first kill in my my rsx-s

on florida ave near the merchants walk, there was a mustang toying me for some odd reason. it said gt on the bumper on it but theres no way it could have been on... duh! the engine was a v6 from the sound of it. now we are stopped at a light. and yes it was an automatic p.o.s by the way it shifted. i heard a rev, maybe because we both had underglows. and he had a ricetastic rediculous f&f wing. then he winked at me... weird. at first i didnt wanna race since i though it was a gt mustang, but by the lack of burlyness of a v8 and auto, that made me change my mind... its a domestic ricer hahahahaha. i rolled down my window and gave him a thumbs up i really liked his neon green paint job and pruple underglows seriously . that just looked really good with the mustang and i asked him if he wanna race. he said sure. 3 honks of my horn we are off. he got me on first gear (off the line) then on second i pulled. i misshifted to 5th and he started gaining on me.. damn... so i shift back to third and we tied. so we decided to race again. this time i got him on all gears probably because of his massive wheel spin. i dropped the clutch a 4k and got only a lil bit because of my massive 245/45/ZR16 bridgestone tires and new rims i got from ebay. we raced for the third time and beat him again by 2 cars. i shifted at 7.5k rpms the whole way. then we stopped again from a light and asked me my mods. i told him i'm on a cai and stock exhaust. he asked me if i could hook a brotha up (he is actually white). i said no and took off as soon as the light turned green. what a fun time... fyi dropping on neutral in your auto mustang as he tried the second time will eventually break the tranny. DUH!!!!!!!!!

Gahaha. Racing in an auto stang? Pretty much everyone knows how pathetic the Stang's auto transmission is. Unless it was a real auto GT, then he shouldn't have even raced.

Nice kill. You just bought the Type s and you already swapped the K20A2 with the K20A?! (I read your profile ) How much did that run you?

Yah, that sounds about right. I never saw a K20A (ITR) engine go for less than $6000. I'll just cheat and buy the ITR valve cover .

Got any pictures of your car and engine bay?

Not to hijack the thread but coming home on an interstate in my Z after a long weekend out of town by some friends, i had a guy in a mustang riding my *** in the left lane and i was doin almost 90 already (s/l was 65) there was no other traffic and i didnt feel like moving over since i was already so much over the limit. He got over into teh right lane and pulled slowly past me, Older guy prolly 40's or early 50's. He pulled up about 4 cars ahead of me and then just paced me from afar, I was like WTF? He finally gets over to the left lane and continues driving normally. Strange i think to myself since he still hasnt tried to be the big tough guy and show up the rice burner (I was still in the heartland of dumbestic paradise) I figure hes just being an *** so i get over to the right and pull up by him. Finally we are starting to pull up to traffic, so i slow and get behind him and when he sees that the left lane is clear he starts to pull ahead and i follow. After we were clear of the 4 or 5 cars we passed he goes full throttle and i followed. I stayed right with him the entire time all teh way to just short of 140mph before he tapped his brakes and slowed off for some more traffic. Once we were past that traffic he moved to teh right and wanted to be the chaser this time. i start to pull away in the left lane again and he starts pulling away with me in teh right lane. I look back to realize theres a black integra behind me that wants to play too now. He hangs with me for a short while (probably turbo'd?) but around 110 or so myself and the mustang start to pull away from him rapidly and he just backs off. I take teh lead and proceed to near 140 again with the mustang hanging just about the same place he started pulling away with me. I tap my brakes to let him know play times over and we slow down. He moves up a bit along me and we exchange thumbs up, shortly after he takes his exit and i keep going on my way home. Now I know that it was a GT mustang, but im not a big ford fan so i dont really know the specific trims, but i always thought the GT was a 6cyl? And also on that note, he has been teh biggest "mustang" challenge ive had to date with teh Z. Im almost certain he had some mods but will never know. Im more surprised with how quick my car got to around 140 and how stable it drove at that speed.

Nope, it's a V8. 260hp if I'm not mistaken (the newer ones at least).
