06's all the time, the C5 not to worried about... kinda curious though.

Gotta be from a roll... I refuse to burnout.
