Default Add a R32 GTR Skyline to my kill list in Japan

I had not diven my Camaro for 6 weeks as my 4l60e had bit the dust and my new level 2 from Performabuit was being bought freighted and fitted over that time period.
Anyway yesterday I paid the mechanic his blood money and picked up my car and drove it around checking the new trans then later in the evening(I had my Girl Friend in the car by this time) I was about to get on the expressway when a metalic blue GTR came flying past me and when he was out in front of me I saw some flames shoot out from his exhust so I chased after him and at the next set of lights dragged him out of the hole and did it again from another 2 maybe 3 sets of lights and I also was faster from a rolling start.
This was done with out using N02 on stock rims 16'' and with the extra 110 pounds of girlfriend weight in the car that the guy driving the GTR didn't have.

Sweet. If flames are coming out the exhaust it's pretty safe to say he was not stock

I had a GTR32 when I was stationed in Misawa. I was runnin 18lbs of boost, fuel system, bolt ons yadda yadda..... I thought it was fast. Then I came back to the states and got a 98 formula. I new instantly that it (at this point stock) would have eaten the skyline.

It's ironic here the skyline is an icon and there the muscle cars are. I wonder if there are some hardcore import owner's that can't stand muscle cars over there like some of the hardcore domestic owner's can't stand import cars over here.

Awesome kill! I'm sure there are jerks over there just like here, but there are probably plenty of really cool people who just like fast cars too.

I've heard you could sell your muscle car get **** load of $$ for it. Make sure you bring some performance parts b/c you'll get a big chunk of change.

It was fun but I cant wait to get some new tires(DRs) and LCA relocation brackets should help improve things a bit more.
