: g5 gt vs. lex IS 250 AWD
vpec13 01-10-2009, 10:34 PM so im with a few of my lady friends, and we meet up with a few of her guy friends... some rcih kid driving an IS.. right away he goes lets race ill spank that.. so we exchange a few words.. and off we go to the highway... do a pull from 55 mph i drop it into second.. and from 55 to about 120 i just take him and slowly pull away..
mind you we both each had 4 ppl in the car.. he was using paddle shifters and i am manual.. so i was happy with that outcome
WVspeed6 01-10-2009, 10:36 PM Top speed in second gear is probably around 50. You'd be retarded to go into second at 55mph.
vpec13 01-10-2009, 10:38 PM my second gear tops out at 60... so idk what ur talking about haha.. but then again i have an 08 GT.. so idk if the gears are differnt?
WVspeed6 01-10-2009, 10:40 PM I was guestimating, but even then, wouldn't it have been better to start in third. I mean, our cars are great in 60 rolls because 60 is a sweet spot in third gear, so why not go from there?
vpec13 01-10-2009, 10:42 PM well he just kept slowing down.. so i said hey why not drop it into second haha.. i mean i wanna say 55 roll it could have been less.. but i feel second gear just brings alot of power for me.. but then again. thats just me.. but all that mattters is that i beat him lol
xander40 01-10-2009, 10:46 PM i found in my car from like a 40-50 roll is great on my car. thats my sweet spot
vpec13 01-10-2009, 10:47 PM agreed.. i just feel 2nd gear is my power gear
karnivor 01-10-2009, 10:48 PM good win.
but 4 people in each car...:ohmy bad news bears
:deadhorse
vpec13 01-10-2009, 10:50 PM yeah i know... thast the only thing that sucked.. it woulda been a nice race with just drivers.. but oh well
Nighthawk243 01-11-2009, 12:01 AM For that speed, 3rd gear is my gear. On the 2.2L's, the gears top out quicker than the GT's do.
G5PA2TX 01-11-2009, 12:19 AM GT's have different gearing 55 is a 2nd gear. Even tho i do think a at that kinda speed 3rd you would have out pulled him also
xander40 01-11-2009, 12:41 AM yeah i know... thast the only thing that sucked.. it woulda been a nice race with just drivers.. but oh well
i think racing w/ 4 ppl in each car no bueno for safety reasons. you get in a wreck thats 3 other people's lives in your hands. and 3 other people you are no responsible for if soemthign does happen
Chris 25 01-11-2009, 05:57 AM How Fast did it get ?? :bath:
vpec13 01-11-2009, 07:45 AM i broke 120... that was my top speed.. i mean there was minimum traffic.. but still yes was very stupid on my part
kingG5 01-11-2009, 08:43 AM i thought we voted to stop retarded stories like this?

vpec13 01-11-2009, 10:42 AM that video is terrible.. i got the chills so many times during it..
GTCAM 01-11-2009, 11:54 AM i no i cant watch it anymore, the song in the backround is really good with the tone of the vid, its creppy and gives u the chills (evanessence i think its by)

underground 01-11-2009, 02:47 PM I won't even begin to explain the idiocy involved with racing with 4 ppl in your car. C'mon.
kingG5 01-11-2009, 04:58 PM I won't even begin to explain the idiocy involved with street racing nevermind with 4 ppl in your car. C'mon.
Fixed. :)
Ghost1497 01-11-2009, 06:29 PM okay... even "I" won't do that...
LayLah The G5 01-11-2009, 06:52 PM Don't race with people in your car... you'll be faster and if anything happens.. you wont kill anyone!
jestin90 01-11-2009, 07:32 PM yeah, the weight difference is unbelievable. I can lose to a cavalier if i have ppl in my car. I dont race with ppl in my car anymore, too irresponsible. ( and way too slow ;) )
hot-pursuit 01-11-2009, 07:41 PM my power gear is second. but a drop from 5th to 3rd pulls hard too. but that's cause i was doing 90km/h
oh, and street racing FTMFL never do that shit.
vpec13 01-15-2009, 12:34 AM true oh well.. it was fun.. and no one got hurt... so its straight
