Default AP2 vs 135

Came across a 135 on the way home tonight. I may have jumped early or he was late on the 40 roll but I was able to keep my nose ahead of him most of the race. I'd say he was slowly walking me up until about 5th then he really pulled on me and I lifted off after that. I was a little surprised how well I stayed with him. He was stock with a passenger and I have test pipe, exhaust, and spare removed. Great fun wither way. 135 may soon be my next DD if I don't go Type R

With a tune that thing would have just blown by you. They're fun little cars though; I've owned 2 before the S2k....S2000 ftw though. I worked on both my 135's more than I drove them.

He yelled out it was stock. I said well yea if it wasn’t you’d have left me. You have the N54 or N55? I’m hoping for the later model if I get one

Both of mine were N54; they are very maintenance heavy vehicles. Once you get around that, they're an absolute joy.

N55 tends to be less overall maintenance, but there's still plenty of things to do on it.

Our F32 N55 w/ a JB4 and a downpipe was an absolute beast. Even w/o a tune there is no way my gutted S would keep up on the street in a straight line.

Your lucky it wasn't a M135. They are very fast. Way to hang though.
