1st kill in my new FD vs M3
Mods are below
comming home @ 4am dropping of my girl heading south on US-1 i was crusing around 50mph and i see a Firebird Formula (2003) was going to try someting but decided just to cruise beside him for a while. but was kind of tired but decided not to do it. comming @ a light i see a white M3 (the new fat ones) with tainted windows pull in the street. so i speed up leaving the firebird n was like (i heard alot of m3's gettinig beat by FD's so this could be my first learning experience here. As soon as he sees me pulling up he revs his straight 6. So i was like ok LETS GET IT ON!. so i kinda speed up. and we didnt do any honk. who ever speed up first the other would be right behind him (3 lanes) so he speeded up first(got the jump on me). I was in second (hes pulling) shift to third (hes a half length ahead) and messed up instead of shifting to 4th i shift to second (dammit) luckly i was shifting @6k. so we did it again. 2nd Car length on me. 3rd dead even. 4th i was pulling then had to slow down (turn was comming up) . stopped at a light and asked him if he wanted to run @ a open road but he denied. just said nice car and we split up. I guess i was over to excited when i was shifting otherwise i would of won both races.

That is one of the absolute WORST places to race. Newbies
What you should have done was have him follow you to the 826 onramp N. Yeah that's right....the turn to the right, then the big turn to the left, then to the right, then the nice big straightaway. Should be able to hit at least 140-150mph when passing Dadeland mall.

Good. Be careful, you don't want to hurt anyone or your car. When you race make sure you win though. Too many y ers in Miami. Last night some punk in a 04 Mustang GT with exhaust gave me a wierd look and spat on the ground next to my car, then turned right really fast. I turned right after him from the middle lane and got next to him. He had a perfect opportunity, he declined. I was on fire I would have ed him a new and he would have been shook from the sound of the rotary for years to come. Then you got the 350Z drivers, the world's fastest super sports car of course.

M3's are fun. When I first got my car, I raced a modded RSX-S and missed third. Overrevved to about 11600rpms. I know it was that high because the little Apexi RSM stores the max rev. I just shot a flame, and went home thinking I blew it up. Gotta love the rotary sometimes.
for getting your FD running. Hopefully youll be there on the 24th.

Damn school computers edit out all the bad words, makes my sentences sound all messed up. Ali that is some high rpm. There was no rev limiter? I have the Power FC set to 8500 on my street port.

Well stock 255hp happens at 6500rpm. So yours will probably be somewhere slightly above that. Hard to say really until you dyno it. Every car is different.
If I were you, I'd shift somewhere between 6500-7000rpm
Unless you have a REALLY sensitive butt, and you can feel exactly when the power begins to die

Flybye, how come I never see you at any of the meets. It would be cool to meet a Mod.
