GEoMaNTiK Member 179 Member For: 19y 6m 17d Location: Melb (Mexican) Posted 29/12/05 03:34 PM Share Posted 29/12/05 03:34 PM (edited) My T had just hit the 1600K mark, so it was only a matter of time before my first challenge on the roads, didn't realise it would be a close one with an old car, I think I just underestimated the VL Turbo's potential.The guy in the VL was stalling his machine up heaps for a good jump and I knew he would get a nice start.No way in the world I'm stalling my new baby up at the moment, I'm not out to destroy the new ZF box just yet. Anyway we both launch on green, he got his nose in front until I'd hit 5000rpm in 1st, 2nd sprung to life right through to 5500rpm which I pulled in front by 1/2 cars length, only in 3rd did I really start to pull away when I decided get the foot off the gas. I didn't want anything to do with it by this stage.I had traction control switched on, however didn't notice it kick in at all and used D Performance mode, I was just really surprised at his effort, I had given no respect to the VL T before this.Damn it was an adrenalin rush - 1st did me proud it's just a solid launch gear ratio, though somehow I've walked away from this scratching my head as to it being an old fart car and it was keeping up with my new sparkling T.

Street trim I think the quickest ever was in the 10's.

Man I can only imagine right now, I'm still adjusting to the balls I've recently got and they are big balls at that.

I drove my T as hard as I possibly could and had no more to give even if I needed it, so yeah you could say I drove it like I stole it and loved it!The VL dude was out to show me up, thank god I hit the gas hard on launch or this thread would have started like... I just got whooped, I have no $$$'s after xmas but I need to buy an edit with our mortgage money NOW!!!

Posted 29/12/05 11:30 PM Share Posted 29/12/05 11:30 PM vik u should realise that not everyone races to win, and "make the other guy run for the hills".. people race for fun, they dont care if the other car is quicker, they want to see how they would go against it.its not as serious as some of you guys see it..
