Default Ran a Turbo Nissan Silvia

Ok..my son and I pull into the gas station to fill up and we see a black silvia a few pumps down. I throw a few revs as we pull in and we begin to get our gas. As we are leaving the silvia pulls out behind us and throws a rev to let us hear his BOV (which was loud as hell). Anyway we play on the street for two lights and then we both make a U-turn and pull over. We talk for a few minutes and we decide to take the cars to the interstate for a little top end action. As soon as we get on the interstate and get lined up at 65 MPH we take off. God I love the 4-2 kickdown of the A4. I was at 95 while he was still shifting. While it wasnt a huge kill, we did pull hard and constant until 120 and then let off. Did it two more times with the same outsome. Gave the thumbs up and went our seperate ways. Cool guy though and a beautiful car.

Silvia? Never heard anyone in the US refer to a 240 SX as a Silvia. Where are you Japan

My commute is not too bad, but it seems to be getting worse. I work off of exit 12 on 400. Its exactly 43.5 miles from my driveway to the parking lot. Most mornings it takes me 60 minutes to drive in. Evenings its a little faster (50 minutes). The only bad traffic is when you get to Cumming. If you move up here and work in Buford, you would probably head over to Gainesville and hit 985. That would not be a bad commute at all.

There are about 3 weekends of Friday Night test & tune left at Commerce before the track closes for the season. You ought to run a couple of times. Unfourtunately the track is as bad as you've heard.

Congrats on the kill and hope to hear from you
