i pull up to a 2 lane red light. there is a IS300 in front of me with me behind him (he is first at the light). then there is a white honda accord with a g35 right behind it (the accord was first). i am beside the G35. the IS300 (manual) had an exhaust, was lowered with rims and foglights. the G35 was a stock manual.

the light turns green and the is300 takes off kinda easy and i follow waiting for him to gun it. he doesn't so i shift into 2nd and right as i shift into 2nd at about 20mph, he goes WOT, so i downshift back into first and give chase...the G35 switches lanes behind me and follows us. i shift into 2nd and pull back the huge lead the is300 got, and by the end of 2nd i had to hit the brakes because i was coming close to rear-ending him but didnt want to go around him because there was traffic up ahead that we had started to catch up to.

we all slow down and i switch lanes and get beside the IS300 with the G35 RIGHT on my tail. we're going 28mph which was almost perfect for 1st gear (30mph is best ). i wait for the IS300 to hit it...hes does, and i WOT and pass him as im shifting into 2nd. the G35 went WOT right after me and im gaining cars on him as well. by the time i ring out 2nd and shift into 3rd i have at least 5 cars on the IS300 and probably 3 on the G35 (he passed the IS300 as well). i shut down at the top of 3rd because the IS300 let off and i was still gaining on the G35. the G35 pulls up and says "that thing's QUICK!" and i replied "all i have is an exhaust short shifter and an intake" and he replies "im stock" and i said "yea but we both killed that is300" he finishes by saying "yea but i couldnt keep up with you" we both wave and head off in different directions.

the IS300 wouldnt catch up to me no matter how slow i went. i guess he was kinda embarassed. i know these aren't monstrous wins like i used to have against SC G35's, Turbo RSX's, LS2 GTO's and C5 Corvette's...but im still happy i have the S back and im winning races again.

 

niice i had an 04 auto and that picked up. I really missed the torque!

 

good races!

What car did you have before when you were beating those faster cars????

 

He previously had nitrous on his S2k.

 

a C6 Z06... just kidding. i was running a 75 shot and then actually upped it to a 100 shot. i laid out every car i came across (except a C6 Z06 ironically) and then i blew my motor. im an idiot.

 

good kills. I bet it feels good to drive the S again, how long was it out of commission? i know how it feels

 

i blew it July 5th 2007 and got it back September 2nd 2007 at 10:10 am. i remember the time exactly. it feels awesome to drive it again and i love it so much. no more nitrous for me though. it's still a fast car for sure and can take out most on the street if driven properly. but the 100 shot feeling not the nitrous itself...will definitely be missed.

 

good kill

 

how exactly did you blow the motor with the nitrous? just curious because im thinking about a 75 shot and just starting my extensive research haha

 

i used a 100 shot and the car leaned out. the motor couldnt really handle it. i ran a 75 shot for 2 months with no problem, but i think that a 75 shot may be the car's limit without extensive tuning and timing retardation.
