But all in all, it was fun....I think I showed all the v6 guys that I wasn't full of crap when I say my lil 4 banger se sport is peppy! Hell I has hanging right in there with Cosmin Grooves all the way to the 128mph mark (while he was chasing a stang) and still had about 5000 rpms to go in 5th gear! Though Grooves' 2 extra cyclinders showed there place about that time (yea i said it, i hit 130 before i slowed down and didn't govern out like a few people said it would) So grooves....i was going 130...meaning you were chasing a stang at atleast 145....your freaking crazy..then again if I was in my ws6, i woulda done the same so can't blame you hehe. just all of a sudden i look down..see 130 on my speedo...then i get a bad image of a flamming car accident due to bad tires and ridonkculous speed..........had to let you go bro!!!but yep the twisties was really fun, i was very pleased at how my lara handled all the tight corners and stuff, though the constent gear shifting made me feel like i was in a damn ridge racer game lol you automatic guys had it made...fekers!!
hahaha! Gotta call you out on some of your facts.

That mustang shut down at 130 and I was right on his tail. Of course, I was drafting him which allowed me to accelerate to 130 just as quickly as he did. No way I could pass him, though. If he would have kept going, I'm sure he would have started pulling away.
When I looked in the rear view mirror, you were WAAAAYYY back there. I didn't realize you tried keeping up until you started talking about it.

Truth be told, I was very impressed by how your 4cyl pulled. That thing has some balls. You got a great car there matched up with the manual tranny.

Fun time for sure. Enjoyed hanging out with Ronin and his bud and all those Solara dudes.

[edit] I just ordered a TRD Rear Sway bar. That will be helpful for the next meet.
