Default raced a new maxima

On the way home, i was just about home and the new maximas come up and revs on me, i think he just had an exhaust. well we turn down this long strip of road and both floor it, he had the car lenght lead because he was in front when we turned, but by the time i was in fourth gear i was about 2 cars ahead or so, i was pretty shocked it was even that close i thought i would of beat him by more. so he wants another race off a roll and we go same results only i have more lead on him. we are at the light and he wants to go off a stop and i have never launched it before so i just said sure why not, but we were just talking and the light turned green so we go up and make a u turn and from this strip of road we both floor it, at about 100 mph we go through this intersection and there is this huge dip and goes up and the bottom of my car or something smacks the ground real hard around 100 mph, i was so scared i messed up my baby so after that i was done. Do you guys think i could of messed anything up pretty badly? i also redlined it once from 3rd to 4th for like a quick second to about like 9200 rpms, is that really bad? i redlined my old rsx all the time, but never with my S, i baby it. well all in all, it was a pretty good race, his car was automatic and it hung pretty well, i was surprised even though it does have a lot of hp and torque. I think im gonna lay off the racing for a while after i like bottomed out my car or something. i hope nothing is wrong with it.

Sounds like fun. I don't think going through an intersection at 100 mph is the brightest thing in the world. Nice kills.
