The new TL's are pretty quick on the highway.

yea the TL a-specs are even more so, their suspension is made by the dude who did the NSX's suspension. I was looking at one briefly but it was too much and it wasn't any faster than the g35 or any nicer (besides the 5.1 sound that is).

I've gotta admit the new TL's are pretty nice. And we all know how reliable Honda is.... My friend has a black one.

Yeah my Mom has a TL. I'm pretty impressed with it. For some reason I the only people that are trying to mess with me are tiburon's and integra's. I don't even waste the gas 1/2 the time. Although lately a lot of older model corvette's and new camaro's keep bugging me. Those are much more fun to play with

When I see an integra I dont even look over. Unless it's a type r then I look over to admire it because I've driven one and I like it a lot. Tiburons do want to try and mess with me, but it's rare. I just notice that if I line up with them they try to take off really fast. But mostly it's the C4 corvettes that try to race. Once I was making a turn and I saw a Camaro come up on me really fast and I just took off through the corner had a good lead then let off. No point in street racing anyways. Then there's the occasional Evo or Sti that wants some. I actually smoked an STI in light traffic. A black one. Maybe it's because he was too scared or can't drive. Not sure which one.

God, speaking of an Evo, I was on 495 heading towards 95S when this black evo w/ a muffler the size of the bay bridge came up on my ***. He kept zoomin by and slowing down...over and over again....and finally rolled his window down and said 'your car sux!!' and was flashing a thumbs down over and over. I tried to ignore him but he wouldnt let it go....so after trying to be the bigger person () I rolled down the window and yelled 'no matter what, its only a mitsubishi' -

j/k pratik!!

Capitol Raceway is pretty cool. Just make sure you get there early so you can get your money's worth in runs. After like 6:30 there are a lot of ppl and it takes a lot of time to get runs in. Ppl start lining up to get in at like 4:30. Last time I was there I got there at 5:00 and I was the 10th person in line.

If you say you're car can run 13s you're suppose to have a helmet and I think you need to have a racing harness in order for them to let you run.

High 13's requires a helmet, lower 13's requires a driveshaft loop. 12's I think gets you a rollcage. Not 100% sure, but JUST SAY 14's. If you run a 13 they will warn you. No big deal.

First time I ever went to a drag strip a buddy of mine met me out there. His car was in pieces at home but he dragged his 15 passenger van. 18.9 @ 75 MPH...not too shabby!

It looks like it'll rain all day tomorrow, so if anyone is interested in going to happy hour, Juan (valdeztke on my350z) and I are headed to 1223 in Dupont. $20 for top shelf liquor. Let me know!
