you have possibly one of the two best looking cars to come out of Japan in my opinion. :thumbs up:

any guesses as to why you lost the first race?

YES! the HELLA more hp supra passed me up on the roll. that 300+ hp comes in handy, especially on top end.

I had a simillar run with an MKIV auto too.... the first race i completely bogged so we went pretty even till about 70 were he just completely walked me and the second time i got a great launch and got maybe 2 cars ahead than again around 85 he again just walked me badly. of coarse the guy had exaust and from the looks of things (had like 20 guages) im sure he had more than that....but that top end destroyed me. Of coarse once i saw him start to walk me i just braked hehehehe.

Drageur,

Were you one of the cars at the RX-7 get-together in Elk Grove in the Chili's parking lot a couple Sundays ago? There were some sweet cars there!! I was the silver S2000 just getting off of work driving by to check out your rides. Were you there?
