So I was coming home from work on saturday and there is a one lane mountain road that I use to get there.I take it all the time to go hom and out of nowere a 240 pulls up on my butt. so I hit the gas and so did he (it has been a while!). the road consistes of 6 back to back hairpin curves towards the end. when we hit those I said oh no I am finally going to see how good these cars are in the coners( I had not seen them in person). so I go in as fast as the celi will let me into the first turns. and the 240 gets on the side of me and I am like oh s**t he is going to pass me but infact he brakes before I do and I see him ( from my rear view!) taking the turns like a newbie and I lose him. then he catchs up to me and we end up talking at the gas station at the end of the road(me and him had no gas). anyway to get to the point he tells me he is into drifting and that he one of the best aound my are. here I am with a st front wheel drive and bald tires and I out handled a tune 240 with what looked like some who knew what he was doing(I tested his knowlege of course. I know I am not that good hell I need more pratice on moutain type raods but to me I should have been left in the dust don't you think? or is the 240 over hiped.

almost no matter how good of a driver you are he should have worked you over. you may have him on cornering (celicas are pretty good at) but theres no way that if he was anything of a driver you could have beat him. he SHOULD have had you easily, but its really up to the driver and the fact you were in front of course.
how wide was the road? -------------------- Former: 96 GT 5 speed (i/p/e) Fate- rear ended by mack truck
00 GTS 6 speed (i/ Bored TB 63mm - 68.5mm w/ butterfly/ Ported IM/ IMG/ PFC/ Commander/ datalogit/ Ported & heat wrapped Header/ Decat/ UEGO/) 193FWHP 14.2(1/4mi) @98mph, 2.12 60ft (just intake, unbolted Exhaust, and gutted) Fate- side swipped by 18 wheeler at 75mph. Next: maybe an elise |
