==========The Story===========

The guy. . I wont mention his name. . .Tends to talk a LOT of trash when it comes to his car. I actually bought my 300Zx from him. . well. . his father I should say. . same guy that bought him is prebuilt Type-R. . .lol. . Told everyone that he is the fastest Type-R in the town and that there is no one in this town that could touch him. LMAO. . well today we raced. . .

We lined up. . and we were just crusin around so I just light up the tires in a nice gear killin' brakestand as he bolted off in his Type R. After I caught up we just stayed lined up at about 50 - 60 mph and then I could hear him drop it so I did the same. I got out in front about a half a car length just as I heard the VTEC in his car kick in and he started to creep up on me. This went on to over 120 mph until be got only about a half a car length in front of me and I had to brake to let him in because of on-coming traffic.
I just sort of find it ironic that he says he paid $13,000 to build his car (which he bought it like that mind you. . lol) and I have put maybe $3,000 into may car including suspension stuff and he isn't pulling away from me like I am standing still.
Guys!! What would you do with $13,000 to your 300ZX NA?? I tell you I certainly wouldnt be NA anymore and I certainly wouldnt be barely losing to a Type-R. . .I would be walking all over him!! ha ha. . .

I just thought you guys might have gotten a kick of my first good bragging rights even though i didnt win. . .its the fact that he didnt completely dust me with all those MODS. . ha ha. . and I have practically nothing!!!

What do you guys think? Should I be bragging for that lose? I mean. . I just ordered the Stillen Headers and I am dead set on beating him after that. :D
