Default Two S2k's vs porsche vs ford Probe V6 hwy battle

Was cruisin home with my friend Britney down hwy 99 from Vancouver heading southbound and this guy in a black 24 valve v6 probe is right next to me wanting me to run so long story short he became a speck in my mirror and that was that. But after coming out of the massey tunnel, these Hid's come flying up behind me and all I can make out is that its a 99+porsche. Anyway he is about to fly by me and I downshifted to 4th and that put me at about 5200-5500 rpm and then in kicked vtec and the porsche slowly starts to stop pulling and he got about a car and a half in front of me and I was gaining on him real fast. By this point I could see the flat backend, no slope like the 911's so it was a boxster (not the S). Well anyway we kept on cruisin for a bit at about 160-170 km/h and I am not normally a speeder that goes that much over the limit so I was watching out for the boys in blue and we came up on another S2k silver, and he was like no way Im passing this up, so the 3 of us where rippin down the hwy and everytime I hit it with the porsche I started pulling easilly and we took it to about 212 km/h and the other S was not really with us at that point (more cautious) which I should have been. But I never get chances like this ever so I went for it. Also there was no traffic whatsoever. The worst part about it is I had my digi cam in the center console and a passenger to film it but was so caught up in the moment that I never even thought of it, Kickin myself now. But earlier in the night I did see a silver Lambo Murcielago parked downtown which was pure sex on wheels I must say. Definately loving my car even more now and the fact that I beat a car that costs way more then mine with a higher displacement engine.

Sounds like fun! Do you have any mods?

Just about every poster on this forum uses this line...I'm starting to find it quite amusing.

My car is bone stock, only future mods are vortech kit with AC, AEM ems, bigger injectors, 17 or 18" white volk TE-37's, amuse lip, J's carbon hood, and maybe gears not sure.

It is probably true, most people don't typically make a habbit of going out and exceeding the speed limit by great amounts, but the fact is in a car like this the temptation is always there and sometimes it bites, and theres always the board to come share with others when we get home

Or this one "I'm just minding my own business..." It may be true in some cases, but everyone on here says that.

I don't race with passengers for several reasons besides safety, but with her in the seat maybe 140 pounds thats about a 10-14hp loss right there man.

Anyone else hate it when some "baller" mentions his "future mawdz list"?

Serisously, if I had a dollar for every guy with a Civic that's getting his swap or turbo...or a dollar for every WRX owner getting a VF34...or a dollar for every 3rd gen Camaro owner getting a 350 swap... or a dollar for every 350Z owner getting a RB26DETT swap...or especially a dollar for every 240sx owner getting a SR20DET swap...or a dolllar for every LS1 owner getting a H/C/I setup...or a dollar for every RSX owner getting a cybernation turbo kit...or a dollar for every hyundai accent owner that's getting his cold air intake...


Did I get the point across?

Nope, I'm still very confused.



But this baller (me) is really getting a supercharger soon. I think the bug has really bitten me after 3 years of owning the car. Lately and only lately, I've been thinking about adding a supercharger. Never really cared for them before. I hope I can fight the bug off to save money, otherwise, I would have to give you a dollar and put an S/C on.
