Ok, so its around 900 last night and im coming home from the girlfriends house. Nice night, a bit breezy i got the top down just cruisin along. Light turns red i pull up stop and flip through the cd's lookin for a new one. As i pop my head back up from looking trying to get a cd under the passenger seat. I hear a nasty sound coming from the right side of my car. As i look over its none other than a RiceCake, later found out this guy was from Virginia, anyways, im really not in the mood to race b/c its a nice night and all and im tired, ironic, im 17 and dont want to race anyone.

So, this joker has a suprsingly nice looking car. nice body kit, not bad exhaust, see through hood which is pretty cool i might ad, but he blew it on the wing I could have sworn it was a wing off of a Supra. So the kid revvs his engine at me and just stares at me. And i cant stand when people do that, i dotn mind if they stare at the car, but when they stare at me it pisses me off.

But getting to the point, the kid says "out driving daddys' car eh" which always sets me off, because i worked my ass off for this car. So i said the hell with it, i revved my precious up and dropped it around 7000 whent he light turned. The kid pulls on me immediately and just rapes the bejesus out of me through second he is probably 2 lengths up on me. So admitting defeat i decide to let up. Im assuming the guy was running turbo and god knows what else. All the sudden i hear a "shhhhbooom" and i knew it was NOS fromt eh sound of it. I mean plain retarded to use on the street, and especially after you won.

So im about to turn in my neighborhood, about 5 miles after where i saw ricecake driving, and i see blue flashing lights, i slow down cuz i thought it was a cop stop, turns out the dumbass was pulled by two cops at once. I couldnt stop laughing when i saw that kid sitting in his car. Im sure it was a pretty ticket

 

what kind of car was it?

 

sorry thought i put it in, an older year civic, not quite sure what model, but it had major engine work done becuase i pulled on me like a 911 or vette would.

 

Crazy to see something like that go so fast, isn't it?

 

That is pretty funny that he got the ticket and not you. I think that using nitrous on the street is pretty dumb too. WHy would you use nitrous after you already won.

what did/do you do?

 

What the hell is shhhhhhhhbooom....The only time Nitrous makes a sound is if ya use a purge valve. Purges are used just before the race so you would have a nice steady steam of liquid Nitrous....It clears the lines. SO my take is that he was using Nitrous right from the start. He probably had a purge and was
excited as Richard Simmions after the win and did a purge sorta as a in your face and also to let ya know he was spraying...but probably more in your face. Otherwise Nitrous is silent....Dimes to dollars he sprayed the whole time. If he was turbo you would of heard the b.o.v.


The street is the best place....Spraying is no more dangerous than street racing itself. Why would I you use Nitrous on the street...Because I can!

Its sweet!

Unless you got a killer pocket book ....losing a race from time to time is part of the deal. No matter what car ya got there is always someone faster. Good post!

 

Actually ever since i saw the car come out back in the day i knew i wanted one. I have two jobs, i work at Great Outdoor Provision Company about 15 hours a week, and detail cars for a company Called Road Scholars. So i had about 10g's for the downpayment and make hte monthly payments pretty easily. Im lucky enought that the parents pay for gas and insurance.

 

as with regards to the "shhhboom" noise, i cant really explain it by typing but it was a weird low hiss type thing going, i dont know. I'm not on the up and up with turbo's and all but, im pretty sure he was running that, or was running that, im curios as to what his ticket was
