Default 3000gt...possibly a vr4??

So coming home from work today i spent my usual 35 minutes sitting still in traffic, and once everyone gets to the end of the construction, they are so disgusted, everyone flies off. so as usual, i swing wide and start pulling away, kind of playing cat and mouse with a ford truck...then i realized someone behind me was flipping the highs at me..i knew right away it was a newer 3000gt, and he was swerving back and forth behind me, as if i wasnt going fast enough, but i was running around 80 in a 55. the road then went to 3 lanes, and he swung to the far lane, and thanks to some traffic, i kept him behind me. well, we got out away from the traffic, and he got along side me, and i down shifted into 3rd, and stayed rigth along side him. as we got around 120, i thought, wow, my car is staying right with him..he started beeping liek crazy, and i looked over, opening my windows, and i heard him shift, and i he smiled, i returned the smile and al of a sudden..i seemingly stopped...i stayed WOT until i was around 140, but at that point, eh was so far ahead of me, that i just got off it. way down the road, i caught up to him, and his tags read somethign to the effect of N2OVR4, and he had huge exhaust..i tried to pull a flyby, but as soon as i got close, the back end squated down, and he stayed in front of me, then opened his window and waived me past, and pulled into the exit lane..i looked over, and gave him a thumbs up, which he returned, then pointed behind us, and there was a hardcore Riced out 6 stang, which proved to be a 6 cylinder, who was trying to keep up. i felt he was a bit more along my lines of competition...and i handled him very nicely.

At least your car isn't electronically limited to 120mph like mine is, at least for now.[:@] He was spraying eh, the Stang would have no chance, at least is it was only a 6.

So this guy was spraying on the Highway? That will eat his motor up in no time if he keeps that up. I'm impressed, weren't you?

Sounds like you had some fun.It's pretty sad that he's got a VR4 and still needs to spray it.[X(] They may be AWD TT's, but they are still heavy pigs especially the last several years with the added weight of the active aero not to mention the AWS. Heavy, heavy, heavy.[&:]
