So I was riding around my friends neighborhood in my boys Altima 3.5 SE. At the time it was pouring down rain. We turned onto one of the backstreets in this neigborhood and out poped a blue m3. He was playing around in the rain without his traction control off. No doubt he's showing off, I'm sure he's got some chick in the pasenger seat creaming herself. We pay no attention to this, but a few seconds later he's right on ass, I guess he saw the 19s and exhaust because he wanted to play. My boy had no problem with this and we started shredding up the backstreets, hitting 90 on some streightaways. He tried to make a pass on us over the double yellow a number of times, but my boy David wasn't about to let it happen. I was grabbing onto the o sh*t handles like no other. We had some close calls ourselfs, but nothing like this.... Looking back I saw the M3's HID shoot from side to side of the Highway as he lost control and slammed into a ditch and ended up in a patch of pine trees.

To the driver of the M3: What were you thinking, everyone knows M3s can't keep up with Altimas

 

E36DJ is popular as hell!

 

That was a good story though.... fiction can be fun, however my boy David's Altima wasn't involved. I just put it in because Alex is always getting dogged at the stoplights by him. However this did happen to Alex's car last Friday, and I was in the back seat!!!! M3 + Rain + No Traction Control = Not a good plan. Alex wasn't driving thank god, he was in the passenger seat remaining calm as his BMW was hurdling out of control into a patch of trees

 

EDIT: just read update

 

I'm sure Alex will tell us the rest of the story since he is the resident "Drag VA Celeb" and is in 99% of the threds.

 

A picture speaks 1000 words...

 

 

I can't even figure out the damn tracks myself and I was in the car. The "problem" with rear wheel drive cars is that when you start to drift, most people figure that they can control the drift by letting off the gas; the car starts drifting too much (pointed the wrong way haha) and you let off the gas.
The problem with that is, once the car is drifting to the point where steering isn't keeping the car going the same direction, if you let off the gas, the REAR WHEELS CATCH TRACTION and the car starts going the direction the front wheels are turned, which is exactly what happened. He let off the gas and the car was still turned HARD over to the right from when he was correcting the drift.. so the car dived off the road. I have no idea how we didn't hit anything (or how we didn't get stuck) but thank God nothing happened - not sure what I would have done. All it takes is something like that (look how close that one track is to the tree) to put things in perspective for ya. Drifting can go from fun to expensive really fast, I'm glad all the ricers out there have front wheel drive.

 

wow... ur crazy...

 

For clarification I was NOT driving the car at the time (and traction control is obviously there for a reason in a rear wheel drive car.)
