Nothing worth racing in Hawaii...

This island is so boring. Plenty of ricers from 350z's, evo's, sti's, s2000's, G35's, etc... I have a few runs with G37's, 335's, one M3 but driver was lame, saw and M5 with 60 year old grandpa driving it so no action.

E55 is total sleeper. Most people think its grandpa's weekend golf car.

Where the M's, 911's, even other AMG's at? Not calling anyone out, but I'd like to have some fun like you guys too.

I have the same problem around here (Columbia, South Carolina). I'd probably have better luck around the beach areas, but here in the middle not much happens.

or you could come visit us in the Sarasota/Venice, FL area. its never hard to find a nice car to race here...getting them to run is another story however, as most folks in the area are senior citizens LOL.






...but, if you must stay on the island, i found some action for you...you can thank me later :

...i'm sure an adequate number of these guys can cater to your desires...but careful not to bite off more than you can chew.

I've seen there numbers on a dynojet. Crazy! Most of these guys use the same shop I do. I saw their pulls layered over mine. Hawaii just has traffic from 530am - 8pm no stop. Lucky to hit 60 mph with moving traffic. Its so lame.

to be honest, i don't know all that much about these guys...i just kinda knew that there was a Supra community in Hawaii - i didn't know they had a club until i searched yesterday. but after skimming over the site briefly, it appears that not all of them produces crazy numbers, so there is some hope (heck, there may even be hope against some of these high HP guys who, although they make ridiculous power, may not be able to get it to the ground efficiently without the right tire/suspension setup). there are some BPU Supra members over there - some of them will certainly be slower than you, and some will undoubtedly be faster - but Supras in the BPU range should be good competition for your E55 nonetheless).

on that note, i've been to Hawaii once for two weeks, and while that's hardly enough time to get to know the island(s), i saw no major highways or stretches of road that would make for some good drag or roll racing. i did however see plenty of winding roads with high cliffs on one side and shear drop-offs on the other, like the "Road to Hana" for instance (on Maui). although i wouldn't want to "touge" down these roads for fear of falling thousands of feet to my death LOL.
