So there was this RX-8...
(If you detest street racing read no further)
...weaving in and out of traffic on the highway up ahead of me. So I was like, why not , and let my lead foot do the rest to catch up with him. His car was brand spanking new and still had 30 day tags. I ended up right behind him at a stop light and got a closer look at his ride - 18" rims, polished rotary emblem, spoiler and full MazdaSpeed body kit... The light turns green and the guy just peels off, so I couldn't resist and just went after him in hot pursuit! We didn't break any speed limits but went from 0-55 pretty darn quickly, with my SVX hanging on his tail the entire way! When we got to another stop light (where the guy turned off at a country club) he was looking over my SVX in admiration. We made a brief nod at each other and parted ways... Not bad for my afternoon ride home! -Chike

Way to go, just let my ticket be a reminder, never race or it will screw with you for a while.
Congrats on teaching the yuppie to never mess with the SVX. Keith P.S. We all know you weren't trying, right?

I'll say this - I didn't spin a tire (but he did ) and my engine is in 'safe mode' due to my knock sensor being bad.
Technically we weren't racing - we just came off of the exit ramp and merged at the speed everyone else was moving, at a rate faster than most cars would be able to! Those RX-8's look beautiful though - the body kit is blah, but the overall proportions are very appealing. I wouldn't own one, b/c for the money, I'd rather have an STI or EVO. -Chike Quote:

Cobb Tunning makes some great tuner WRX's but they're so pricey! During Car & Drivers 4 cylinder Super Flea challenge last year, they came with a modified WRX that stickered over 80K.
I'm sure a built 2.5L would be sweet, but I just love the sound of our flat 6's! I think Porter was mentioning that some company in Australia was developing a built EG33 engine - that's what I'd like to drop in my SVX racer! ...and this will probably be my last post ever about street racing. I plan on joining the SCCA next year and competing in AutoX events with SVXRide and Newsvx. I'll take out RX-8's, SRT-4's and 350Z's there! -Chike Quote:
