DRIVE FAST

Trust me the busa is WAY FASTER. Not trying to be a jerk just think that sometimes people over estimate what bikes can do. Just look at all the youtube videos of stock production bikes doing over 200 mph, ya right hahaha.

Reving your engine with another car, other car races away, and you pull away like an old lady = exact same charges for BOTH!

Yup my days are done. The little Datsun that could is no longer needed, and was just sold. Too many idiots wanted to race it, and the cars long standing sleeper reputation made it "the car to beat". Not many cars would take me on for $$, and I live in a major muscle car town. I haven't raced it for years. It was hard to not "go fast" in it, and when that "street racing, speeding, stunting" law came into effect, I saw the writing on the wall, and "got out of it".

I like cruising with the top down way better...And I don't smell like exhaust/gas after driving it around.

The ricer hangout scene in my area is dead, thanks to the law, and their fancy helicopter!

I prefer to think about the "good ole days" when ever I get the urge to be dumb.

Driving in a 25mph in my mildly modified 951 in a small town setting I hear this disturbance... A ruckus if you will closing in on me... And woosh, a "ricer fly by was performed"..... Immediately followed by heavy braking so he didn't run the red light he failed to acknowledge. After I stopped laughing and caught my breath looked over and shook my head.

I followed him as we seemed to be taking the same rout. Every stop sign and every straight he was gunning it like... Well... A ricer...

We hit a stop light upon approaching the highway,With a 2 lane entrance at my disposal I was right behind him with no traffic near. The green light turns, he gunned it, shortly after I got on it. By 80mph I was a good fender ahead of him and decided to let off. He carried on, kept going for at least 30 more seconds.

He slowed down and followed me off the next exit, we talked a little bit and I found out his rice machine is a Honda Accord with a H22 and a T4 turbo kit. My 951's mods consisted of a cat delete, Autothority chips, LRBE and a 3.0BAR FPR. So I figured it to be a ok kill. Now I have full bolt ons, 61-1.. etc..

I later found out he told EVERYONE I cruise with that he smoked my car and it is a terd. I told everyone how it really went and they said prove it. One of the guys told the ricer "run em for $500 40-100mph since you already beat him it would be easy money". The ricer would have none of it. He still holds true to his story, that he pulled bus lengths on me. The ricers of the group believe him... Ill just have to invite my mechanic to bring his e85 monster 951 so we can both laugh at their stupidity.

I hate today's rice groups!
