RX7Club.com - Mazda RX7 Forum - Maxima feels the pull.

Alright, so I was cruising the speed limit down the local highway and i do a short rear view check to see a black car coming up quickly. I don't think much of it so i go at my usual pace. Well the black car slows down and starts cruising behind me doing the limit...obviously taunting me. "WTF is this guy doing" I'm thinking. The black car then pulls from behind me and flys by me. After he gets about 2 cars in front of me i got WOT and i pull past him pretty hard. I perfectly nail the turn and dab my brakes for the red light up ahead... . The guy in the maxima comes up in the lane next to me. A few cars pull up behind us because the red light behind us just went green.

I look at his car to see a decal in his rear window for some web site and see that it is the last style maxima, his car is tinted, pretty clean IMO, nice looking car. I rev my engine a bit and put my car in "L." "Wait a second," i think ",This guy isn't worth manually shifting...ill just have to sacrifice a bit of lag." So i put the car back in D and I didnt even brake boost from the stop. The light turns green, i dont slam it right off the line because i wanted to see if this guy was really going to try and race me. He babys it off the line so he obviously wouldnt get any wheelspin then he punches it. Note: I am not going WOT yet so he pulls about 1/4 car on me. Well then i got WOT and i feel a little bit of boost lag so he then pulls a little more on me(he was probably excited because he thought he was beating me). As soon as I enter boost this guy was history. I pull crazy on the guy and I switch into the lane in front of him and just keep pulling until i shut down. I guess the guy gave up because he switched to the middle lane and slowed down A LOT. I hop on my turn off and head to my destination.
