Cruising down Braeswood in Houston and I see what I thought was a customized Nissan Stanza coupe. It had a front fascia with large round driving lights that looked kinda like the ones on the new Subaru WRX. About 3/4 the size of normal round head lights. This wasn't a WRX. About the size of an earlier Accord and a little "boxy". Not any big wing and no stickers anywhere. I looked at the rear for any model designation and saw none. All I saw was a GTR on the deck lid.

To make a short story even shorter we ran even from a light to 60 MPH. My jaw probably dropped 6". The guy waved friendly like and turned off. My car runs 0-60 at 5.3 on a good day. 5.5 probably on a day like today (100 F in Houston).

This was either an earlier Skyline ('90ish), or a heavily and tastefully modified Nissan Stanza with N2O2.

I had to let off at 60 on an ordinary street because a car pulled out in my lane. We were dead even. Needless to say, this Nissan suprised the heck out of me.
