I've always thought these cars were super car quick - not any more

He was behind a car waiting for it move over while I shadowed him and held 3rd gear at about 7k rpms.

When the car in front moved over he floored, I floored it, but somehow he wasn't happy to move over when it was clear I was faster

I backed off and flashed him.

We were travelling at over 3 figures so he was definitely trying - he just wasn't fast enough.

The 4.77 gears makes a difference as I've also thrashed a 350Z recently.

 

good kill

 

 

Nice, with out your gears you woulda been toast.

 

+1

good kill

 

awesome, i've wanted to go up with one of those, you think its possible with an ap1 stock with 4.57 gears?

edit*nvm i see you're not EXACTLY stock.
but good great kill nonetheless

 

Good kill.

I ran a E36 M3, when I had my s2k, from about 20 to 80 and I had a slight lead the whole time. It was a similar situation as your encounter, except I was in front. When we came up to the next light he switched lanes next to me and gave me the thumbs up.

 

nice kill...


...but, out of curiosity, what ever made you think that a ~330hp, 3400+ lb. car is "supercar" quick?

 

I used to drive a 1990 Miata 1.6 - every car is supercar when you drive a Miata.

 

this made me really LOL.
