Between Radford and Blacksburg, Virginia is a two-lane snake of a road (I'd name it but there are enough county sheriff's already stalking it that it's losing its appeal). In all it's about eight miles of twisty, off-camber, up and down hills with a 45 mph speed limit for the most part. No place for roll-on, straight line acceleraion; no cluth dropping burn outs - just you and your car. The "bump" goes like this. You get 10 feet off the bumper of your "chase car" and go. If you're still 10 feet off at the end, you switch positions and reverse the route. The winner is the driver who has pulled away at the end. If neither pulls away, then it's a tie. So far, I've dusted the following: a black Ford Lighting (no contest but these idiots seem to think a supercharger makes them a good driver); every Mustang (GT & SVT) I've encoutered (I traded a Cobra for my AP2 and know their every weakness); a black (only one thus far) `06 GTO, a red 05 G35 coupe, one yellow AP1, a red Magnum R/T Hemi, a white Lamborghini Countach (relica & a real dog), two 350zs (they wallow in the curves), and a wide variety of other Nissans with who knows what in mods but mostly nothing but cheap mufflers for that ubiquitous sound effect that says "I'm soooo loud and sooooo slow." My `06 AP2 mostly stock, but I've extensive track experience. My losses were to a black Z06 Vette driven by a sly geriatric dude, a yellow Lotus Elise (I won't even try it again), and a nefarious Porsche 911 turbo. Bottom line: in straight line racing the hardware is more important than the driver. In road racing the driver rules virtually every time. Invest in some track time and instruction over expensive parts. It's not only more fun, but twice the excitement.

 

The only good roads around me are usually empty or at least devoid of "challengers." I'm always solo, but that's probably a good thing.

Impressive list of kills!

 

Sounds like an episode of Initial D Which i do love BTW

 

Yep, you gotta watch those dudes. His having a Z06 probably helped a good bit.

Kudos to your driving skills. Keep safe.

 

yeah you just described a touge battle or initial d, lol

 

I wish we had something like that around here. I know a couple of S2000 owners that will be really popular in those races.

 

East Coast Touge!!!! How does Keiichi Tsuchiya say it..."Real men attack the corners! ...Anyone can go fast in a straight line."!

 

touge!

 

nice nice nice. so where these all intentional? Like did you roll up next to the Z06 and yell, "YO!...Wanna bumper dance!?" or was it just an encounter adn you guys played cat and mouse?

 

Sounds like need for speed: carbon's canyon runs haha
