Slightest mistake and you've given the other opponent a lot of room and I believe this is what is happening. It's sad to see how hard they try and all I do is hold on to the gas and press the + + + a few times to get to 5th.

From past experience, that's how it seems. Not to mention the fact that every time a STI or EVO passes me, they keep looking at my car dreaming they went with mine. Lots of attention on the road from them for sure. Of course there are the other ones who come next to me and down shift so I could hear their aftermarket exhaust but that's the class thing we talked about earlier.

Both of the guys that lost to me using their evos have upgraded to other cars. One of them just purchased a red BMW M3 and the other one got an 07 350z.

I have hardly ever seen a 350z that catches my eye, probably because they are usually driven by 45 year old secretarys. I always at least take a glance at a STi or EVO.

Dreaming? Are you fucking shitting me? If I wanted a 350, I can get one easily.

And I have SMOKED more than one E46 M3. I also didn't buy my Evo and put exhaust on it for class. It's called added horsepower. Something your 350 lacks in when it comes to modding.

He's seriously got me wanting to break the law to show him what my rear license plate says.
