I was cruising up the highway doing the speed limit and minding my own in my GTA when suddenly a mid 90's red Integra with blacked out windows and taillights and a fartcan comes up on me and then does a ***** blow by on me. I weighed my options about possible jailtime and said WTF and proceeded to step it up to 130 real fast to catch up to him. Once I caught up I hung out next to him at 110 for awhile then we slowly came down to about 80 and I kept my distance. Then we hit a straight and I blew by him and proceeded to very quickly put a 1/8 mile between us so I could set him up for the kill. I then slowed to about 70 and waited and sure enough he took the bait and came flying up to me. I let him get his front bumper equal with my back one and then I booted it and I'd say he made it to my door if lucky when I met his speed and pulled away fast. I proceeded to do this to him for about 5 miles and tease the hell out of him then I slowed down and let him blow by and disappear.
Now I know picking on an Integra is like beating up a retarded kid, but it was just too damn fun to not share here and the kid had it coming for even remotely thinking he had a chance lol.

LOL, cool. I have never been a fan of high speed R****r style racing (kinda dangerous) but, You did good. Racing from a dig, or slower roll would have been even better.

Yeah, I would have loved to get him from a dig and see what kind of distance I put on him in a mile lol.

RS Chris

You wouldnt see him after a mile. I raced a very similar car years ago in my RS. I only ran to about sixty and beat him by about two or three cars.

I was on the freeway the other night and found out that my car is governed at 110.Are the 350 cars not governed?

Its been too long since I used the stock prom... there are a few ways to get around the governor... I believe some thirdgens didn't have them.

Shane B

oh ok thanks.

Wow, that sucks. I didn't know they used a governor on any thirdgens. I've only owned 350's though, so that is all I really know when it comes to the little details like that. 350's are ungoverned (at least everyone that I've driven or owned) and will run until they can't run no more.

When i still had my 305 it was governed

Seems like the LO3's have governors around there. My stock LB9 went 125+ a couple times.

Curious that there would be a governor on the L03 considering it is the slowest of the V8s.

Nice kill! I too raced a dude from my school in a teggy. He talked about how fast his car was, and **** about mine. His car had a VTEC engine swap, some 6 speed trans, and a whole bunch of other dumb **** like a VTEC controller. Anyways I found him one night and we went at it and I left him in the dust. All he said the next day at school was "I still dont like your car" I said "dont feel bad, I don't like cars with lawn mower engines either..."

NY3RDGEN

Sounds like a sore loser thats just jealous of a gorgeous GTA.

RS Chris

The LO3 had a governor because of the tires it had. The limiter was set to the speed rating of the tires.

The 88 L03 cars didn't have a limiter, the 89+ cars got them though.

Shane B

Yeah its pretty bad when you can get a camry with a 4 banger with 180 hp now.

RS Chris

But its a Camry. How many of us have had dreams about driving around in a Camry and thinking about how bad *** we look? And we have all done that at some point in our third gens. Don't deny it.

TheGoodOld305

my 87 305 tpi shuts down at 135

nickhil2003

do the 305 5 speed cars have governor?

d00012

Sweet, mine has no limiter. Neither does my 87 2.8 (actually set at 255 mph)



Anywho, ever since I started to drive my Firebird (V8), I haven't gotten the ***** fly-bys. But always get them in my Camaro (V6).

I've actually been itching to do a little light-to-light racing. First one to the speed limit, of course. That's how I do it on the street. :P

Wow...A TBI 4.3 or CPI 4.3 Astro/Safari van would take you on the highway with enough road....Those things are governed at 115 in the stock memcal and I can tell you they will both touch the shut-off.

Shane B

Mine does! lol
