Default Nissan Sentra by a fender!

Well I ran into an old high school buddy of mine on Sat comming back form a car hangout near D.C. He had sold his Mustang (4.6) for this Nissan Sentra (92) that looked like pure rice, and I ask him "what were you thinking?" He gets a little heated and tells me that he beat his dad's 2002 Zo6 with no problem. So I am thinking he so full of shxx at this point, then he pops the hood. All I see is a intake comming off the big turbo. He goes on with all his mods, engine swap, turbo (10 Lbs of boost) and so on...

After eating, we decide to run each other. 1st form a dig, I pull a few inches from him, he shifts into 2nd and pulls even with me. I could not shake him as I hit 3rd ( getting nerves ). Then as I hit 4th about 120mph I had only a fender on him. Wow, this car was no joke! I hate ricers but this sentra almost saw my head lights....so watchout for those pos sentras lol

BTW the 2nd race was the best part. I fliped the switch (from a 30 mph roll) put an extra 175hp on him and handed him his a$$ = about 5-6 cars on him!

Damn that was a close one. Good kill! Way to keep the LS1 vs rice ratio in order.

Nice kill. Sounds like these ricers are getting too close to us. I like the second run, though. I'll probably drop a 75 shot in mine this summer "just in case"

yeah man, that is a large dryshot. just as long as you have the fuel to match it. when was the last time you checked your sparkplugs on your car. if you have not done it in a while, i would suggest you do. see how well the burn is. if you are getting brown specs on the white part of your plugs, you are starting to fry your motor. if the tip of the spark plug is turning blue, you have a good burn, and you got no probs......

I plan to up grade to a wet kit, thinking about TNT. Your right about the plugs, I do keep a good eye out for them, but so far so good. Just cant wait to get these H/c installed, then I might run a 100 shot if all is going well.

I would find no shame in losing to a Sentra. The dude drives a Sentra. Wouldn't want to be him.
