Default The Great White ate a Spider

Well, to be honest it was kinda boring . I was out for drive when a guy in a Toyota Spider pulls along side of me at a traffic light. He shouts, "I bet that Honda is not what they say it is."

I just pointed to the highway. We jumped lanes and got onto the 4 lane and we were off. Or should I say I was off - leaving him to munch on my exhaust fumes.

Oh and of course it made me do this ---------->

haha sounds like you shut him up good. My sister has one of those spiders we call her spider woman, but anyways one night just playing around we were at a light and i was like....."it's over"...no more playing around....i revved up to um 5 or 6 then light turned and i just gunned it...wheels burning....i didn't look over and when i shifted to 2nd at redline she was right beside me!!! haha i was so proud of her after we went home i was like...."i taught you well!" ofcourse that thing is so light, i was actually proud of myself for keeping up beside her because i felt so fast when i drove the MR2 off the line. Anyway, good kill

Geesh, what is up with some MR-Spyder owners? I remember when they first came out. I went out to my local hangout during a Friday evening. Well, surely enough some cocky bastard in a MR-S shows up wanting races. At the time I drove a 00' ITR. I was like sure...actually, I followed him after he left the joint. No, I wasn't stalking him. I just wanted to see what it was capable of.

The idiot actually thought he could beat my ITR. I know cars...and there was no way in hell he would beat my R. We went from a 10mph roll at first. No contest. Let him like he was just standing there. Of course, I slow down and let him pull up next to me. He makes an excuse saying he would destroy me off the line. Ummm...ok. So, we both catch a light. Same thing...out of first gear...he's no where to be seen. See ya. I keep pulling and pulling until I let off. He never did pull up the second time. I guess talking all that shit and not being able to back it up made him feel stupid.

Let's just say my ITR pulled on him like a C5 does to a S2000. Opps...bad comparison. I know i'm not invincible when i'm driving around town. I know how to make judgements on certain cars...of what can beat me, vice versa. But it amazes me sometimes how many people are out there just flat out ignorant to capabilites of a car.

Good Kill btw.

I raced a silver MRS and there's no comparison. 140hp to 240hp

They are nice cars, I test drove one a couple months ago for my g/f. If they had a Celica GTS engine instead of a GT engine it would be a close race.

All integra motors are 1.8 liters by the way if that helps.
