Killed a 3000gt
Yeah, so last nite I was driving to my girlfriends house and this 3000 GT got up next to me. He slows down a bit...looks over at me and then punches it. I take the bait and floor it. By the end of 3rd gear I had already passed him and was about 1 1/2 cars ahead. I hit 90 and shut it down...all I could see were his headlights in my rearview.
I wanted to talk to him afterwards, but he made the first right hand turn to avoid me (im guessing)
Anyway, yeah..... Civic - 1 3000 GT - 0
Im sure there'll be more stories to come (Prelude race soon)

Rep Power: 0 No idea but those things are mad heavy. We had one where I used to work, they used it as an ECU tester. My boss raced me in my civic, he won by a fender but my car was completely stock.
Nice kill though, bet he didn't expect to get burned so easily lol.

"there's no way you were even with an sti, it has 300 hp"
"there's no way you were even with an e46 m3 and I still wouldn't believe it if I saw the vids"
... ah, my favorite quotes.
