So there I was...traveling down 495 toward the beach w/ 3 other people in the Z. I pass this riced out honda accord (~88-91) with chrome rims doing abou 75 mph and casually look at him. Now this kid is big, with 2 other people in the car. He catches my glance and decides he wants to race. I didnt really want to because my CAT is all plugged up and rattling but I went against my instincts and went for it. I pushed the pedal to the floor and let those ponies ride. By the time I was pulling away I was at 115mph (only about 10-12 seconds later) and kinda wanted to keep going cuz the car felt good and wanted more. But I decided enough was enough and flashed the brake lights a couple times and slowed it down. I was about 1 car length ahead and gaining ground. Well once I slow down guss what happened? The old ricer fly-by. Well it was fun but I felt I could have done better w/out a loaded car and a full tank of gas. It was also running hot cuz I had just switched off the AC for the race (about 235 degrees). But man did that thing sound like crap. Had the big old exhast tip. It sounded like a weedwacker but not as smooth. The weedwacker sounds better in my opinion. But he must have done something to that car to hit those high speeds. I didnt think oldskool accords were that fast?
