Also, FWIW, the R230 looks real nice blacked out. Yours is the only one I've seen done up like that, and it looks really good.
I'll have Doug Photo-chop it 1st

Damn Sean...always having fun! The only things that seem to want to race me are Honda's, Scions, 350Z's and IS350's. Not even worth the gas nor ticket. The last fun thing I raced was a GT-R on the way to Famoso, but you know that because I called you right after...LOL. Keep it safe and nice kill!

GT-R is on another level than a Stock Challenger SRT8 I'll gladly trade you (5) SRT8's for (1) GT-R

I envy you guys, I never get anything good down here!

I would jump at the chance to run a 350Z; some action is better than no action.

Saw an RS6 today driving quite spiritedly, but the traffic was way heavy so no-go.

Are you for real? I visited SD last weekend and on the way over I saw 2 Ferrari's, M6's, and a few Z06's...all though traffic is heavy. As for 350Z's, there are plenty of them in the Bay Area. Oh yeah, on my way back from SD there was a white 350Z that was on my A$$ for a few miles but traffic didn't allow a run. He started jumping in and out of lanes but I don't play that game, it's one thing to jeopardize my life but others...no thanks.

I'll see Aston Martins and Ferrari's here and there but even if there aren't many cars on the road, none of them want to play. I think it has to do with the fact that nobody cares about racing a fat Mercedes sedan lol. That RS6 though, he knew that it wasn't a normal Mercedes sedan... It's a good thing that there was a lot of traffic too, he would have blown my doors off more likely than not!

I have only gotten a couple decent runs since I've had the car (almost a year now). And the pattern seems to be that I'll have to somehow display the power of the car first before anyone realizes that it's something worth challenging. A 335i, a Ford Lightning, and an Evo... and I think that's about it. All kills btw


Oh and even tho it might be a waste of time (maybe/maybe not) I would jump at the chance to get a kill on a 350Z just to leave him wondering what he has to do to his car to get it to keep up with the Benz haha.

Nice kills. It's not always easy to provoke a race but if you're persistent it could happen. Blueknight and myself chased down the GT-R for at least 10-15 miles down I5 before we provoked him... . It was well worth the time.

The next time I'm in SD I'll shoot you a pm and maybe we could hookup and get some runs in. I'm sure Sean and a few of his buddies would be game.

Have a good one from a few days ago. Come up behind a brand new (dealer paper plates) GS460 in the fast lane. Could tell the guys was pumped in his new car, as he sped up. Weird thing happened, my "antisocial" horns sprouted and I decided to ruin this guys day. No traffic, slide over to the right lane and creep up. He hammers it, I blow his doors off and from my rear view mirror see him throw his hands up as the 4 pipes come into focus. Good guy, mutual thumbs up as we caught traffic.
