I daily drive a stock Sy. The other day I went to Sears to pick up a large cabinet for work (I am a GM technician). As you can imagine, it barely fit in the bed, but it all fairness, didn't weight too much. As ridiculous as it may have looked, little truck with huge appliance looking box in the back, I managed to get an oriental dude in his 40s with his wife in his S2000 to race me over and over. I couldn't help laughing in his face after each time I smoked him, because of my cargo. Someone's going to be researching "small back truck with red letters" on the honda forum.
So today I was about to enter my community after a long hard day at work, when I see none other than the modded S2000 that defeated both my Wife and myself previously. This guy drives well and has beaten me on video when I was driving my best friend's stock automatic '93 RX-7, as well as spanking my Wife's slow RX-8 several times since we live in the same community. Somehow I never manage to run into him when I am in one of my fast rides (RX-7 or Syclone). So today I followed him and asked him to race after explaining who I was. He refused to go from a stop which is a great decision on his part. From a 30 mph roll, he pulled 2 cars on me to my suprise, although very slowly and steadily. He was just as suprised that a "truck" kept up with him as I was that I didn't beat him. It turns out he has intake, exhaust and a 75 SHOT OF NITROUS !!! Th second time he insisted on racing from a 30 mph roll again, although he agreed to run without the bottle (no nos). I jumped before the 3rd honk (afraid the AT would downshift in time) and unfairly gained a 2 car lead which he never was able to reduce although the tried up to 100 mph. We said our goodbyes and were on our way since we spotted a police car up the street.
Not bad I guess, it was good to finally catch the guy but I need to beat him straight up to get satisfaction for all the times he beat or eluded me.
