Default 95ZPRO.you there? others read my victory

just wanted to share my latest victory with you all..

brand new cute little nissan Z teased me so we kept on each other all on 151 hwy.......got on the exit to get on 1604 loop on the NW side of San Antonio and its real curvy so you have to slow down...and then it was on.....

he got next to me....and we just gunned it......he started fading away like a bad dream.....before I knew it I was at 95mph going into 5th gear...

poor little guy thought he could keep up......

best part....it looked like he spent about $2K on rims and tires on a car that isnt paid off..... and my paid off old little 97 Trans am...embarrased him..

Come strong or STAY home.

Nice run, but what does that have to do with a race? No offence but your car better be paid off it's 10 years old. Your not going to find too many people that have the title in hand to new cars.

You should have still been in 3rd gear. This is an m6 ?? My 3rd gear is good for 120 or so and you were shifting into 5th at 95 mph ?? A kills a kill but you should have had been a mile ahead of him had you topped each gear. I go into 5th at 150 mph. Hmmmm. Not breaking your ***** here, just wondering about your decision on when to shift while racing.

?? on a 3.42 car, 3rd is only good to 101 or 102. what gearing are you running to hit 120 in 3rd?

3rd gear at 6800 rpms is around 122 so I try to shift around 118 so I don't bump the rev limiter. I don't know what my ratio is in 3rd but its standard c5 gearing for an m6.
