I know this sounds kind of childish but tonight about 2 hours after I got my new GT25R turbo put on my redtop in my s13 coupe, I was cruising around and came upon a GTO, we raced from a roll and I beat him by 2-3 car lengths, and then at the next light we raced and I beat him by that same amount or more. I was ahead of him through the whole race, he never came close, and never really began to pull on me. I Love Turbo POWER!

Not just GT25, GT25R. Ball bearing, correct?

It was a brand new GTO, and yes my turbo is the GT25R bb from Garret.

Before my SR swap I had lots of cars try to race me all the time. But after blowing away a couple civics and turbo eclipses I have hardly anyone try to race me. Word travels quickly in my area I guess. I have had strangers come up to me and say, "hey aren't you the guy with the SR S13?" So now it seems like all I ever seem to race is mustangs and camaros. Thats why it was such a surprise to come across a brand new GTO. The most fun I have had for awhile.
