Wicked_Lex Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Any GS owners have racing stories to share? track/street? I only have a couple, neither one lasting more than 3-4 seconds before the other guy gave up. First race - I was in San Pablo, I think along the Richmond Parkway, and an IROC Camero pulled up along side of me when I was going about 30 MPH. We both looked at each other and jammed the accelerator at the same time. The IROC kept up with me for about a second until the GS kicked down and the variable valve timing started Kicking A**. 3 seconds later I was 3 lengths ahead and the IROC gave up. Second race – I was stopped in the right lane before an intersection and the right lane merged into the left about 50 yards ahead. A cocky-looking dude with an old school GM with a loud V-8, stereo, and 20 inch spinners pulled along side and ahead of me like he was going to crowd me out. I'm thinking 'just try it'. I put the tranny into power mode and switched OFF the VSC waiting for the light to turn green. Stock GS400s don’t come off the line too fast so I made sure I nailed quick on the green. Old school got caught with his pants down and jammed the accelerator as I was flying buy. He got smaller and smaller in the mirror and gave up after about 3 seconds. At the next stop he pulled along side of me and I could see him looking my direction. As I looked his way he turned his head abruptly and made a left turn. Once more Detroit is embarrassed by a Master Rice Machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
