Red face rx-7 vs hawk

i just got this hawk few weeks ago from one of the member on here and this is my first real race. i know ive raced few evos,c5 and etc etc but this was something worth posting it.. so here it goes.....

i was getting some sushi for lunch with my gf and was just chilling about 70mph and all of sudden i knew something was next to me. it was red mazda rx-7 with pillar gauges,wing,hood,exhaust and i heard BOV...or wastgate sound. anyhow, i believe that my hawk is putting down about 409rwhp so i figure it should be an easy kill but guess what. i was wrong. we went from 50-140mph and that rx-7 was pulling on me(very slowly) and he was about 2 car lengths at the end of the race. after 140mph we both slowed down to 60mph and i gave him a thumbs up and he returned the same.. what a cool guy...

after lunch, my gf asked what it will take to make my car faster and i told her about NOS... then she said she will pay for the NOS~!!
guess i won something..

ps i love my girl...

What the-ever-loving-****?!?!

Where in all of creation do you people find these chicks!?!

She. Will. Pay. For. Nitrous.

O.M.F.G.

Does she have a sister?

And hey, nice death. The RX7s that are still running are often part of the 'Go big or Go Home' type crowd, and they can be plenty friggin mean.

A 100 shot would fix this problem pretty darn quick.

Don't let that one get away. The only thing I ever get from my girl is a slap on the back of the head if the back of hers hit my seat. HAHAHA

Yeah there are a few of us lucky enough to find a "hot rod" girl. My wife will race you in our SS quicker than I will. Oh she also changes her on oil, plugs, wires, and with my help do any other work on a car. Damn I love her!!! Nice death.

My girlfriend, now wife, bought me a B&M shifter for Christmas once. I really wanted roller rockers because I had a shifter already. Oh well, it was the thought that counts. Now you should lose more often on purpose and work your way up to a turbo.

Nice death. I had a rivalry going with a local RX-7 for a while (in the Cobra) and that thing was plenty quick. Girls like yours were raised right by their Papa's. My 17 y/o daughter just did the altenator in our M30 vert yesterday while I observed. Ya gotta teach 'em right.
