VR4 Goes down

sedanman · 03-21-2001, 01:33 PM

I was on my way to school today when I notice a nice looking 3000GT comming onto the interstate, I say to myself it is probably just a SL like always, than as it grows near I can tell the dude is trying to catch up to me than I notice it is a older buisness man, Than I slow down and notice the VR4 emblems on the back so I get back beside him and he kicks it! I am caught off guard but manage to slip it into 3rd, the tires bark and I am off, he has a 3/4 car jump, by the top of third I am less than half a car down shift to 4th and I am gone, I mean I left him! then he does the old flyby type thing and I tuck in behind him, I see him nail it, this time I just left it in 4th and I began to pull I just stayed stuck on his a$$, finally when he goes to exit I pull beside him he would not even look over, but his friend did, I gave a wave and was on my way.

Inferno I ran a Stealth TT from a stop when I had my nitto's and I pulled him by atleast 2 cars to a hundered, he only got me by a little out of the hole 1/2 car or less. I pulled on the VR4 bad (I think it was auto, did they make them in auto) I mean 3rd was short becuase we were going like 70 but I still offset his jump and pulled before even shifting to 4th!

Yeah they did make them in autos. The jump with the race with the auto R/T would have been worse had you not had the nittos. VR4's are dogs after about 70....you can ask a VR4 owner and he will tell you the same.
