Off Topic Discussion. These posts do count towards overall post count. This is by far the best subforum on the site.

A couple days ago a B5 S4 tried to pass me and cut me off before the on-ramp to get onto I-25 at County Line. I was in no mood and pulled hard on him and hauled ass onto the onramp and decided not to get out of the gas after getting through the tight curve part and next thing I know I'm doing 110 and he is far in my rearview lol. Not really a true challenge because he wasn't really racing me, but it was fun to give him a nice little surprise when he thought he was going to speed up and pass me and get on the onramp before me.

Be careful in that area. Lone Tree PD sits out there shooting laser all the time.

In the 4 years I have been doing the commute to Denver, been getting on I-25 south at County Line every time, I have never seen a single cop on the looooong on-ramp that weaves under 470. I was slowed back down before I got onto I-25, and I won't be making it a habit of going that fast through there either, heh. Cause if a cop happened to be on I-25 I was highly visible and they could have easily slapped me with a reckless even without clocking me.

When I was commuting to Denver, I routinely saw Lone Tree PD at I25 and County Line road. they'd sit there in a Hummer and shoot laser in the wee hours. Maybe they stopped, but I was always on 25 and heading north to 225, so it could just be timing. either way, be careful.

Yea, like I said, it's not an every day occurrence, and actually I almost never speed through there. I will keep a lookout though.

Ran my neighbor's 08 WRX today, just a quick 40-80 run but in that time I put about 3 cars on him hehe. I'm pretty sure he's stock, and I'm...not.

Had the most awesome experience tonight: Ran a white 350z that had an exhaust (sounded deep) and then i also think i heard an intake. We ran doors from 55 to 145 (i know it was dangerous haha) then since it was a two lane road this large semi was in front of me so i slowed down he gained at least two lengths on me then i moved over and tried to catch up but he had me =( damn traffic but that was still amazing There was no way that z was stock

On my way back from the midnight launch of God of War III at GameStop some kid in a 1.8T Jetta kept looking back at me and speeding up (he was in the lane next to me) then slowing down and speeding up again. I didn't know wtf he was doing so I gunned it and put much distance between us. He tried to keep up but I left him far far behind.

My wife drove a 1.8T Jetta for a while and it was a fun car with a nice interior, but no way could it keep up with my SRT4 or my MS3.

The MS3. I traded in my SRT4 for my MS3 so I don't have it anymore.

Someone refresh my memory. What do MS's run stock on the 1/4. Maybe I'm thinking MS3 but you should have atleast creeped from him pretty good. I've seen 350zs pull high to mid 15s up here. Not sure an intake and exhaust would net that much power for a NA car. Then again I don't remember what MS6's run up here.

Doing 145 in traffic is a little excessive. Even 100 is excessive.

350Zs can be tricky. With a tune, they can be quick. I've had one pull away from me before.

I ran a 15.4 at Bandi with CAI and TP, but that was with 2.16 60' and it was only my first time at the strip ever, so I would think high 14s for a stock MS6 at this altitude with a good driver.

Three separate challenges today.

1. G8 GT saw me coming up behind him and decided he didn't want me to pass, so he gunned it. I passed him anyway (multilane highway...).

2. Chick in a Neon (non-SRT) with at least an aftermarket exhaust. I ignored her.

3. Dude in a White 2005 STi. Upgraded turbo, TMIC, dp, up, intake, tune. 343 to the wheels. LOL. Buddy of mine decided to show off and fly by me. I was already at WOT and it looked like I was standing still. LOL.

I assume it wasn't an SRT Cherokee?
