er, I thought it was an R32 GTR......
I got tailgated pretty bad last night, by what I thought was a stealth R32 GTR (it had one of those flat gray/primer paintjobs). It sounded loud as hell, and was pretty slammed to the ground (I could hear his front splitter cracking on the expansion joints). I noticed that it was a right-hand driver, because his passenger was dangling his head out the left side of the car (where the driver normally would be).
And so I was curious (I've never had to drive my E55 in street 'race' before) about the car, and waited for him to pull up to the light. I got a chance to look at his car, and noticed that the proportions were not right. In fact, it looked like it was too short. And the brakes looked funny too. I wasn't too sure what it was, but something was just 'off'. He revs really hard, I figured wth, and floored when the light turned green. And I left him like he was standing still. Later on I saw the exact same car at the local video store, and got a closer look. And realized he had DRUM BRAKES in the rear!! I looked closer and see that there's no pumpkin in the rear, and realize that I was looking at a Honda CIVIC, with a Skyline GTR bodykit No wonder the proportions were funny looking....

haha, thats pretty funny. theres some idiot around here with a older honda prelude thats supposed to look like a R33 GT-R. the saddest thing is most people around here think its actually a skyline, even in broad daylight.
