Default solstice vs ap1

Today while taking a spin, some douche bag kid in a non turbo solstice pulls up to me and revs his engine. I was with the female so I ignore the kid as the female gets mad if I race. The kid insisted on racing and to my surprise my gf tells me, "ugh you should beat his ass " so I anxioulsly drove up to the red light where he was waiting. I revved my engine to 6k and lauched the S, he never stood a chance, I beat him so bad that I regret wasting my gas, and perhaps my engine life. However, I gave him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps he might of messed up and raced him again, ony this time on a roll. Results didn't change as the S was victorious. Embarrassed the dude busted a U turn and hauled away with defeat.

The day wasn't over yet though, I guess it was roadster night as a white turb'd sky pulled up next to me, ( female was home already ) I knew he wanted to race as he slowed down and would gun it, others would call it a ricer flyby. As the lanes cleared up for us we both floored it at around 50ish, I got the pull by like a car and maintained it like that until i hit 120ish were he was slowly creeping, I hit the brakes as it was too much for me. I gave him a 2nd chance as we both turned right, this time we started at exactly 20mph, little did he know about vtec! I pulled a little bit more this time and he never caught up.

Overall a goodnight, I'm proud of the S; even though its age it can beat cars that should have better technology.. and it beats cars that turn into robots! LOL Transformers anyone?

I encounter a sky turbo a few weeks back with a friend, it had a turbo enblem on the back from what I saw. I wasn't in my s2k at the time(I woulda lost ), but I was in a friends SC s2k. We pulled it bad and I mean "bad", if my friends s2k was turbo we would've raped it. Thou I really like how the sky look thou Only if it had a japanese/german enblem Thou Im begining to shift to US made autos and I'm asian. Torque=FTW
