First Kill. Mitsu 3000GT VR4 Coming home late last night I pulled up next to a Red VR4. I was tired so I didn't think anything of it. I looked over and saw a good lookin blonde in the passenger front seat, and another in the back. It was some guy driving. The other light turns yellow and the guy gives a little rev, but I'm thinking screw it, there's another light about to turn red no more than 50 yards in front of us. Signal goes green and he jumps a little off the line then realizes I'm not going to go, so he slows down. Obviously we both meet up again at the next light, so I line it up and rev at him saying go for it. The other light turns yellow and he revs pretty aggressively and I can hear the turbo start to spool. The light goes green and we take off, he pulls half a car on me then I hit second and put him behind me till 80. Somewhere around me passing him I heard a pretty strange noise come from his car, so I wonder if he missed a shift, or if it was his BOV or something. I'm thinking it was a pretty minorly modded car because the exhaust was pretty quiet (even though I understand this is common in turbo cars?), he had a 3-pod a-pillar set up, but that may not have meant anything. Either way it was a fun race. |
Nothing like burning cars with attractive women in 'em. What better way to poop on someone's ego? :) |

It might have been a blow off valve, though I dont know how much boost those cars make. I like them though, I was looking at them when I found my 'hawk. good kill. It is a great guilty pleasure to demoralize someone in front of their woman...hahaha |
I have a 91 Vr4 and that noise could have been anything. I swear everytime I drive mine something on it breaks. And I drive like a granny |
Sheesh man. Already racing it and hauling speakers in it. How long you plan on keeping it? LOL. Nice kill. Let me know when you head over to AZ Speed, I wanna go with. We'll drag Jovie along too so he get off his near stock ass. You people are making me jealous. |
Did this happen out in Chandler by chance? A friend of mine race a VR4 out there a few months ago. Nice kill. |
Nope it was on 7th ST and Greenway Parkway. |
lol @ demoralize |
What can a VR4 do in the quarter? |
Good run. Good first kill too, I'd love to bump into a VR4. From what i've read on vr4s the stock catback rules and is good for almost 500 so maybe he didn't bother doing any mods to the exhaust. |
