- not sure if I would call it a "KILL" or a race since it seemed like he didn't even try...
- but anyways, I installed my nitrous a few weeks ago and I have not used it (until tonight) because I was scared...
- I was going install my wideband o2 and sparkplugs first, but I guess not
- I have been putting off the install of the o2 because im still in pain from my bike wreck (will install this weekend)


- STORY: coming home from work cruising on cruise control at 70mph when I pass this older porsche (looks like it goes to the track because stickers and all that shit) he catches up to me and stays right next to me.. he drove a little faster and then let off to be next to me again. I opened my bottle (ROOF switch opens/closes the bottle), purged a little to get nitrous in the line, activated the nitrous system (mute button), downshifted to 3rd, looked at the guy until he took off and floored that bitch. I took off and it looked like he TRIED but then let off, I was too far away. I was still scared after that though...

I bet he was trying to keep up... you were just gone. I've seen hatchbacks spray fools before and it was no contest. Be careful... sounds like fun.

You should should just roll with the hardtop and reduce weight by eliminating the convertible... just a suggestion.
