Default first race this year!

hey guys. Today I raced a nissan pulsar GTi-R thing, right hand drive. Ive seen it around town for a couple years with some younger guy driving it and today I got a chance to run em. we went from like a off idle roll I guess through a light and I put about 1.5-2 cars on him up to about.....90 then shut it down. he followed me to my street and was like "f**k you got a fast mustang". seeing as theres not too many nice cars around here hes probably used to kicking there asses. The thing was pretty quick tho and surprised me but wasnt quick enough. I read up on them and it say they have the SR20DET motor. pretty nice little car.
anyways thats about the only race ive had since the vortech so I was happy.

its a pretty small car so maybe the power to weight makes up for it. I saw some specs on it and it said 0-60 in mid 5's and the quarter in high 13's so its not too bad stock, add some go fast parts to the SR20DET and it could haul decent. either way im stoked lol

hey might have cuz his reaction was priceless. I havent run my car yet against too much else and havent been to the track yet this year because they might be shutting it down but I wonder what I would run.
