OT: Took my roommate's GS-R for a spin - took exactly three minutes...
... to get revved on/raced 
I got to the stoplight at the bottom of my hill just as it turned green, so I accelerate away in 2nd gear from about a 10-15 mph roll. Stunna in the "Action Package" Celica takes this as an affront, and peels out/redlines a few gears to catch me. Pulls even with me by the time I reach the speed limit, and zooms off at WOT :middlefinger:
I was taking his car to 5500-6000 at half throttle, but still. I was just trying to blow the carbon out (he drives like a grandmother).
THEN, on the way back from my shopping rounds (why the ***** doesn't anyone sell Lexol leather cleaner?!?), I get "raced" by another stunna in an S10 "Extreme y0!" I was just trying to merge before the lane ended. Guh.
Notes:
I still think GS-R's are uncomfortable
Rev-match downshifts in a B-series Honda is a thing of beauty :sniff:

What do you mean? Compared to the Volvo?
I got the "Extreme y0!" - Celica got me only because I let off at the speed limit (ricer excuse # 403
)

Blow the carbon out at 5500?! Bwahaha, dude, I bounce the damn limiter from the apt to work to do that!
That will be done this week - we're going to trade for a day

I'm 6'6 and I have no problem in my ITR.............. I have 2001 oem seats in there tho, don't know if that makes a difference...
GS-R's are uncomfortable to me. Type R's make me happy
