Thanks for the compliments guys, I have been wanting to race a turbocharged S2K for a while, and racing someone cool just made the whole experience that much better.

BlownAP: He told me it was turbocharged, I just can't remember the details, we were at the light, so he was talking pretty fast, and I'm not up to speed on the normal turbo-S2K mods. At 135 I was probably a full car-length behind him, and things were swinging more in his favor by the millisecond.

I can understand why he didn't catch me from a dig, even a stock S2000 in cold weather can be a handful on the street, let alone a boosted one. He was probably still spinning a bit hitting 3rd.

However, from a roll I expected nothing less than a terrible beating, and though I was clearly beat, I'm happy it wasn't too bad, especially for having only 2 power mods.

My alky-control kit should put me at a low 12 with a few supporting mods, but I still think I'll lose the roll if I run up against another boosted S2K, especially one that's really running "HY-PSI".

Sometimes I think I should just get an FP Green with good supporting mods and really lay down some law, but then I'd be drawing crazy-boost EVO's like flies, and that's normally a losing proposition no matter the mod list.

Cheers
