LS1 240SX vs. Hyundai Genesis
Don't know if this is worth the post, but I had fun. So currently while I'm putting together some parts for the cam swap, and being that my other 240SX is down for upgrades, the LS1 twoforD is my only fun car for now.
Anyways, I decided to take the car out yesterday to take some stuff over to the Fedex drop to be shipped. Well I'm at the light and this brand new black Hyundai Genesis coupe rolls up with two high school looking kids in the front seats. So then I get a rev from that 2.0L turbo. I think to myself "Do I really need to embarrass these kids or not worry about it". I decide the later, however when the light turns green the Hyundai does some rediculous launch and smokes his rear tires past me and proceeds to "pull" away as I drive normal. So I get up to the next light and these little punks are snickering in the car. At this point I'm really motivated to open her up. So then this little 17 year old has the nerve to say "Hey, do you want to get beat again?"..... seriously, who says that to someone else? So I just look over and shake my head at them. I look ahead, no cars in front, do a quick cop check, looks pretty clear. Light turns green and this Genesis goes for another smokey launch. I rev her up and launch her when the light turns green (I'm on drag radials). I think I put about 5 cars on him by the time I hit 2 gear. So I ride out 2nd for just a bit, and feel bad and shift to 3rd to wait for him. Sure enough he's coming up quick still on the throttle. Just as he's at my back bumper I nail it to the firewall in 3rd, catch his speed, hit 4th and he's way way back. Pathetic. So I put it into 5th, then 6th and start to slow down to cruising speed, and this fool is still on the throttle and blows by me at about 100mph. So we go over a bridge and he's already stopped at the next light. I roll up and ask these guys, "Hey, do you want to get beat again?" To my comment the guy rolls up his windows in defeat. So I do a u-turn and head back to my destination.
Not the best kill story, but it was nice to take a turbo Genesis down.
