'85 T/A vs '90+ 240sx

I was going home after picking up my car from the shop and I am at this light next to a red early 90s 240sx. It was a young guy with a girl listening to loud music. The light turns green and I take off like normal but my car starts acting up and I gas it a little to see what was wrong with it. All of a sudden I hear an engine going wot. The guy thought I was trying to race him. Well he passes me and I had no choice but to step on it going at about 35 mph. Needless to say that I walked him pretty easily.
He tried instigating more but my car is not in the best of conditions and there was traffic up ahead. This was my first race in a very long time.

hmmm when was the last time you changed your fuel filter? sounds like that could be one of the reasons why your car is acting up.

Thanx. I'll have to check that. I think I'm just gonna give the car a well deserved tune up since it was not driven for a while.
