Dude are you kidding me?? We "were" behind you guys until ME AND VASIR GOT CUT OFF BY A STUPID PORSCHE!! and he didn't move out the way I swear I was gonna pull a movie stunt move and cut across thru the emergency lane on him and throw some dust at him, and I couldn't get around cause he would switch in my lane when I'm about to pass him!! So we fell behind, but we finally caught back up. I had to crack 135 to catch back up almost hitting my limiter

What was up yesterday with all the flying projectiles. On the way to Lucilles a truck dumped a bunch plastic trash cans, then on the way to the Rosebowl another truck was dropping cardboard boxes like rabbit pellets. I am knocking on wood right now cause that was a lucky day that all that stuff missed me. Anytime there was an opening the 55 was screaming but once the traffic picked up I laid off. The last major run I did was when we went from the 210 to the 57 up hill and I left you behind like a crack *****'s baby.
The 57 was a little too crazy for me with all those idiots like Porsche guy. I was mellow which was not normal but was the right thing to do. Whats funny was instead of going home I went to my local bar for a night cap.

That diaper thing was flipping crazy- I saw you shedding it and I had to first guess what it was and second what its flight pattern was going to be.

Dude I was wondering wtf that thing in the air was LOL!
I see everybody swerving out the way, I mean man did we all have some random encounters, trash cans, boxes, Chris's car parts flying everywhere
haha jk, what a day! Would do it all over again definately.Yeah about that Porsche guy....you taught him a big lesson Vic you left him in the dust and I think he was "trying" to actually keep up with you. I wanted to ram right into him for being such a punk.
LOL after the 57 when you got off Vic, I thought you were following that Porsche, dunno if you remember that you got off the exit following a Porsche
I think you left us all behind from Lucilles till the end of the meet, lol I want my car to sound like that now

You guys are cracking me up, I dont realize how loud my car is and to think it was even louder without the resonators
As for Porsche guy I followed him into the loop to the 91 and once we cleared the turn I hit the hyperspace button and went 4 lanes to the left and told him to "say goodbye".

To get back some low end power. The supercharged engines need some back pressure- by eliminating the resonators and post cats and putting on free flowing exhaust like Eisenmann, caused me to lose tq and hp.

Didn't even get a chance to make the rounds and say what's up to everybody, so I apologize for being so anti-social. My car has not been treating me well since that day, so was tryin' not to show my anxiety to get it fixed. The drive over to Jose's house consisted of my car jumping into "limp" mode. Trying to merge from the 101 to the 10 w/ no boost and no acceleration is not fun.
