Default Got killed on the way home from work

Got off work early tonight and on the way home came upon a 2012 g37, it was lowered, good set of wheels, and a fart can, once I got next to it I saw the triple pod a piller gauges and was curious if they were there for a reason or just for looks.... I found out the hard way, we were going about 35 and i slowly started to speed up and he did the same so I knew he was game, we got to about 50 and I heard him hit it, so I did the same, about that time I heard the turbo, we got a decent run in, but we were getting close to town where cops like to hang out and wait for people like us, when we let off I was at 130 and he had a solid 2.5 cars on me, and was slowly still pulling, we came to a red light in town so I took the brief opportunity to gather some info, he said the motor was built, full exhaust and a single turbo running at 10psi. I told him good run and nice car and headed to the house. Guy seemed pretty cool, and honestly I expected him to walk away further than he did, but regardless it made for a fun drive home from work

Honorable Death. Single turbo is an interesting choice.

Lol nah sometime in the distant future this will be a turbo car, gonna build towards that over time, my goal is for the car to make great power and still be streetable, I know I won't be running single digits in the 1/4 but I'd be happy to be in the 10's with a street car that hasnt been gutted, but that's all a dream right now lol, like I said, distant future

nice death....props on posting your own death.....your put up a good fight.....look at it this way, he needed a turbo and built motor to only put 2.5 cars on you till 130.....that's pretty good in my book....

Thanks man,

Gonna go off original topic but its my thread so I can do that lol, was cruising around tonight and had my son with me, (he's 2) so we go through town, and some lil Honda with a wing and a fart can comes up next to us and startin revving up just being obnoxious, well I wasn't gonna race with my son in the car but when we came to the red light he was right next to me, so I decided I'd just show him what he was revving at, so when the light turned green I hit it relatively hard just to be loud and squeel the tires a lil, then I hear something, my son is telling the honda bye and waving at it, cutest and funniest thing I've seen.

Moral of the story even my 2 year old knew the guy would need more than a wing and a fart can to keep up.

Yep.. stall, h/c/i, and NOS. Sometimes I wish I had gotten a Honda Accord... that way I won't want to pour money into it. My mod list keeps growing and I don't think it will ever end.

My biggest dilemma is if I wanna mod this motor a lot or just do bolt ons and save up for the 427 swap I really want,
