Raced A Skyline In Phoenix

So, I'm on my way into work in my DD '07 C6. I spot an ultra clean charcoal grey skyline with huge black wheels on it. He obviously spots me in his mirror and starts switching lanes to let me pull up. I get closer and realize it's a RHD version and the plates say GODZILA. Uh oh.

So, I downshift to fourth to play a little. (should've used third) We line up at about 70mph and both nail it. I get about a half a car length and then he hits boost. He left me like I was in reverse. Holy ****. Cool just to see such a rare car, even cooler to run one, even in my stock car.

It would take a lot more. That car is going to have forced induction after I have fun with it this summer.

I havent really looked at them all that much nor do I know a lot about them. I like the look and from what I've heard the engine is even better than the 2JZ for modding. Seeing one is special enough, running one is even more rare. Beating one...PRICELESS! for that occasion you should have bought the Z-06.

as for buying the Z06, that would have set me back another 30 grand. And when I can do heads and a cam for about $3,000, you can guess what route I'm gonna go. That package with bigger injectors and a tune is good for north of 500 horsepower!

Was it a R33 Skyline? Possibly silver. If so i remember seeing it in an OLD issue of Turbo. I might still have it actually.

Get used to it. Once the GTR comes over here, this will be a much more common scene.
