My SS vs STI So i left the local meet last nite and i was on the on ramp talking on my phone when i notice these headlights riding my ***. So i get off the phone and as soon as the lanes open up he jumps to the left of me and flys by. And i was like "oh **** thats an STI" So i drop it and chase him but he wanted to run because he was waiting for me. We were going about 80-85 and i was trying to get him to slow down but he didnt. I jumped at him and he jumped at me. Then we both hit it at the same time and we were side by side then he pulled a bumper on me....I was like "WTF!!" 
BUt as soon as i got to about 5k i pulled a half car on him until redline and then shifted to 5th and put three more cars and we let off. The race was from like 80-85 to 120-130(not sure) He gave me a scare for about two seconds until the LS1 top end took over. He drove by and gave me a wave then we went our separate ways.
I Know he had intake, exhaust and BOV. From what i could hear and tell.
Sorry for the long story.

80-130...... right in the STi's wheel house 
. He was a tool for even trying.
I could never understand why people would race at the top end. It doesn't have to be from a dig, but from 80 up???? Just seems a little dangerous and silly to me.
But good kill.....gotta love the pull up top on the ls1

skylines really arent THAT expensive, theyre just kind of hard to find and make legal. but you can pick one up for <$30k. nice kill btw, ive never gotten to run one, but i took an evo from ~5-50 and pulled about a car, and was really starting to run away when i let off.
