Hey guys,

I just wanted to say Hi. I am a max owner and wanted to give you guys props. Anyways I just wanted to share my race with you guys.

A few weeks back, I was driving on rt 7 in Sterling, Va and was minding my own business when a set of HID's are coming up on me fast. I look over and a white s2k goes past me going at least 100mph. I was driving 65.

I speed up and he waits for me. I see him smirk at me and I smile back. We both gunned it at the same time. I was in third with my nitrous armed. My rpm switch is set at 3K so I started to slowly walk him. At about 120 I had 2-3 cars on him. I slow down and he gives me the most shock look ever and I gave him the thumbs up.

I thought I would just share my story and pay my respect for the s2k. If I didn't have N2O i would have gotten eaten alive.

Not bad, nice stereo set up. Fav colors blue, so it cought my eye.

 

Thanks, do you have a site with your s2k? I was at a meet in Va and saw the silver s2k in sport compact car magazine and it was one of the sweetest rides there. Well, next to the techademics MR2 at least

 

A site...HA my cars so stock it still has the dealer plates bro...

 

awesome! you should have told the poor guy that you were spraying!
you got a nice clean ride there

 

Nah I can't tell him. He smirked at me and laughed that I had a 4 door sedan. I thought it was funny because he ran into my sleeper.

 

 

Good race. I would hardly call your car a sleeper though.

 

I would say that I am sleeper only because most people in sport cars do not know about maximas. They see it as a four door family car and do not realize the potential nor that in its stock form, that it is one fast car.

Stock
0-60 6.6 secs (faster than a lot of cars in its class and a lot of sport cars in its price range)
faster stock 1/4 is 14.2-14.4 i believe. (don't quote me, i don't remember)

All in all, i think a lot of people underrate a lot of cars.

I did when I raced a civic and lost to it. I was out of N2O and though that I would walk this civic without it. Boy was I wrong, As he crept past me, I saw the huge FMIC and watched him walk me by 2 cars by 100mph. Good news is that if I had any N2O left I would have murdered him.

 

Yeah, the general perception of most drivers is that only low, two-seat cars with large displacement engines are 'fast' while economy cars, family sedans, etc are not. Hey, I had that perception too, when I was like 13

On this site, I think most of us hardly understimate too many cars since we've seen just about everything modded to a point where its a quarter mile monster.
