Cannabalized a Terminator I ran into a car that was very similiar to mine in appearance. Black, tinted
windows, stainless steel bumper inserts, and lowered. I obviously was
modded, but I have no idea to what extent. I'd say a ported blower, exhaust,
etc if I had to guess based on how it sounded...not sure though.
We were on the highway cruising along at about 75mph then we
backed it down a bit and forced traffic to slow down behind us.
I went from a 4K rpm roll in 3rd gear. I motioned forward twice with
my right index finger. I always give the jump.
So I stabbed the throttle after he did. He was with me for a second or
so I guess before I started to pull on him. I powershifted into 4th at
6,300rpm or so. I normally wind it out to 6,800 since the KB makes power
well past that. Neither of us pushed it too far into 4th gear considering
there was a fair amount of traffic ahead. I really don't know how
far back he was...maybe 5 cars? Perhaps he let off.
Who knows. It was all in good fun anyway.
It was a short sprint, but I think we both had fun. They rolled up next
too me several miles later and we exchanges thumbs up.
They
seemed like cool guys. I'm thankful that it's warm again.
My tune is extremely conservative right now and the nitrous bottle doesn't
get much use these days, especially since it's in the basement. I'll get
aggressive with it soon. It went 128mph on blower with this weak tune
though so I guess that's not all bad.

Nice kill on my favorite flavor man. I think this is the first kill story I have actuall yread from you. Normally I just see you post. It feels good though cannabalizing your own. I know for myself there are faster out there. But to be the fastest of your own is a great feeling. Have you had any other Terminators beat you?

Nope...I haven't had any other Terminators beat me. In fact, I don't
recall losing a race period since I got the KB. However, I certainly
am not saying it won't happen. There are some ridiculous cars around
here. My POS is no match for many of them. It feels slow as **** to me
anyway.

I'm waiting to slap a real tire on it before hitting the track forthe first time this year.
LOL funny you say it feels slow to you. Today I was thinking the same thing aBOUT mine. So I had my wife in the car with me. I decide to do a speed test in the name of science. I hammer it from a 20 roll in 1st. I take it to mid 4th (130) and slow down. I was suprised my wife didnt say anything. Then I look over and she is ghost white. I ask her if it felt fast(knowing damn well the answer) I still have not talked to my wife since her last 3 words at 2. "get me home" God I am so going to be divorced if I dont quit that ****!LOL

nice kill unit- not much is going to **** with that car on the highway anyhow.
i raced a 01 ninja 750 (zx-7 i think, it was still carbeurated) with my girlfriend in the car- on the juice obviously. from a dig i launched even with him and proceded to pull him upstairs- i got him by a few carlengths (probably shitty rider- dunno). at 120mph or so. - this is the FIRST time my girlfriend has been in the car while it is sprayed
after i shut it down and begin braking my girlfriend asks "is that it? did you use the nitrous?"
im like "honey, i just beat a ******* street bike, what do you think?" . needless to say my ego was immediately crushed and my car feels really slow to me now- time for more power i guess.
